We address this disconnect by shifting the focus from individual and team experiences to the organizational management of virtual work through HRM. We conceptualize virtual work and organize prior research along four dimensions: spatial, temporal, technological, and employment relationship. Building on this, we develop an integrative framework based on two axes, the degree of virtuality and the nature of the employment relationship, from which four forms of virtual work emerge and between which organizations may transition: co-located, hybrid, fully virtual, and virtual gig work. We delineate four corresponding HRM roles and their implications for managing and transitioning between these arrangements: traditional, integrative, enabling and empowering, and algorithmic HRM. We conclude by outlining future research directions to advance HRM in virtual work, with a focus on emerging technologies, global contexts, and rethinking theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches.</p>","PeriodicalId":48310,"journal":{"name":"Human Resource Management","volume":"65 5","pages":"1387-1405"},"PeriodicalIF":8.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/hrm.70087","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148862211","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}

Despite the plausible benefits of ESPPs for participating employees, many employees do not participate in ESPPs even when they are eligible. To shed light on this puzzle, we investigated key variables related to the plan (i.e., discount rates), the firm (i.e., stock price movements), and an external event (i.e., COVID-19 pandemic) in relation to employees' participation in ESPPs. Using a unique proprietary dataset on employee stock purchases from 40 publicly traded companies with a total of 1,005,300 employees, we found that discount rates and past stock price increases, on their own, were not associated with higher participation. However, these relationships became significantly positive when past stock prices displayed stability rather than volatility during certain pre-participation periods. In addition, we observed that the firms in our dataset had significantly higher ESPP participation rates during (vs. before) the pandemic.

Drawing on psychological contract theory, this study examines how reductions in WFH availability influence employee job satisfaction and tests psychological contract violation as the key causal mechanism underlying this relationship. Using two complementary studies, we provide evidence that scaling back WFH availability leads to declines in employee job satisfaction after the pandemic. The first study leverages longitudinal organizational data from U.S. federal agencies spanning 2016 to 2023 and a quasi-experimental research design to examine how sharper reductions in WFH availability affect employee job satisfaction. The second study uses a scenario-based experimental design to demonstrate that reductions in WFH availability increase perceptions of psychological contract violation, which in turn reduce job satisfaction. Together, these findings highlight that post-pandemic reductions in previously available flexibility are not merely logistical adjustments, but meaningful relational changes with important implications for employee attitudes.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48310,"journal":{"name":"Human Resource Management","volume":"65 5","pages":"1367-1384"},"PeriodicalIF":8.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148862351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lower-performing employees, in particular, are more likely to reduce their effort in the future as their expectancy perceptions weaken. This study examines a critical yet underexplored design feature of PFP systems: PFP payment timing, which refers to the temporal distance between performance feedback and reward disbursement. Drawing on expectancy theory, we propose that instant PFP payments exert stronger incentive effects on future performance among lower-performing employees than do delayed PFP payments. We test these hypotheses using a field experiment conducted in a real estate sales firm. The results indicate that, relative to delayed PFP payments, instant PFP payments improve the subsequent performance of lower-performing employees, although this effect attenuates over time.

However, its effectiveness sometimes falls short of these expectations. Most previous studies have examined EPM's side effects from the perspective of psychological reactance, treating it simply as a monitoring stressor. To extend this literature, we draw on workplace objectification theory and propose that EPM fosters employees' perceived objectification by signaling objectifying cues, which in turn undermines employee job performance. Moreover, supervisor monitoring styles (observational and interactional) can either strengthen or weaken the relationship between EPM and perceived objectification. We tested our model using an online experiment with 199 US participants and a multi-wave field survey with 294 Chinese employees, and all hypotheses were supported. Theoretically, this research complements the psychological reactance perspective in EPM research by introducing perceived objectification as a humanity-related mechanism through which EPM may shape employee performance. We also advance workplace objectification theory by extending its scope from human–human interactions to human–technology interactions. Practically, we offer guidance on preserving employees' humanity while adopting technological and human monitoring to maintain performance.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48310,"journal":{"name":"Human Resource Management","volume":"65 5","pages":"1429-1447"},"PeriodicalIF":8.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148862559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many organizations are currently seeking to clarify and often increase the requirements for employee presence at employer premises, meaning studies are needed to better understand how HR should look to influence decision-making regarding office attendance practices. We draw on theories of boundary control to examine the relationship between return-to-office (RTO) policy enforcement, office time, and eudaimonic worker wellbeing; specifically work-related vitality and work meaningfulness. We propose that enforced RTO policies serve to lower eudaimonic wellbeing via reducing both the psychological experiences of volition (working from one's preferred location) and control (being able to choose where one works). Across two time-lagged survey studies, including a field study in an organization implementing a new RTO policy (Study 1), we find broad support for our propositions. We further find higher office time does not automatically follow RTO policy implementation and that office time is unrelated to eudaimonic worker wellbeing. In our third study, interview data collected over 2 years from key stakeholders of the RTO implementation allows us to explore unresolved and new questions prompted by the two survey studies.
