Abstract

In this
study, the intellectual structure of the field of human resources management
(HRM) has been investigated and new theoretical foundations and research trends
that will contribute to the development of the field have been proposed.
Content analysis was used in the research and a longitudinal analysis was
performed. The results show that sociology-based organizational theories further
affected the field in the 1990s. In the 2000s, it was determined that the
dominant theories in the field were human capital theory from economy
discipline, social exchange theory from sociology discipline, and resource
based view from strategic management discipline. In the 2010s, human capital
theory from economy discipline, social capital theory from sociology
discipline, and resource based view from strategic management discipline had
widespread effects in the field. Finally, strategic human resource management
(SHRM), outcomes and human resources practices were determined as the research
trends that have been most effective on the field from the 1990s to the
present. However, the context research trend was less effective in the field
compared to other research trends. As a result, it can be stated that future researches
that want to contribute to the field of human resources management can benefit
from theory of the growth of the firm, Austrian school of economics, strategy
as a practice and new institutional economies. In addition, research trends in the future of the
field could be stated as the effects of industry 4.0, e-HRM, and artificial
intelligence studies on human resource management.

İNSAN KAYNAKLARI YÖNETİMİNİN ENTELEKTÜEL YAPISI ÜZERİNE BOYLAMSAL BİR ANALİZ: TEORİK TEMELLER VE ARAŞTIRMA EĞİLİMLERİ

Abstract

Bu çalışmada insan kaynakları yönetimi alanının entelektüel yapısı
araştırılarak, alanın gelişimine katkı sağlayacak yeni teorik temeller ve
araştırma eğilimleri önerilmiştir. Araştırmada içerik analizinden faydalanılmış ve boylamsal bir analiz
gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bulgular, 1990’lı yıllarda sosyoloji temelli örgüt
teorilerinin alanı daha fazla etkilediğini göstermektedir. 2000’li yıllarda
alandaki hâkim teoriler ekonomi disiplininden insan sermayesi teorisi,
sosyoloji disiplininden sosyal değişim teorisi ve stratejik yönetim
disiplininden kaynaklara dayalı yaklaşım olarak tespit edilmiştir. 2010’lu
yıllarda ise ekonomi disiplininden insan sermayesi teorisi, sosyoloji
disiplininden sosyal sermaye teorisi ve stratejik yönetim disiplininden kaynaklara
dayalı yaklaşımın alanda yaygın etkileri olduğu bulunmuştur. Son olarak stratejik
insan kaynakları yönetimi, çıktılar (outcomes) ve insan kaynakları uygulamaları
1990’lı yıllardan günümüze alana en fazla hakim olan araştırma trendleri olarak
tespit edilmiştir. Ancak bağlama (context) yönelik araştırmaların ise diğer
araştırma trendlerine göre alandaki etkisinin sınırlı olduğu bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Sonuç olarak insan
kaynakları yönetimi alanına katkı sağlamak isteyen gelecekteki araştırmaların firmanın büyüme teorisi,
Avusturyan ekonomi okulu, uygulama olarak strateji çalışmaları ve yeni kurumsal
ekonomilerden yararlanabileceği ifade edilebilir. Ayrıca alanın gelecekte yönelebileceği araştırma
trendlerinin, endüstri 4.0, e-HRM ve yapay zeka çalışmalarının insan kaynakları
yönetimi üzerindeki etkileri olacağı belirtilebilir.
