HR process research was established to explain the 'black box' in the relationship between HR practices and organizational performance. Bowen and Ostroff’s (2004) framework on HRM system strength, along with Nishii, Lepak, and Schneider's (2008) model of HR attributions, have served as foundational pillars that initiated a stream of HR process research. The five papers presented in this symposium conceptually build upon but challenge the core ideas of these two frameworks. They also methodologically advance HR process research by demonstrating its predictive validity, enhancing research designs and analyses, and enriching research contexts. By revisiting these foundational frameworks, the papers in the symposium encourage to apply of novel concepts and rigorous methods to unveil new horizons in HR process research. The symposium will conclude with Prof. Kaifeng Jiang providing insightful feedback on each paper and discussing how these papers contribute to the advancement of HR process research.
