Abstract
PurposeThe article seeks to demonstrate the benefits of using an integrative approach between human resource management (HRM) and knowledge management (KM), where one reinforces and supports the other in enhancing organisational effectiveness and performance.Design/methodology/approachThis contribution is a collection of research articles that explore how HRM and KM are interrelated and provide empirical support for such connection.FindingsThe authors firmly believe that the articles of this issue will not only provide for interesting and worthwhile reading material, but also set the stage for enlarging and enriching the research base on the relationship between HRM and KM.Research limitations/implicationsIt is not an exhaustive analysis of the connections between HRM and KM; however, it is a very good first step in that direction. Even though HRM and KM have much in common, there are few studies that make such a connection explicit.Practical implicationsThe article provides a very useful source of information and practical advice on how the connection between the two disciplines can enhance organisational functioning.Originality/valueThis special issue fulfils a gap in the existing literature for both academics and practitioners on the merits of using HRM and KM integratively.
