Multiple job holding (MJH) or holding more than one job along with a primary job, though not a new phenomenon, has witnessed renewed interest due to recent trends within the changing career systems. Studies on MJH, so far, have (over)emphasized the individual motivations to hold multiple jobs while largely understating the role of contextual influences including the institutional settings, legal regulations, economic cycles, technological changes, and organizational contracts. The present study, employing the career ecosystem theoretical lens, systematically reviews and identifies the range of factors operating at the individual, occupational, organizational, and environmental levels influencing MJH. Further, the top-down and bottom-up influences on MJH across these various levels are delineated. By embedding the individual multiple job holders within the wider ecosystem of interrelated stakeholders, the study highlights the complex interplay of factors influencing MJH. Implications for practice and suggestions for future research around multi-level antecedents of MJH are discussed.

In this meta-analysis, we examine the relationship between fear and the three facets of work performance, namely task performance, organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), and counterproductive work behavior (CWB). We integrated the disparate literature by establishing a unifying theoretical framework informed by the resource-based perspective. Results showed that fear is negatively related to task performance and OCB, and positively related to CWB. In addition, the negative relationship between fear and OCB is stronger for OCBs directed toward the organization (OCB-O) than OCBs directed toward individuals (OCB-I). The positive relationship between fear and CWB is stronger in male dominated samples and countries with high religiosity. Furthermore, stress mediated the effects of fear on task performance, OCB, and CWB. We note the theoretical and practical implications in light of the study findings, and discuss study limitations and future research needs.

Bystander intervention has attracted recent attention as a promising avenue to improve workplace inclusion. However, despite substantial human resource management investment and increasing research interest in workplace bystander intervention, there has been no evidence synthesising the link between bystander action and consequences for the parties involved. This interdisciplinary scoping review (85 articles) addresses this gap by reviewing and categorising types of bystander actions in the workplace in response to different problematic incidents, highlighting the consequences of those actions for targets, perpetrators and bystanders, and illustrating the theoretical underpinning of extant literature. The findings indicate that consequences of bystander actions, particularly those related to inclusion, are not widely measured or understood. Positive consequences for targets are evident, however few positive consequences are described for bystanders and outcomes for perpetrators remain unknown. We offer suggestions for future research to advance understanding of the relationship between bystander intervention and workplace inclusion.

Building upon the HR architecture model, we propose a framework that explains how – within an alliance project between two firms – HRM systems (composed of various HRM practices) shape inter-organizational knowledge transfer. Such projects may involve intergroup bias, i.e., employees may particularly favor and value members of their own firm, which may impede inter-organizational knowledge transfer. Given the intergroup dynamics, we argue that social identity is a key mediator underlying the relationship between HRM systems and knowledge transfer. We discuss how each firm's HRM system(s) independently and jointly affect employees' social identity, stressing the importance of an HRM fit within and between both companies. Finally, we propose a factor – shared other identities – that may moderate the HRM systems and social identity relationship and also shape social identity directly. Our model provides a nuanced view of how HRM systems can facilitate knowledge transfer by shaping employees' social identities in alliance projects.

In 2016, a special edition of Human Resource Management Review established a theoretical and empirical development framework to address the fundamental issue of convergence/divergence. An intriguing question raised by the review was whether one could cross the comparative human resource management (CHRM) stream with its international human resource management (IHRM) counterpart to theoretically and empirically benefit both. This paper addresses a similar topic, albeit looking outwards to the archetypal context-driven comparative public policy (CPP) discipline rather than inwards to two adjacent international and comparative streams. Centering on the standardization-convergence divide in IHRM and the practice-divergence conundrum in CHRM, the paper demonstrates how CPP's rich conceptual and methodological heritage can help overcome tensions in both streams while informing several meta-analytic review and future research suggestions.

This article examines the ethical implications of big data in human resource management (HRM) practices, specifically in the areas of recruitment and selection, training and development, performance management, compensation, and employee retention. The article commences with a characterization of big data applications in HRM processes and practices, highlighting their benefits and value for the management of the workforce. It also shows how the application of big data analytics can put employees at great risk through institutional surveillance and other algorithmic manipulation practices such as profiling, coercion and control. Our theorizing advances the HRM and ethics literatures by offering a more expanded and nuanced view of the significant ethical challenges specific to individual HR practices. Additionally, our analysis brings ethics into the domain of HRM by problematizing the exploitation of employee information through digital technology for corporate gain. In so doing, it employs a moral principles framework to show how BDA - HRM practices can compromise employees' rights to privacy, confidentiality, transparency, and protection. Our analysis also raises concerns shared by both the practitioner and scholarly communities that are yet to be addressed and offers recommendations for research and practice.

Employee mobility (EM) provides organizations with enhanced performance, value creation, innovation, and creativity. However, EM plays a frequently indicated but less emphasized role in an organization's knowledge. The existing body of EM research is characterized by diverse perspectives and contradictory findings, creating a significant gap in our understanding of how organizations can effectively access and leverage the critical knowledge carried by employees. This integrative review aims to bridge this gap by synthesizing diverse mobility perspectives, delving into theoretical underpinnings, and exploring the dynamics of knowledge flow. The review is guided by the two research questions: (1) How is EM conceptualized as a knowledge flow mechanism in the existing literature? and (2) What mechanisms can organizations employ to use EM as a knowledge development strategy? Through a comprehensive analysis, we present a framework encompassing seven strategies: knowledge dissemination, knowledge creation, knowledge combination, knowledge adoption, knowledge spill-in, knowledge retention, and knowledge protection. This framework contributes to the understanding that organizations can use internal mobility to disseminate embedded knowledge and create new knowledge. Inward mobility plays a crucial role in enabling organizations to combine (similar) knowledge and adopt specific knowledge from external sources. Interestingly, outward mobility, despite the loss of employees, serves as a mechanism of reverse knowledge flow. Additionally, organizations employ strategies to control outward mobility by retaining and protecting critical knowledge. Building on the identified strategies, the paper suggests promising avenues for further research, thereby paving the way for scholars and practitioners to consider EM as a knowledge development strategy.

Working in virtual teams is increasingly common, and the notion of team virtuality has received considerable academic attention. However, the definitions of team virtuality lack coherence, its theoretical integration is inadequate, and its effects on individual and team performance are not fully understood. To address these gaps, we systematically review the characteristics of team virtuality and its positive and negative effects based on various theoretical perspectives. Through this review, we find that no consensus is reached on the definition of team virtuality, and its dimensions are not fully identified. Moreover, we find that team virtuality positively influences individual and team performance through two mechanisms: resource and information, and motivation and ability. However, it also exerts negative effects through three mechanisms: cognition, emotion and relationship, and technology and media. Based on these findings, we propose several potential directions for future research: (1) integrate four characteristics of team virtuality by redefining its concept and dimensions based on process virtualization theory, (2) integrate the positive and negative effects of team virtuality using a resources conservation-based model, in which team virtuality positively and negatively affects individual and team performance through personal resource gain and personal resource loss, respectively, (3) integrate the different effects of team virtuality by exploring boundary conditions, and (4) integrate the dual effects by investigating the curvilinear relationship between team virtuality and its outcomes.

The gig economy provides a novel setting that challenges many established ways of working. This paper unpacks the nature of talent identification in the gig economy through the role of three central actors; the online labor platform firm, the requester/customer and the gig worker. Talent identification in this context is especially novel as it emerges from tripartite relationships among independent economic actors, in contrast to traditional settings where talent identification is studied from a dyadic perspective (i.e., talented workers and the organization). We decipher the heterogeneity across online labor platforms and their gig workforces through the practice of talent identification. We provide an agenda to guide future research on the inclusive versus exclusive nature of talent identification in the gig economy as well as on online labor platforms as independent, yet powerful players who identify talents themselves alongside shaping talent identification processes between workers and hiring organizations. Accordingly, this paper extends the parameters of talent identification scholarship along with providing a different lens by which we examine work in the gig context.

Moral incongruence—a misalignment between professional role expectations and personal moral values—is an important phenomenon in modern organizations. Though scholarly work has provided us with insights into broad forms of role incongruence, much less is known about the distinct characteristics of moral incongruence. Moreover, we lack understanding of how moral incongruence may shape employee attitudes and behaviors. Drawing on deonance theory and socio-cognitive theory, we develop a model explaining the role of moral incongruence in promoting employee prohibitive voice, withdrawal, and unethical role behavior through the mechanisms of moral outrage and moral disengagement. Examining potential boundary conditions, we also consider the roles of moral identity, self-interest, moral intensity, unethical climate, ethical leadership, and organizational identification. Given the ethical implications of moral incongruence and the significance of the phenomenon for organizations, this work has implications for both theory and practice.
