Blockchain technology could be extended to benefit human resource (HR) practices. With the lack of definitions and best practices in the literature on the applicability of blockchain in HR, there is a need to define the terms related to blockchain technology and its possible applications in HR. In addition, it is also important to address the downside and dark side of adopting blockchain in HR practices. This chapter aims to review the developing literature on blockchain technology, relate concepts to HR practices, present a model for applying blockchain technology in transforming HR practices, and explain the limitations and disadvantages of using blockchain technology in HR management. The chapter also contains two cases that illustrate the applicability issues of blockchain technology based upon the USA's credit score systems and Turkey's e-government application.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide an introduction to the special issue on public service motivation (PSM) and human resource management (HRM). The authors analyse and review how the literatures on HRM and PSM relate to each other. Design/methodology/approach – The paper combines two complementary studies: a bibliometric analysis of the interrelationships between the two literatures and a meta-analysis of the impact of HR practices on PSM. Findings – Although HRM is among the core subject categories to which the literature on PSM refers, the pre-eminence of HR topics self-reported by PSM researchers indicates large room for further transfer. Intrinsic HR practices show positive and significant effects on PSM, while no such association was found for extrinsic HR practices. Originality/value – The editorial is a complement to a recent bibliometric review of PSM research, focusing more particularly on the interrelationships with HRM and applying hitherto unused techniques. It is also the first meta-analysis of the association between HR practices and PSM.

The Impact

Questions of efficiency increase of human resource management are one of the most discussed by scientists of different countries in the last decades. This is due to many reasons and above all, the increasing human impact on the competitiveness of modern organizations, constantly changing external conditions of their functioning and the necessity of taking into account country and industry specifics. Effective management of human resources is one of the necessary conditions for the competitiveness of modern enterprises. The main tool of this management is program development of human resources. The article presents an overview of the key areas in the field of human resource development programs (HRD programs), the necessity of their agreement with the enterprise development strategy and consideration of influence on organizational effectiveness. The authors have presented a causal model of the relationship between human resource management (HRM) and labour performance and researched the procedure justifying the selection of HR practices. The article presents a cognitive map of the impact of human resources on the results of company operations. The analysis of cognitive map has allowed the researchers to reveal the structure of the problem (situation), to find the most significant factors affecting it and to carry out a reasonable choice of control actions to achieve objectives. The stages and tools for developing HRD programs on the basis of application of cognitive modelling are presented here. This fact has allowed us to evaluate the impact of HR practices on key indicators of organization performance at the design stage. In conclusion the authors have noted that it is necessary to consider the indirect effects of HR practices on the performance of organization and relationships between various aspects of human resources management . In this regard it seems appropriate to use wider application in the field of cognitive modeling and simulation. According to the authors this approach will accomplish the quantitative assessment of the impact of HR practices on organizational effectiveness at the stage of designing the programme of human resource development. At the same time it provides the possibility of"situational" factors accounting for a particular organization.

The Impact

Human resource (HR) practices used to inject internal competition into the workplace are the subject of heated debates in business practice; this is however not the case in the field of human resource management (HRM) research. In this article, we first augment previous research in the field to offer an initial conceptualization of competitive HR practices. We then develop a conceptual framework that explains the processes and conditions that drive and determine the impact of competitive HR practices on employees at work. Blending insights from social comparison theory and uncertainty research, we theorize a set of conditions that specify when competitive HR practices unfold their “dark” side, and when the “not so bad” or even “a good side” of competitive HR practices might emerge.
