This chapter provides an overview of the current literature on human resource management outsourcing (HRO). Human resource management outsourcing involves contracting out activities traditionally performed by the organization’s human resource department to an outside organization. While HRO is a popular topic, there are few reliable sources on the extent to which organizations implement the approach. Further, research has indicated that the overall impact of HRO is not always straightforward, with studies suggesting small positive effects on company performance and mixed effects on outcomes related to the functioning of human resource departments. This chapter examines common theoretical foundations of HRO, the need to differentiate outsourcing of different types of human resource activities, factors influencing organizations’ decisions to outsource, and effects of these decisions. It presents empirical data from a comparative HRM study on the prevalence of outsourcing for insights into the contested question of how widespread HRO really is and suggests future directions for HRO research.

International human resource management has become a mature discipline in the last 30 years. As a sub-discipline of social sciences, international human resource management is characterised by paradigmatic divisions. The aim of this review article is to map the presence of three dominant social science paradigms in the field. Four major journals which publish relevant studies of international human resource management have been analysed in order to give an overview of the paradigmatic state of play. After investigating 1649 articles, it is evident that positivist studies prevail, whereas constructivist works are in a minority. Critical approaches to international human resource management are largely absent in these journals. This paper presents examples of each type of research and explains the decisive characteristics of each paradigm. Finally, future directions are outlined: (1) more paradigm reflexivity is required, (2) non-mainstream (namely, constructivist and even critical) research is needed, and (3) new paradigmatic directions are recommended. Newly introduced paradigms or multiparadigm studies should be undertaken.

Drawing from strategic human resource management and organizational theory, this article develops an integrated typology of employee governance. This typology is based on the dimensions of eliciting employees’ commitment to the organization (commitment-eliciting) and achieving employees’ compliance to rules (compliance-achieving), which yields four approaches to governing employees: disciplined governance, bonded governance, hybrid governance, and unstructured governance. Results from 337 firms show that the hybrid governance approach is linked with significantly higher organizational performance than alternative approaches in the Chinese context. In addition, both commitment-based practices and compliance-based practices are positively related to organizational performance, and their interaction produces additional positive effects.
