Abstract

This chapter focuses on human resource management (HRM) in Jordan, a relatively secular Middle Eastern country with high political stability. Given that Jordan suffers limited natural resources, the onus is falling on the development of its human resources which represent the country’s largest asset. However, the potential of HRM is not yet recognised in Jordan. Although HRM literature in the Middle East in general and Jordan in particular is rather scarce, we present the main aspects of the country’s socio-economic status and discuss the role of HRM in the current economic reforms. We also discuss the key factors that determine HRM policies and practices in the context of Jordan and explore the potential impact of the national unique institutional and cultural setting on HRM practice and the implications of the latter for theory and practice. The chapter also presents the key challenges and future developments in HRM in Jordan and concludes with a number of important areas for future research.
