The next two articles focus on specific issues/problems that are fundamental to the evolution of our field. Nkomo and Hoobler
(2014-in this issue) explain the shift in HRM with respect to our societal and thus organizational ideologies regarding “diversity”.
As a nation, we've evolved from a “white supremacy” view of diversity that characterized the early 20th century to an “inclusion”
orientation that emerged in the early 21st century. Gowan (2014-in this issue) focuses on the history of unemployment research
and how we, as a field, have evolved from a job-loss research focus to a stress focus to, more recently, a career growth focus.
The last article is relevant to our current reincarnation as a “strategic partner” in organizations today. Sikora & Ferris (2014-in this
issue) propose that the real issue facing strategic HRM is HR implementation. Using social context factors, they explain how the
success of HRM is not a matter of “strategy” but rather a focus on the line managers responsible for implementing those HR strategies.
Notably this article focuses on the current challenges facing the field, which is a nice segue for the second volume of our special issue
which will focus more so on HRM in terms of the present and future. It is our hope that these special issues will foster additional
research on the fundamentals of HRM and lead to a better understanding of the significance and contributions of the field as a whole
