HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN ORGANIZATIONAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT: CURRENT TRENDS AND FUTURE PROSPECTS

Publication: Chapter in book/Conference proceedingChapter in edited volume

Abstract

This chapter provides an added stimulus to recent efforts to bridge the separate literatures of Human Resource Management (HRM) and organizational project management (OPM). We discuss findings from recent research and identify key themes including a distinction in the literature regarding HRM at the project level and at the broader organizational level, and the multi-actor nature of HRM in project-based organizations. We examine how these themes are currently researched, the theories used to study them, and the current gaps in our knowledge. We draw out these themes and offer a research agenda for how to go forward and deepen knowledge and insights on this important area of project management and HRM research.
