Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the postgraduate thesis studies conducted between 1999 and 2023 and to reveal how the strategic human resources accumulation in Türkiye is portrayed. The thesis centre of the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) was used to determine the sample. The theses registered in the YÖK Thesis Centre database were scanned by selecting "thesis name" and typing "Strategic Human Resources Management" and 60 (sixty) theses were identified in the Department of Business Administration. Of these, 57 (fifty-seven) theses were reached and the study was conducted on the data of these 57 theses (38 master's and 19 doctoral). By analysing Özen's (2000) study, four main study titles were determined and the values obtained through them were taken as basis. The studies conducted on strategic human resources management in the context of thesis were evaluated methodologically and discussed in terms of philosophy of science and methodological context through three tables.
