SOME OF OUR LATEST NEWS:
HRM group @ Personalwirtschaft
Our colleague, Levent Yilmaz, was recently interviewed on a current topic in the field of human resource management: “How realistic are the salary ranges on platforms like Stepstone, Xing, and Indeed?” The article highlights that the salary ranges listed on job portals are often based on machine learning algorithms and voluntary information provided by employees.
However, these automatically generated values don’t always reflect actual market conditions and can therefore lead to unrealistic expectations among job seekers. In the interview, Dr. Yilmaz explains why such salary information is a double-edged sword for employers and what HR departments can do to address these challenges constructively.

HRM group @ Research in Social Issues in Management
At the end of October 2025, Emerald published the book “International Perspectives of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” in its “Research in Social Issues in Management” series. Editors Eden King, Quinetta Roberson, and Mikki Hebl invited researchers they consider central to the field of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DIE) and management to reflect on important future research areas.
Astrid Reichel, together with Janine Bosak (Dublin City University), contributed an article entitled “ A Tale of Parenthood, Social Policies, and Organizational Decision-Makers.” In it, they outline the importance of the impact of social policy on organizations. Although the target groups of social policy measures are generally citizens or families, these measures also influence the decisions of organizations—which, in turn, act as gatekeepers for the careers of working individuals and thus shape equal opportunities in the workplace.

HRM group @ Applied Economics
Levent Yilmaz has published a new study in Applied Economics titled “Do positional concerns trigger entrepreneurial decisions? – Evidence from survey experiments.” The study explores how social comparison and the pursuit of status shape individuals’ entrepreneurial intentions. Findings reveal that people who place greater importance on income and luxury goods such as cars or house are significantly more likely to plan starting their own business. These results suggest that social status and the need for recognition may be stronger motivations for entrepreneurship than previously thought.

HRM group @ AoM Annual Meeting 2025
The HRM group was participating at this year’s Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management, which took place from 25-29 July in Copenhagen – Astrid Reichel, Dominik Zellhofer and Isabella Scheibmayr were directly on site. The annual meeting is the conference of superlatives – 13,400 participants from all continents presented current research findings in 3,936 sessions. For the first time, “the Academy” took place in Europe. The complete programme can be viewed HERE.
The programme kicked off on Friday morning with Astrid Reichel, who used her experience as associate editor of the International Journal of HRM and as a member of the editorial board of Human Resource Management to give young researchers feedback on their research projects in the HR Division‘s Professional Development Workshop ‘Publishing in Top-Tier US Journals for Non-US Scholars’.
This was followed by the PDW “Navigating International Careers: Experience and Advice from HR Division Ambassadors”, organized by Astrid Reichel as part of her role as HR Division Ambassador and sponsored by the Human Resources, Careers, International Management, and Organizational Behavior. Together with other panelists, she presented the academic career paths of various countries and answered questions from academics at all career levels.
On Friday afternoon, Isabella Scheibmayr presented a study on the effects of orchestra competitions as canonization on the careers of Austrian composers in the poster session of the Careers division. The poster had the melodious title “ Composing a career – The influence of canonization on the careers of contemporary Austrian composers”.
On Saturday, Astrid Reichel participated as an expert and mentor in the paper development workshop “Careers in the Rough”, where research proposals are reviewed by experienced career researchers. The session was sponsored by the Divisions Careers, Organizational Behavior, and Human Resources and was a DIG highlight of the conference.
On Monday afternoon, Isabella Scheibmayr presented the study “Exploring the role of dynamic partnership capabilities in blood donation behavior” in the paper session Collaborative Governance and Stakeholder Engagement for Societal Impact of the Division Social Issues in Management. Partial results of the project were recently published in the journal International Review on Public and Nonprofit Marketing.
On Tuesday at lunchtime, Sabine Bösl (University of Innsbruck) presented the study “Revisiting sociomateriality: leveraging conventions to advance e-HRM research” in the Session ‚Evolution and Impact of Digital Technologies: Pay Systems, AI, and Sociomateriality‘, organized by the Division Communication, Digital Technology, and Organization, co-authored with Marilyn Poon.
On Tuesday afternoon, the symposium “Behavioral effects of Algorithmic HRM” took place, which was sponsored by the Divisions of Human Resources, Communication, Digital Technology, and Organization, and Managerial and Organizational Cognition and which was awarded as a Showcase Symposium.
Astrid Reichel moderated the panel. The panelists were Andy Charlwood (University of Leeds), Felix Diefenhardt (WU Vienna), Mohammad Hossein Jarrahi (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill), Laura Lamers (University of Twente), Simon Schafheitle (University of Twente), and Isabella Scheibmayr (University of Salzburg). The panel discussed the state of research in the relatively young field of “algorithmic HRM” and its future development.
Beyond the HRM group, the Department of Business Administration was also represented by Lena Leifeld and Simon Oertel (Strategic Management and Organization).

HRM group @ personalmanager
In the practitioners’ journal Personalmanager (issue 4, 2025), focusing on “Future HR”, Astrid Reichel, together with Wolfgang Mayrhofer and Marco Rapp, explored how HR tasks are divided between the HR department, external providers, and line management within organizations. Interestingly, outsourcing and devolvement do not replace internal HR in HR departments, but rather complement them. Organizations tend to either engage in a high volume of HR work (both internal and external) or a lower volume overall.

HRM group @ HR and Employment Workshop Vienna
In a recent workshop co-hosted by the Paris Lodron University of Salzburg and the Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU Vienna), our very own Prof. Astrid Reichel opened the event with introductory remarks on the themeHR Analytics and Employee Voice. The workshop brought together diverse perspectives from across the field of human resource management, highlighting how the concept of “employee voice” varies widely depending on disciplinary lenses. From the Human Resource Management perspective, employee voice is seen as a vital contributor to enhancing organizational performance. In Organizational Behavior, however, it is often regarded as an informal, prosocial behavior—valuable but not systematically integrated. Meanwhile, Employment Relations scholars emphasize voice as a democratic right, especially in the context of collective representation and conflicting interests. This workshop created a space for these viewpoints to converge and engage with current challenges in HRM practice and research.
From our team, Isabella Scheibmayr presented her co-authored research with Astrid Reicheland Christina Fuchs titled “Performance Effects of Employees Participating in Algorithm Design for Their Own Evaluation”. Their study explores how employee autonomy is affected when involved in designing algorithmic evaluation systems, distinguishing the impact across three types of tasks. Marilyn Poon had the opportunity to share insights from an early-stage project, “A Correspondence View of Employment Relations: Contractors’ Trajectories in the European Automotive Industry”. This research investigates fairness in contract work and explores whether HR or people analytics can help address the structural inequalities inherent in such employment arrangements.
A highlight of the event was the keynote by Helene Baumgartner, Expert at the Office for Digital Affairs at the Vienna Chamber of Labor (AK Wien). Her talk addressed how digitalization—particularly AI—is reshaping work environments, highlighting growing concerns about precarity and employee well-being in the face of rapid technological change.
Following the keynote, Helene Baumgartner joined a distinguished panel featuring:
- Astrid Reichel, Full Professor, Head of the HRM Research Group at the University of Salzburg
- Marco Rapp, Assistant Professor of Digital Citizenship & People Analytics, University of Amsterdam / Postdoctoral Researcher, Aalto School of Business
- Gabriel Tomic, Global HR Business Partner Global Finance & Global Lead Talent, Julius Meinl Coffee Group
Overall, the workshop successfully bridged academic insights and practical concerns, making a valuable contribution to the ongoing dialogue about HR analytics, employee voice, and the future of work.

A paper by Isabella Scheibmayr in cooperation with Clotilde Coron (Université Paris-Saclay) and Pierre Lescoat (NEOMA Business School) has just been published online in New Technology, Work and Employment.
The paper called “How to do HRM with numbers? A performative lens on HR metrics, HR analytics and HR algorithms” analyzes HRM quantification artefacts, such as algorithmic HRM, with a performative lens using Austin’s speech act theory. The study uses six cases from a large French-based telecommunications organization and finds that especially algorithmic HRM projects (compared to HR analytics) use illocutionary quantification acts to bring performative effects into being.
