There is a strong focus on the psychological well-being of employees, examining the interplay between job resources, demands, and overall satisfaction, particularly in the context of emerging work environments such as remote work. - Leadership and Organizational Culture:
Research frequently addresses the role of leadership styles and organizational culture in shaping employee experiences and organizational outcomes, with particular attention to authentic and transformational leadership. - Inclusivity and Diversity:

The journal investigates how global events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, influence HRM practices and employee experiences, highlighting adaptive strategies employed by organizations.
Trending and Emerging
- Remote Work and Flexibility:
With the rise of remote work due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a growing body of research focusing on the implications of job autonomy and employee well-being in remote settings, indicating a significant trend towards flexible work arrangements. - Agile HR Practices:
The concept of 'Agile HR' is emerging as a critical theme, with research exploring how agile methodologies can enhance HR practices, enabling organizations to adapt quickly to changing circumstances. - Mental Health and Employee Support:
There is an increasing emphasis on mental health and the role of social support in the workplace, reflecting a broader recognition of the importance of psychological safety and well-being in enhancing employee performance. - Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives:

The journal is also seeing a rise in interest in sustainable HRM practices, particularly in the context of green behaviors and corporate social responsibility, reflecting a growing awareness of environmental issues within HRM.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional HRM Models:
There appears to be a decline in research focused on traditional HRM models and practices that do not consider the unique cultural and economic factors of South Asia, as the journal increasingly emphasizes context-specific approaches. - Generalized Employee Engagement Strategies:
Research on broad, generalized strategies for employee engagement seems to be waning, giving way to studies that examine specific factors influencing engagement in diverse contexts. - Focus on Established Industries:
There is a noticeable reduction in studies focused on established industries, such as manufacturing, as newer sectors like IT and gig economy practices gain more attention. - Non-contextualized Comparisons:
The journal appears to be moving away from studies that draw comparisons between South Asian HRM practices and those in Western contexts, favoring more localized and contextually relevant research.
