Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The focus of this Special Issue will be on the pivotal HRM issues impacting workplace environments. The scope will be global, including research on multi-national and international organizations. The purpose of this Special Issue is to showcase current scholarly work, both conceptual and empirical, on the rapidly changing factors that are directly transforming HRM. Expansion of the existing literature will include strategic and culture-based use of AI in HR processes and in the performance of work; leadership commitment to the thriving of a diverse workforce; employee economic empowerment; projections for changing roles in HR leadership; neurodiversity in workplace team building; and career resiliency in turbulent business environments. Related topics focused on changing workplace and worker dynamics are encouraged.
We request that, prior to submitting a manuscript, interested authors initially submit a proposed title and an abstract of 300–500 words summarizing their intended contribution. Please send it to the guest editor (dfcannon@gsu.edu) or to the Administrative Sciences editorial office (admsci@mdpi.com). Abstracts will be reviewed by the guest editors for the purposes of ensuring proper fit within the scope of this Special Issue. Full manuscripts will undergo double-blind peer-review.
Dr. Debra Cannon
