Evidence-based HRM

Aims & Scope

Evidence Based HRM (EBHRM) promotes empirical scholarship in the HR arena and aims to provide an international forum and important reference for the encouragement and dissemination of applied research.

The journal is committed to publishing scholarly empirical research articles that have a high impact on the HR field as a whole.

To this end, it publishes high quality papers using econometric and statistical methods to fill the gap between conceptual arguments and observed data.

The objective of the journal is to disentangle empirically how talent drives the performance of employees, their organisations and ultimately society as a whole.

Evidence-based management of human resources thus applies scientific standards of observation, proof and causality to demonstrate how intangible human capital can be identified and shown to add tangible individual, business and societal benefits.

Beyond strengthening empirical insights and advancing a coherent body of knowledge, our editorial policy also encourages referees to assess the practical relevance of contributions for practitioners and policy makers.

EBHRM has an exclusive focus on empirical, evidence-based research into the field of human resource management and emphasizes the importance of applied and statistical methods when analysing human resource management.

It has a broad scope encouraging articles from a wide range of academic disciplines and fields giving it a unique reach across the academic world.

The journal also has an international reach within the HR arena publishing research which allows organisations to learn from best practice and benchmark themselves against the performance of international competitors in a global business environment.
