To address this, we draw upon insights from the social networks literature on brokerage to propose that HR practitioners can function as <em>research brokers</em>—individuals behaving as intermediaries between internal and external organisational stakeholders to control or facilitate academic research activities. We integrate the literatures on network brokerage and boundary management strategies to develop a typology of HR practitioner brokering behaviours. We identify which conditions lend themselves to productive brokering that can facilitate the execution of research project partnerships. We outline challenges faced by HR practitioners in the research brokerage role and approaches for addressing these challenges.

Herein, we examine how the compensation sub-system has been theorized and measured in HR systems-level research. Our review indicates that compensation is commonly included in bundles of HR practices, but there is little consistency in the measures used and most studies use 3 or fewer items to assess the entire compensation system. Further, few interactive effects are addressed, and context is rarely considered when offering configurational HR system models. These oversights hinder theoretical development and practical guidance for the field and managers alike. Based on the issues identified in our review, we offer five recommendations for future researchers to carefully address the specific components and interactions related to compensation practices within the broader context of HR systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48145,"journal":{"name":"Human Resource Management Review","volume":"35 3","pages":"Article 101088"},"PeriodicalIF":8.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143698038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While HRM researchers have historically relied on traditional <em>quantitative</em> methods, increased accessibility of text analysis techniques enabled by advancements in machine learning make <em>qualitative</em> data more convenient to analyze and include in decision-making processes. In this review, we systematically analyze research in HRM, organizational behavior, strategy, and entrepreneurship that has used text analysis to uncover and/or measure constructs. Our goals are to 1) delineate types of text analyses (categorization, dictionaries, supervised machine learning, and unsupervised machine learning), 2) review what constructs can be derived from text data, 3) describe how those constructs have contributed to the core HRM functions, 4) provide guidance on validation efforts that are needed to trust inferences made, and 5) and identify future research opportunities to use text analysis by HRM function. We support these points by conducting two text analyses on the papers in our review: a hand-coded content analysis using an existing framework and building a topic model of the abstracts. We find that while there is convergence (triangulation), there is notable divergence such that the topic model revealed more nuanced and useful clustering in significantly less time, thus illustrating the value of different types of text analysis. We encourage HRM researchers and practitioners to use machine learning to increase efficiency, reduce subjectivity, increase replicability, and facilitate methodological diversity.

However, the role of pracademics is conceptually underdeveloped and ambiguous, limiting our understanding of how actors engage in bridging the research-practice divide. We propose a continuum of research-practice roles, recognizing that hybrid roles are often fluid in nature. We explain how hybrid professionals hold different identities; as impact-driven scholars, reflective practitioners, or pracademics.

Drawing on three contemporary challenges in HRM, we illustrate how hybrid professionals can align HRM theory and practice and help close the research-practice gap.
