Scaling Up: Exploring the Role of Human Resource Management in Exponential Growth Contexts

细分领域

The Impact of Scaling on HRM: How does scaling affect key HR domains such as job design, recruitment, new employee socialization, compensation and benefits, performance management, training and careers? How to effectively design these key HR domains towards scaling? What skills and capabilities are essential for scaling and how do firms acquire, motivate and retain them? How are HR competencies different and/or the same within the scaling process? What accommodations does HRM theory need to make in exploring the scaling phenomenon?

Scaling Organizational Design: How are people’s efforts effectively coordinated when scaling (e.g., through moving from informal to more formal approaches, via firm culture)? What is the role of HR in setting up practices for executive transition, succession and leadership development? What are the configurations of HR likely to enable and/or constrain the process of scaling? What are the potential downsides of scaling, especially with respect to firm structure and performance management?

HRM, Scaling, and Technology: What is the role of digitizing HR infrastructures, analytics, and platforms, including generative AI? How does HR digitization affect recruitment/talent acquisition pace and timing?

Entrepreneurial Context: How does industry or sector (e.g., deeptech, ICT, manufacturing, private, social enterprise etc.), business model, ecosystem, and/or geographic location influence the speed and timing of HR scaling initiatives? How can the interaction between the institutional context, founders/managers and employees affect the mode and speed of scaling?

Employee Experiences of Scaling: Why do employees choose to work in firms that are scaling? What are the implications of the scaling context in terms of ability, motivation, and opportunity to perform (AMO)? What HRM interventions facilitate employees in navigating the ‘liability of volatility’ especially with respect to role clarity, work intensification, and well-being?
