Handbook of Research in International Human Resource Management

"Handbook of Research in International Human Resource Management", a book in LEA's "Organization and Management Series", provides a sophisticated, in-depth examination of research in international human resource management (IHRM). Editor Michael Harris compiles research in IHRM that is otherwise fragmented across numerous journals and conducted from several different approaches. In so doing, Harris recommends new directions and hypotheses to guide future researchers. This well-organized and much needed volume explores topics ranging from how to conduct international human resource management using both qualitative and quantitative methods, to defining culture, employee selection, performance management, union-management relations, and careers. Distinguished scholars discuss: national culture and cultural effects; methodological issues in IHRM; international performance management and appraisal; international compensation; international labor relations; and expatriate management.
