Procedure for submitting extended abstracts

Deadline for abstract submissions: February 2, 2026

Submissions are invited for extended abstracts with the understanding that a full paper will be produced for the actual conference. Extended abstracts (in English) should be 750–1,000 words (as per Academy of Management Journal submission style) and should contain:

  • an outline description of the theoretical framework and concepts
  • the research design and approach to data analysis (where applicable)
  • the key findings, along with their theoretical and practical significance

Please note that your abstract should clearly relate to the International HRM theme of the conference, demonstrating the international element of your paper.

All submissions must be original and should not have been previously accepted for publication in a journal, or presented at another conference. All abstracts will be blind reviewed. Papers presented at the conference will be collated in the unpublished conference proceedings made available to all participants
