Abstract

PurposeDespite enormous literature on Human Resource Management (HRM) practices in the context of Mergers and Acquisitions (M&As), researchers have not come up with a synthesis that integrates the role and importance of HRM practices during M&As. This study aims to identify, analyse and synthesise existing literature to discover associated HRM practices that facilitate organisational change during M&As.Design/methodology/approachBibliometric analysis is performed using 473 research articles entailing 871 authors from 62 countries (published in Scopus and WoS listed journals), followed by a thematic cluster analysis using bibliographic coupling. The analysis is performed using different means as citation analysis, cluster analysis and keyword analysis to reveal the most significant publications, authors, keywords, trends and future research questions.FindingsThe results are primarily descriptive and aim at capturing a panoramic view of what was already written on the topic so far. The bibliometric analysis is conducted using different means like citation analysis, cluster analysis and keyword analysis to reveal the most significant publications, notable authors, keywords, current research trends and future research questions. Further, the bibliographic coupling analysis led to the identification of the following six clusters: (1) coping strategies during and post-M&As; (2) changes in individual and organisational identification during and post-M&As; (3) role of cultural and transformational leadership in M&As success; (4) HRM practices to develop employee capabilities post-M&As; (5) case studies and success stories of M&As; and (6) organisational readiness for M&As.Practical implicationsThis study has theoretical and practical implications and suggests future research directions. The authors also propose an abstruse model for HRM practices during M&A process for further investigation.Originality/valueThis is the first bibliometric study to explore the vast extant literature in M&A research related to the role of HRM practices in the execution of successful M&As.

在并购中利用人力资源管理实践:文献计量分析和未来研究议程
尽管关于人力资源管理(HRM)实践在并购(M&As)背景下的大量文献,研究人员还没有提出一个综合整合人力资源管理实践在并购中的作用和重要性。本研究旨在识别、分析和综合现有文献,以发现在并购期间促进组织变革的相关人力资源管理实践。设计/方法/方法文献计量分析使用来自62个国家的871位作者的473篇研究论文(发表在Scopus和WoS列出的期刊上),然后使用书目耦合进行专题聚类分析。通过引文分析、聚类分析和关键字分析等不同的手段进行分析,揭示最重要的出版物、作者、关键字、趋势和未来的研究问题。结果主要是描述性的,目的是捕捉到目前为止已经写过的关于这个主题的全景视图。文献计量分析采用引文分析、聚类分析、关键词分析等不同手段,揭示最重要的出版物、著名作者、关键词、当前的研究趋势和未来的研究问题。此外,文献耦合分析还发现了以下6类集群:(1)并购期间和并购后的应对策略;(2)并购期间和并购后个人和组织认同的变化;(3)文化和变革型领导在并购成功中的作用;(4)人力资源管理实践,培养并购后员工的能力;(5)并购案例分析和成功案例;(6)并购的组织准备情况。实践意义本研究具有理论和实践意义,并对未来的研究方向提出了建议。作者还提出了并购过程中人力资源管理实践的深奥模型,以供进一步研究。原创性/价值这是第一个文献计量学研究,探索与人力资源管理实践在成功的并购执行中的作用有关的并购研究中的大量现有文献。

期刊介绍: Benchmarking is big news for companies committed to total quality programmes. Its enthusiastic reception by many prominent business figures has created high levels of interest in a technique which promises big rewards for co-operating partners. Yet, like total quality itself, it must be understood in its proper context, and implemented single mindedly if it is to be effective - this journal helps companies to decide if benchmarking is right for them, and shows them how to go about it successfully.
