Abstract

Joiners, defined as early-stage non-founder entrepreneurial employees, are crucial in the development and growth of new firms, however finding and keeping them proves to be a particularly challenging hurdle. Given the distinct features of joiners and the new venture context, theories and practices typically established in larger firms are not readily transferable. Therefore, understanding the specific nature of joiners, their motives, and how they affect firm development, becomes irrefutable to fully comprehend HRM and its effect in new firms. By means of a systematic review, we provide an overview of current research on joiners as well as an agenda for future research, hereby coalescing and advancing the HRM and entrepreneurship literatures.
