Challenges to organizing informal workers in India are myriad. The objective of this study is to develop a conceptual understanding of the same and to propose alternative perspectives on collectivization of informal labor. The theoretical antecedents, definitional origins of the concept and different types of informal labor are explained. Further, the need and motivation to collectivize and the unique characteristics of informal labor are analyzed as an underpinning to the proposal made in the paper. The major challenges are discussed in detail to elucidate the need for alternative perspectives and the suitable adaptation methods are explained. Finally appropriate governance models based on the adaptation methods are examined.

This paper proposes a new process framework to develop a performance management system aligned to the context of knowledge based teams. Synthesis of literature and conceptual integration is the approach adopted to develop the framework. Firstly, the unique characteristics and the resulting work requirements of knowledge based teams are discussed. Secondly, based on these requirements the most suitable theoretical model for knowledge based teams is identified from literature. Finally, based on the fundamentals of the theoretical model, a new conceptual framework is proposed. The attributes of commitment based human resource management are argued to be the most suited theoretical model for knowledge based teams.References

COVID-19 pandemic is altering the work scenario across industries and the future work scenario will demand a high virtual component. The traditional activities undertaken as part of onboarding might be inappropriate in the post-pandemic scenario. The objective of this paper is to develop an onboarding approach that is conducive to the future virtual work scenario. Qualitative analysis of the information gathered from public sources is done based on which a new onboarding framework is proposed. The proposal is rooted in data and theoretically coherent. This paper is a novel attempt to provide initial direction for future researchers and practitioners in the field of human resource practices.References
