relevant, there is no dearth of new issues to consider when an organization makes
decisions about selecting its human resources. We brieXy summarizedWve of these
issues that appeared to be generating the most attention in the research literature
during the last decade. Some of these issues require the integration of individual
diVerences literature with the macro literature on organizational strategy (i.e.
relating human resource practices or capabilities to organizational or team eVec-
tiveness). There are also developments that change the manner in which data on
human resource capabilities are measured (e.g. technological advances), the types
of people assessed (e.g. expatriates, people working in virtual environments or
with Xexible schedules), what is being predicted with our decision tools, and
concerns of the audience to which our methods are directed (e.g. reactions to
selection procedures and issues of bias). All of these issues serve to ensure an
exciting and intellectually challenging environment for human resource practi-
tioners and researchers alike.
