Human Resource Management (HRM) professionals are unique in their job content and the job context. Not like other professionals, they have to work with lives; not with files or systems. However, their role is not clearly defined yet in the extant literature continuing the debate on whether they are specialists or generalists. Hence, bridging that lacuna, the current study critiques the argument of HRM specialists vs. HRM generalists. A narrative content analysis of relevant literature was conducted.
