A volume in the Research in Organizational Analysis  Series Editor Daniel J. Svyantek, Auburn University  Emerging Themes in International Management of Human Resources is the third volume in  the Research in Organizational Analysis series. This volume investigates important human  resource management (HRM) issues within an international context. The papers in this volume  provide insight into several HRM areas. First, the international context's effects on management  knowledge transfer; privatization of traditionally governmental services; and the relation  between social capital and organizational diversity is considered. The second part of this volume  is concerned with the issue of staffing in international organizations with special emphasis on HRM selection and termination  practices for the cross-national company. Third, women's issues in the international firm are explored. Gender issues such as flexible  work arrangements and the role of culturally defined gender egalitarian values on role differences among women and men managers are  investigated. Finally, the volume explores the issues of expatriation and repatriation among firms. The role of psychological contracts  in supporting successful expatriate experiences; how repatriate support practices influence repatriate organizational commitment; turnover  intentions; and career success; and an investigation of repatriation as sense making process are discussed. This volume provides a  good basis for understanding how HRM practices are affected by cross-cultural differences and provides insight into best HRM practices  for the international organization.
