Budhwar, P. S., Varma, A. and Patel, C. (2016) Convergence-divergence of HRM in the Asia-Pacific: context-specific analysis and future research agenda. Human Resource Management Review, 26 (4). pp. 311-326. ISSN 1053-4822 doi: 10.1016/j.hrmr.2016.04.004

Abstract/Summary

In this article, we highlight the significance and need for conducting context-specific human resource management (HRM) research, by focusing on four critical themes. First, we discuss the need to analyze the convergence-divergence debate on HRM in Asia-Pacific. Next, we present an integrated framework, which would be very useful for conducting cross-national HRM research designed to focus on the key determinants of the dominant national HRM systems in the region. Following this, we discuss the critical challenges facing the HRM function in Asia-Pacific. Finally, we present an agenda for future research by presenting a series of research themes.
