EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT


Thematic Issue on:

"Employer Duty of Care – The Role of HRM in Managing Talent in Dangerous Locations"

 

Guest Editors

Lisbeth Claus, Willamette University, USA and Yvonne McNulty, Singapore

 

This thematic issue will focus on duty of care or the obligation of employers to protect the health, safety, security and well-being of employees. (See here for the link to EJIM: http://www.inderscience.com/info/ingeneral/cfp.php?id=2237.

 

As a result of globalisation, organisations (whether for-profit, non-profit or governmental) have talent deployed all over the world as locals, international assignees or business travellers. This exposes the workforce to greater environmental risks that need to be mitigated and managed.

 

So far, contributions to the field of ‘employer duty of care’ have come mainly from outside of HR. With this issue, our intention is to integrate the various interdisciplinary contributions on this topic with the broader fields of talent management and global mobility.

 

Papers in this issue will cover the whole spectrum of duty of care issues as outlined below. We welcome conceptual, empirical (quantitative and qualitative) and case study research.
