One way to reconcile the two domains is to revisit the conceptual underpinnings of mainstream contemporary HRM scholarship and, in particular, this corpus' well-documented emergence from Alan Fox's conception of a unitarist frame of reference.

Findings confirmed our hypotheses: social identification mediated the relationship between HR strength and employee performance; social interaction with the line manager and social identification sequentially mediated the relationship between HR strength and employee performance; and the quality of relationships within the work team and social identification sequentially mediated HR strength and employee performance.

Utilizing data from 337 participants collected through a three-stage, time-lagged survey, this study investigates the impact of organizational AI adoption on employees' taking charge behavior through the lens of conservation of resources theory. The findings reveal that psychological availability mediates the influence of organizational AI adoption on employees' taking charge. Employee approach-avoidance motivation plays a moderating role in this relationship. Specifically, approach motivation amplifies the positive impact of organizational AI adoption on psychological availability, whereas avoidance motivation diminishes it.

The sorting effect promotes the redistribution of employee performance by increasing the retention of high performers and increasing the turnover of poor performers. However, little is known about the moderating effect of individual PFP on the relationship between collective turnover and firm performance. Integrating insights from collective turnover and compensation research, this study proposes that individual PFP's sorting effect can reduce the negative impact of collective turnover on firm performance under certain contexts. Using nationally representative panel data on Korean firms, this study found that individual PFP reduces the negative relationship between collective turnover and firm performance only in the absence of collective PFP. However, this research has also found that the simultaneous utilization of individual and collective PFPs exacerbates the negative impact of collective turnover on firm performance.

HR researchers view HR professionals as their primary end users and have prioritized the business case for strategic HR. But as line managers become more involved in delivering—and even designing—HR activities in their local work environments, there is a greater need for HR researchers to attend to operational HR (the nuts and bolts). This need is particularly pressing in Asia Pacific organizations, where small HR units rely on line managers to deliver people management in dynamic and turbulent work environments. The nuts-and-bolts problem takes several different forms and is visible across the HR literature (e.g., in literature discussing transfer of training, star performer management, and employee alumni relationships). At a minimum, HR researchers should write actionable practical recommendations that enable readers to find the relevant nuts and bolts scattered across the HR academic literature. Fully addressing the nuts-and-bolts problem might involve HR researchers co-designing research with managers and/or inviting managers to interpret research findings.

Drawing on the dual feedback loops of moral self-regulation, we challenge the prevailing assumption that engaging in EEGB is solely beneficial by identifying its potential dark side. Specifically, we propose that EEGB exerts double-edged effects on employee time theft, contingent on green behavior authenticity. An experimental study with 208 full-time employees and a two-phase field study with 412 full-time employees consistently revealed that EEGB aggravated employee time theft through accumulated moral credits, while conversely reducing time theft through strengthened moral identity. Moreover, we identified green behavior authenticity as a pivotal boundary condition moderating these opposing effects, attenuating the negative pathway while amplifying the positive pathway.

Data from 322 platform workers were analyzed to test the theoretical model. The results indicate the following: (1) Relative to the management practices of platform enterprises (i.e., human resource management practices), EUCR can generate incremental effects on platform workers' flexibility; (2) EUCR promotes career calling, which in turn, improves platform workers' flexibility; and (3) Customer gratitude expression strengthens the relationship between EUCR and career calling, leading to a higher level of flexibility.
