The annual John Lovett Memorial Lecture Series is jointly organized by the Department of Personnel and Employment Relations, University of Limerick, and the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development in Ireland. The Series was established in honor of John Lovett, former chairman of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development in Ireland. Its objective is to explore aspects of workforce management from both an academic and practitioner perspective. This edited volume commemorates the tenth lecture in the series and is designed to constitute both a compendium of the Lovett lectures and a significant research-based contribution to the literature on human resource management in Ireland.
