Over the decades, academic literature has too often neglected the complexities and diversity of the African continent and the challenges faced by both multinational companies working across Africa and domestic African companies, particularly in the field of human resources. This edited collection has been compiled with the aim of developing our understanding and practice of HRM in an African context within an increasingly global work milieu. Chapters focus on different African countries and are underpinned by a critical approach to HRM, which goes beyond focusing on the business cases but considers the sensitivity of the national context. The authors draw on various types of research (conceptual, theoretical and empirical) and incorporate contextual issues such as technology, politics, culture, and economics to supplement the readers' insights into the current state of human resource management in African countries. By highlighting theoretical underpinnings and emphasising the practical relevance of HR issues, this book offers an insightful guide for students and scholars interested in HR and management in developing economies. Chima Mordi is a Reader and Associate Professor in the College of Business, Arts and Social Sciences at Brunel University, UK. He has published widely on international business in emerging and developing markets, in particular the state of labour relations, comparative HRM in Africa, Asia and Middle Eastern countries, employer's flexibility, the regulation of workloads in large firms, and work-life balance of white collar-workers. Hakeem Adeniyi Ajonbadi is a Senior Lecturer in International Human Resource Management and Organisational Development at Birmingham City University, UK. He has authored four books and over fifty articles in peer-reviewed journals on various aspects of HRM and Entrepreneurship. Olatunji David Adekoya is a Senior Lecturer at the College of Business, Technology and Engineering, Sheffield Hallam University, UK. His key research examines HRM in African countries, with a strong focus on work-life balance, organisational flexibility and employment relations. Olatunji has published several articles and contributed to two edited collections. Toyin Adisa is a Senior Lecturer in HRM/OB at the University of East London, UK. He teaches and researches issues in comparative human resource management, Employment relations and Reforms in emerging and developing economies. He has published widely in journals and has co-edited two books for Palgrave Macmillan.
