Inclusive HRM in Freelancers’ Employment Relationships

This study aimed to advance our understanding of inclusive HRM in freelance employment. The following research question was studied: What does inclusive HRM in freelancers’ employment relationships entail, taking into account the organizational needs and freelancers’ psychological contracts? In a qualitative research design, consisting of semi-structured interviews with eight dyads of HR managers and freelancers we explore three themes: (1) organizational needs in freelance employment, (2) how inclusive HRM activities can fulfill the psychological contracts of freelancers, and (3) HR managers’ and freelancers’ perceptions of employment relationships.
