Abstract

This issue features a Special Issue by Dr Elsa Underhill (Deakin, Australia), Associate Professor Betsy Blunsdon (ACSPRI, Australia) and Dr Nicola McNeil (La Trobe, Australia) on human resource management climate. Drawing together preliminary research from Canada, Australia and Turkey, the Special Issue papers begin to examine whether there are universal dimensions of human resource management (HRM) climate or whether the dimensions are specific and linked to contextual differences. This is a welcomed Special Issue given the importance and need for greater comparative HRM research, particularly on climates. We also have three standard issue papers that examine contemporary HR challenges including the impact of job demands on the health of workers, organisational support mechanisms for effective expatriate adjustment, and the role of work–family enrichment to enhance work engagement. The health and well‐being of their workforce is paramount for organisations.
