Theme and Research Questions
The themes, research questions, and frameworks of the 15 papers varied, but they had in common that they all examined the perceptual and attributional variables concerning HRM. Even when HRM practices seem to be central in the article, authors were mainly focusing on the perceptions that employees hold about such practices. This indicates that the process view of HRM currently is strongly built on the intermediate and/or direct role of employees' attributions and perceptions of their organizations. Organizational climate seemed to be a dominant topic (present in four articles), as well as the link with performance (four articles). Concerning the settings and frameworks, expatriation an multinational corporations captured some interest (three papers), but the empirical papers addressed a range of settings, including small, medium-size, and large Corporations.
