Bridging the research-practice gap in modern human resource management
探讨如何将严谨的学术研究与现代人力资源管理实践有效结合,通过理论洞见和合作研究帮助学者与实践者共同创造实用知识,提升工作绩效与幸福感。
As an applied field of management, human resource management (HRM) scholars strive to impact practice, which is still considered a major challenge. This paper focuses on how academic work can be meaningfully integrated with modern HRM practice by showing how rigorous academic work can successfully inform HRM in practice and how scholars and practitioners can co-create rigorous and relevant HRM knowledge. In particular, we illustrate how theoretical insights connected to the shaping, implementation, embeddedness , impact, and effectiveness of HRM practices are helpful in addressing core questions related to progress in a practical way, well-being, and performance at work. In addition, we show how HRM scholars and practitioners can collectively develop knowledge about emerging HRM topics through co-sponsored PhD research. We conclude by reflecting upon the role of academia and practice in bridging the HRM's science-practice gap.
