Abstract

Research on language in international business has grown substantially during the last two decades. However, research that links language to human resource management (HRM) has remained scarce. This is unfortunate because attracting, developing, motivating, and retaining a multilingual workforce is essential for the long-term success of organizations in today’s global business world. The present special issue on language in international HRM contributes to tackling this gap. We provide an overview of the current state of research on language in nternational HRM and preview the papers in this special issue. Building on and extending current knowledge, we propose future research directions in terms of 1) a nuanced understanding of HRM functions, 2) language as part of multinational diversity management, 3) consideration of different actors and different contexts, 4) robust theorizing at multiple levels, and 5) more diverse methods to capture complex realities of a multilingual workforce.

国际人力资源管理语言研究现状及未来研究方向

在过去的二十年里，对国际商务中语言的研究有了长足的发展。然而，将语言与人力资源管理(HRM)联系起来的研究仍然很少。这是不幸的，因为在当今的全球商业世界中，吸引、发展、激励和留住多语言员工对组织的长期成功至关重要。当前国际人力资源管理中的语言专题有助于解决这一差距。我们概述了国际人力资源管理中语言研究的现状，并在本期特刊中预览了论文。在现有知识的基础上，我们提出了以下方面的未来研究方向:1)对人力资源管理功能的细致理解;2)语言作为跨国多元化管理的一部分;3)考虑不同的参与者和不同的背景;4)在多个层面上建立健全的理论;5)更多样化的方法来捕捉多语言劳动力的复杂现实。
