Current Human Resources (CHR) is an international open-access journal that publishes scholarly articles on all aspects of human resources studies, including but not limited to workforce development, employee well-being and engagement, organizational strategy, policy and legal frameworks, and technology and innovation in human resources.
The journal seeks to make substantive contributions to the practice and research covering contemporary issues through rigorous research and well-grounded conclusions with practical implications. It values innovative approaches that advance understanding while maintaining methodological rigor, including efforts to mitigate biases in cross-sectional or single-source data. Articles that appeal to an international readership or critically review existing theory and practice to highlight areas for further development are especially encouraged.
