“…We contribute to the research regarding the ‘digital divide’ that concerns marginalised groups and limited access to digital telecommunication and devices ( Cullen, 2002 ; Ioane et al, 2021 ). Finally, this paper honours and promotes the escalating articulation of indigenous traditional methods and studies regarding Oceanic-Pacific people ( Love, 2019 ; Ofe-Grant, 2018 ; Smith, 2012 ; Staniland et al, 2021 ). These methods celebrate indigenous wisdom and provide a channel of voice to participants that are not often studied in contemporary research.…”

COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted research regarding data collection methods during lockdowns and border closures. Consequently, online methods have become the present-day benchmark. This article shares our experiences adapting to COVID-19 while conducting focus groups and online interviews. Guided by the Samoan methodology Teu le va that recognises the special relationships between people from a Samoan context and the Talanoa method of storytelling of the Pacific people, we provide insights concerning the practical and cultural challenges of collecting data during lockdowns that strengthened the continuation and completion of the project. We demonstrate the importance of flexibility in the research design regarding apprehension, health, and research in New Zealand. We highlight the value of a multifaceted approach to recruiting participants, incorporating the services of Pacific leaders, and utilising telephone calls and letter writing for participants without digital access. Furthermore, we reveal an unexpected side-effect of COVID-19 regarding the ‘Pacific digital divide.’ The paper concludes with several avenues for future research on redesigning data collection methods during COVID-19.

“…In addition to the Best Paper by Jooss et al (2019), the Committee also selected two 'Highly Commended' papers as the runners up for the Best Paper Award. They are authored by Garcia-Arroyo and Osca (2019): 'Big data contributions to human resource management: a systematic review'; and by Staniland et al (2019): 'Indigenous and boundaryless careers: cultural boundaries in the careers of M aori academics'. The Committee selected Garcia-Arroyo and Osca (2019) paper because, by systematically reviewing the literature, in particular, 41 articles, it builds a solid fundament for future research on the contributions of big data to HRM.…”

“…The Committee believes that the paper is methodologically sound and derives five main clusters of HRM practice systems that are surely worth being further investigated. Similarly, the Committee selected Staniland et al (2019) paper because it investigates an important topic by studying an unusual sample-M aori academics. The authors conduct a national study to demonstrate how cultural boundaries (in particular, cultural responsibility and cultural conduct) guide individual and collective career behaviours, priorities and aspirations, and to contribute to the advancement of boundaryless career theory.…”

IJHRM after 30 years: taking stock in times of COVID-19 and looking towards the future of HR research

In this paper, we take stock of what The International Journal of Human Resource Management (IJHRM) has achieved in the past 30 years since its inception in 1990. By analyzing the publication trends indicated by keywords, we find that research published in IJHRM has shifted from a collective focus with institutional implications towards more individual concerns with organizational implications with relevance to HRM practices. We present research theme and approaches that distinguish IJHRM from other HRM journals, and offer suggestions of what we see as some of the important issues for future research that will take us beyond the current trajectory of HRM studies.

“…We suggest future studies extend to Indigenous IT professionals who are part of a non-Indigenous organisation to understand how that context may play a role in their experiences and the digital artefacts that they develop or co-develop. The second aspect of this argument is that while such individuals usually work on projects assigned by their employers and will thus be less likely to engage in re-presenting Indigenous culture digitally, we expect that their worldviews and principles will influence how they do their work and which elements they emphasise when they carry out their work (Staniland et al, 2019(Staniland et al, , 2020, thus re-affirming the identity of their marginalised Indigenous community. For example, they could abide by customary Indigenous practices when meeting others, put forward Indigenous perspectives when designing artefacts, advocate for including Indigenous cultural elements in designs and encourage the hiring of Indigenous colleagues and vendors.…”

Western worldviews dominate the information systems (IS) literature, accepted and taken for granted as the natural way of doing things. While diversity in terms of gender and ethnicity has been studied in the IS field, there is scant research on the experiences of Indigenous information technology (IT) professionals. This study uses narrative inquiry to provide temporal, contextualised accounts of IT professional experiences from the Indigenous (M aori) community in Aotearoa, New Zealand. These accounts demonstrate how participants actively draw from their culture to enact their professional activities. We identify three cultural elements that differentiate the practices of M aori IT professionals from Western approaches that dominate the IS literature: whakapapa (genealogical connections), tikanga (customary traditions) and tino rangatiratanga (collective cultural determination). Further, we theorise how Indigenous IT professionals capitalise on the re-presentational power of digital artefacts as a vehicle for cultural reaffirmation to project their Indigenous identity in contemporary society. Our findings are useful for attempts to enhance Indigenous representation in the IT workforce and for designing systems and artefacts that are relevant to and inclusive for Indigenous communities.
