Abstract

Human resources management as a sub-discipline of social science is concerned with both researching practice and building theory. It includes scientific (epistemological) and reality (ontological) perspective. It seems that the field of HRM has become an interesting subject of methodological research because of its scientific maturity. This article is an attempt to discuss the significance of reflexivity in the research process with particular emphasis on HRM research and to answer the questions: What does reflexivity mean? What are the reflexivity techniques? How are HRM researchers reflexive? This study is based on the content analysis of the most cited articles in the field of HRM. The findings show that the majority of authors use reflexivity techniques of methods, data interpretation and results. The future direction is outlined: more research reflexivity is required.
