The extant empirical evidence on this question is mixed. The authors' meta-analysis of 34,594 layoff announcements taken from 126 samples featured in 78 studies reports that the average investor reaction is significantly negative (effect size of −0.549). Next, the authors use signaling theory—specifically, characteristics of the signal, the signaler, and the signaling environment—to examine variation in investor reaction. They find that investors do not react if a layoff announcement signals proactive management (e.g., cost cutting) but penalize the firm if the layoff indicates reactive management (e.g., decline in demand). The penalty is also positively associated with layoff size but unrelated to firm size. Further, investors have become less punitive over time, or if its stock is traded on an exchange in civil law (vs. common law) country. The empirical generalizations guide managers on the consequences of their layoff announcements.</p>","PeriodicalId":47916,"journal":{"name":"Human Resource Management Journal","volume":"34 3","pages":"792-809"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2023-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1748-8583.12532","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136153815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We argue that human resource management plays a critical role in supporting not only the organisation, but also workers, to navigate through macro-level events. Based on the contributions included in this Special Issue, we suggest a novel framework that situates and expands the role of the Human Resources (HR) function in contemporary organisations by proposing a new role, the <i>Proactive Carer</i>. We argue that the debates around the role of HR and HR professionals have so far been too narrow and internally focused. It is time to expand this role to be externally facing, proactively monitoring the macro-environment for significant events, anticipating any significant changes for workers, and designing interventions to minimise any negative impact.

Despite the evidence for gender-related challenges concerning expatriation, global mobility does not account for gender when it comes to policy considerations. Accordingly, based on 31 in-depth semi-structured interviews, we seek to explore why female expatriates continue to be underrepresented in international assignments. We find that the relation between a company's global mobility management and its respective GDM is, in most cases, nonexistent. We also discover that MNCs utilize a gender-blind approach that is shaped by stereotypes which favor the selection of male employees in global mobility.</p>","PeriodicalId":47916,"journal":{"name":"Human Resource Management Journal","volume":"34 3","pages":"753-780"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1748-8583.12529","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47247584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The “gap” between theory and practice is damaging to academics and practitioners. On the one hand, academic research is often highly theoretical and methodologically complex. On the other, HR professionals tend to oversimplify advice on “how to solve” HRM “problems” and they may conduct research lacking rigor and nuance. Insofar as a bridge can be built between HRM theory and practice, significant benefits exist for both parties. Mick Marchington exemplified this bridge. His commitment to pluralism wrought significant influence on the professional practice of HRM through highly readable and practically useful theory. We look to Marchington's work to draw lessons on how we can better bridge theory and practice for the enrichment of academics and practitioners.

We shift the focus to applicants' attributions about the reasons why an organization uses algorithms. Combining the human resources attributions model, signaling theory, and existing literature on the perceptions of algorithmic decision-makers, we theorize that using algorithms affects internal attributions of intent and, in turn, organizational attractiveness. In two experiments (<i>N</i> = 259 and <i>N</i> = 342), including a concurrent double randomization design for causal mediation inferences, we test our hypotheses in the applicant screening stage. The results of our studies indicate that control-focused attributions about personnel selection (cost reduction and applicant exploitation) are much stronger when algorithms are used, whereas commitment-focused attributions (quality enhancement and applicant well-being) are much stronger when human experts make selection decisions. We further find that algorithms have a large negative effect on organizational attractiveness that can be partly explained by these attributions.

HR practices can serve as either job resources or challenge demands to employees, thereby having differential effects on the psychological, physical, and social dimensions of wellbeing. We integrate a measure of challenge demand (including time pressure and workload) as a mediator to further reveal how these different categories of HR practices influence employee wellbeing. Using structural equation modeling in a dataset of 4823 individual workers from a National Workplace Survey of Employees conducted in Ireland, we find that job resource HR practices are positively associated with all three dimensions of wellbeing both directly and indirectly, while challenge demand HR practices are positively associated with psychological wellbeing but negatively associated with physical wellbeing and social wellbeing primarily through the mediating effect of time pressure and workload.
