Abstract

Although time is an essential component of the relationships between human resource (HR) systems and their antecedents and consequences, strategic human resource management (SHRM) research has been long criticized for not paying enough attention to the role of time in theory development and research design. To evaluate how the time issue has been addressed in this research field, we reviewed 237 empirical studies on HR systems that incorporated time, using temporal features. We found that while the number of studies incorporating time has increased substantially over time, there is a lack of progress regarding testing and theorizing temporal effects, thus we lack understanding of change or relationships over time. Based on our findings, we offer specific guidance on hypothesizing and theorizing the role of time in SHRM, and we offer suggestions for research design and statistical analyses in temporal research of SHRM. By integrating temporal models, temporal features, and methodologies for testing temporal relationships with SHRM research, this review aims to advance SHRM research to adopt more truly dynamic views to examine HR systems and their antecedents and effects.

时间在战略性人力资源管理研究中的作用：回顾与研究议程

尽管时间是人力资源（HR）系统及其前因后果之间关系的重要组成部分，但战略人力资源管理（SHRM）研究长期以来一直受到批评，因为在理论发展和研究设计中对时间的作用重视不够。为了评估该研究领域是如何解决时间问题的，我们回顾了 237 项关于人力资源系统的实证研究，这些研究利用时间特征将时间纳入其中。我们发现，虽然随着时间的推移，纳入时间的研究数量大幅增加，但在时间效应的测试和理论化方面却缺乏进展，因此我们对时间的变化或关系缺乏了解。基于我们的发现，我们为假设和理论化时间在人力资源管理中的作用提供了具体指导，并为人力资源管理时间研究中的研究设计和统计分析提供了建议。通过将时间模型、时间特征以及检验时间关系的方法与人力资源管理研究相结合，本综述旨在推动人力资源管理研究采用更真实的动态观点来考察人力资源系统及其前因后果。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Management (JOM) aims to publish rigorous empirical and theoretical research articles that significantly contribute to the field of management. It is particularly interested in papers that have a strong impact on the overall management discipline. JOM also encourages the submission of novel ideas and fresh perspectives on existing research. The journal covers a wide range of areas, including business strategy and policy, organizational behavior, human resource management, organizational theory, entrepreneurship, and research methods. It provides a platform for scholars to present their work on these topics and fosters intellectual discussion and exchange in these areas.
