CRUZ, Marcus Vinicius Gonçalves da et al. The complex interaction between human resources management, the labor market and employment relations in Brazil. TMStudies [online]. 2017, vol.13, n.4, pp.65-72. ISSN 2182-8458.

This article reports results of qualitative research that examines how the literature available of human resource management (HRM) addresses the new characteristics of employment in Brazil in the 2000-2015 period; with an aging population, a reduction in the share of young people and increased educational level of the workforce, a drop in the number of non-employed, higher income for workers and a high rate of turnover. In employment relations, the trade unions obtained real raises above inflation and strikes have returned. Through a panel of specialists and literature on human resources management in Brazil, the study reveals a distance between the subjects of labor market, employment relations and HRM. Two hypotheses could explain these findings: (H1) labor relation and labor market issues are of little value to HRM; and (H2) HRM and employment relations are treated as different professional areas and fields of knowledge, and are poorly integrated in organizations.

Palavras-chave : human resources management; HRM; labor market; employment relations.
