The Impact of Human Resource Management - Empirical Analyses of Firms and Employees

Human Resource Management is expected to increase employee productivity, motivation and retention. Demographic and technological change constitutes novel challenges for employers. The introduction of new Human Resource Management practices to recruit, train, retain and motivate employees is thus required.

The workshop will bring together 15–20 researchers working in the field of personnel and labour economics to discuss the impact of Human Resource Management on firms and employees. We seek high-quality academic work that enriches our understanding in topics such as recruitment strategies and hiring, personnel development, further training and life-long learning, compensation systems, flexible working time systems, age-specific work systems and family-friendly work practices.
