Continuous changes in technology, economic, social and psychological understandings and
structures have influence on both Human Resources and their management. Organizations
approach their human capital in a more sensitive way in order to win the loyalty and commitment
of them, while increasing profit and maximizing the efficiency/effectiveness of its work power.
Human Resources Management helps achieving these goals by recruiting, training, developing,
motivating and rewarding employees. Therefore, the identification of current research interests is
essential to lead them in defining organizational human resources strategies.
The main purpose of this research is to identify top rated factors related to Human Resource
Management by analyzing all the abstracts of the published papers in a Human Resource
Management journal from the beginning of 2005 till the end of 2012. As a result of analyzing the
keywords of all abstracts, the frequencies of the keyword categories are identified. Except the
keywords related to Human Resources (17.6%), it is observed that the studies for the period
consider the following: Employee rights and their career (18.3%), management (14.6%), contextual
issues (10%), organizational strategies (9.5%), performance measurement and training (9.5%),
behavioral issues and employee motivation (5.7), organizational culture (5.4%), technical issues
(4.1%), etc. It should be noted that the researchers (a) mainly stress on practice more than theory
and (b) consider the organization less than the individual. Interestingly, employee motivation is
found to be less considered by the researchers. This study is believed to be useful for future studies
and the industry by identifying the hot and top rated factors related to Human Resource
Management.
