Construct Clarity in HRM Research
Human Resource Management Review
Special Issue Call for Papers
Construct Clarity in Human Resource Management ResearchClear, concise construct definitions are fundamental for effective theory building and the accumulation of knowledge through research. Without tight conceptual definitions, it is difficult to clearly explicate the nomological network around that construct or prevent unnecessary construct contamination, proliferation and redundancy. It also becomes difficult to develop or validate sound measures that operationalize those constructs with the appropriate content domain, level of analysis, degree of specificity, and dimensionality without clearly specified construct definitions. The problem of poorly defined constructs is not unique to Human Resource Management (HRM), but it has also not received the attention in HRM that it has in other literatures.
The aim of this special issue is to provide a forum on construct clarity in HRM research. More about this — and other related calls for papers– is posted here.
The deadline for submitting manuscripts is Monday, January 25, 2010. Read a sample issue of this journal.
