Personnel Review: A Journal of People, Work, and Organisations (PR) publishes rigorous, well written articles from a range of theoretical and methodological traditions.
Aims and scope
Personnel Review: A Journal of People, Work, and Organisations (PR) values articles that have high originality and that engage with contemporary challenges to human resource management theory, policy and practice development. Research that highlights innovation and emerging issues in the field, and the medium- to long-term impact of HRM policy and practice, is especially welcome.

All articles are initially screened by our team of associate editors for blind peer reviewing.

Our journal publishes articles drawn broadly, but not exclusively, from the following areas:

Employee and Industrial relations
HRM policy and practice
Labor market analysis
Impact of gender, ethnicity, faith, disability and other areas of ‘traditional disadvantage’ on HRM policy and practice
Line management delivery of HRM
Employee experience and insights into HRM policy and practice
Interim and sub-contracted provision of HRM
International aspects of HRM, including developing and emerging economies
Mobilisation and migration
Under-researched contexts and countries
New theories of HRM, including the application of social science and management science thinking and empirical investigations to new theorizing
PR is also seeking submissions of research related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, in particular, research that has a specific, actionable connection to challenges and opportunities in practice. The SDGs most aligned with the journal’s topical coverage suggested above are SDG 3 (good health and well-being), SDG 5 (gender equality), SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth) and SDG 10 (reduced inequalities).
