Dear Omar, You might find it helpful to read the following article, which specifically discusses HRM in a project management setting: Huemann, M., Keegan, A. and Turner, R.J. (2007), “Human resource management in the project-oriented company: a review”, International Journal of Project Management, Vol. 25 No. 3, pp. 315-323. Also, I set out to contrast corporate HRM with project-specific HRM in my own paper: David Shaw, (2017) "Managing people and learning in organisational change projects", Journal of Organizational Change Management, Vol. 30 Issue: 6, pp.923-935, https://doi.org/10.1108/ JOCM-11-2016-0253. Best regards, David
