Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore developments from 2008–2017 regarding the intellectual structure of human resource management (HRM) and its subfields: international HRM (IHRM) , strategic HRM (SHRM) , and strategic IHRM (SIHRM). Critical journals, publications, countries, and keywords related to these topics were identified. The historical method combined with citation, geographical, keyword, and tag cloud analyses were used to analyze and compare the fields of HRM, IHRM, SHRM, and SIHRM. This study analyzed 5,741 articles, which further cited 397,606 publications as references, on HRM published in Science Citation Index and Social Sciences Citation Index journals. The intellectual structure of these fields was mapped according to the analysis results.
