Synthèse

This special issue seeks to advance Human Resources Management (HRM) research by centering perspectives, experiences, and contexts from the Global South. While HRM scholarship has traditionally been dominated by Western theoretical frameworks and assumptions, there is a critical need to develop contextually-grounded HRM knowledge that reflects the unique institutional, economic, social, and cultural realities of countries and regions in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and other parts of the Global South.

The special issue welcomes empirical studies, theoretical contributions, critical reviews, and methodological innovations that challenge dominant HRM paradigms and offer new insights into how organizations manage human resources in Global South contexts. We are particularly interested in research that moves beyond adapting Western HRM models and instead develops indigenous, culturally-sensitive, and locally-relevant approaches to understanding people management.
