SOME OF OUR LATEST NEWS:
HRM group @ HUMAN RESOURCE Management
The article “Effective communication for relational coordination in remote work: How job characteristics and HR practices shape user-technology interactions” by Christina Fuchs and Astrid Reichel is now published in a Special Issue of the journal Human Resource Management (HRM; ABS 4, ABDC A*). This paper investigates how companies can promote effective digital communication and coordination between teleworking employees through targeted interventions and what role job design plays in this context. With our findings we show that it is important to involve HRM from the outset so that, in close cooperation with IT, a system can be found that—supported by suitable sets of rules—enables effective communication.
You can find the article as open-access here.

Briscoe (USA), Martina Gianecchini (I), Pamela Suzanne (AR), and Mami Taniguchi (JP) shows that social policies aiming at enabling gender equality can actually have opposite effects.
