This anthology on Human Resource Management is the result of collaborative scholarly efforts by distinguished academicians, researchers, and industry experts who have contributed their expertise to present a comprehensive and contemporary perspective on the evolving field of HRM. Each chapter in this volume is authored by a different contributor, bringing diverse viewpoints, research orientations, and practical insights to the subject.

Human Resource Management has undergone significant transformation from traditional personnel administration to a strategic and technology-driven function central to organizational success. Influenced by the foundational ideas of thinkers such as Peter Drucker and later expanded by HR scholars like Dave Ulrich, the discipline now integrates strategy, analytics, sustainability, governance, and innovation. This book reflects that evolution by covering both classical HR domains and emerging dimensions such as Digital HR, Sustainable HRM, HR Risk Management, Gig Economy practices, HR Governance, and People Analytics.

As an edited volume, this anthology offers multiple academic lenses and methodological approaches. The diversity of authors enriches the content, ensuring depth, relevance, and multidimensional analysis. While each chapter stands independently with its own scholarly contribution, collectively they present a cohesive and structured understanding of modern HRM.
