'The Editors have produced a tour de force on Middle Eastern human
resource management (HRM). They brought together a vast array of
regional and global experts to capture all that is worth knowing.
The book has an innovative contextual-country-thematic structure.
It sets the scene by laying out the cultural and societal issues
that shape HRM in the Middle East. There is detailed and
comparative coverage of eight of the major economies, followed by a
superb set of discussions of thematic issues that range from
localisation to expatriation, from public sector management to
privatisation, and from employee relations to talent management.' -
Paul Sparrow, Lancaster University Management School, UK The
Handbook of Human Resource Management in the Middle-East provides
evidence-based information regarding the dynamics of HRM in this
important region. The book is organized into three parts:
contextual and functional issues such as societal and cultural
perspectives, performance management and talent management; country
specific HRM covering the GCC, Levant and North African nations;
and emerging themes such as HR issues related to domestic workers,
labour localisation, expatriate management, corporate social
responsibility, wasta, foreign and public sector firms. This
systematic analysis highlights the main forces determining HRM
systems in the region. Its 23 chapters move from a general overview
of HRM in the Middle-East to a research-based presentation and
discussion on the current status, role and strategic importance of
the HR function in a wide-range of settings, before highlighting
emerging themes in HRM models and discussing future challenges for
research, policy and practice. The Handbook of Human Resource
Management is invaluable reading for academics and students alike,
especially those interested in international and comparative human
resource management. Practitioners with interest in the Middle East
will appreciate its up-to-date analysis and contextualisation of
HRM issues. Contributors include: F. Afiouni, K. Al-Ajmi, R. Al
