Description of the research topic:

Traditionally human resource management literature examines human resource (HR) issues (as selection, performance appraisal, compensation, human resource development, etc.) in the case of large, generally multinational corporations: as Iles and Yolles (2004) point out, research efforts are oriented towards atypical (large) organizations, not typical small ones. As Nolan and Garavan (2015) concludes that although human resource management (HRM) in SMEs has received significant attention at policy level and in the popular press, the empirical research remains modest, the existing literature is fragmented and of mixed quality. The objective of this research is to fill this gap.



Some of the potential research questions could be:

What kind of factors influence the formal and informal HRM practices of the SME-s?

What kind of industrial patterns (of any) can be identified connected to the human resource development (HRD) practice of SME-s?

How can we connect life cycle theories and HRM practices of small firms?
