The connections linking HRM and CSR are many and far reaching. Recent research highlighting micro-foundations of CSR and earlier writings on the strategic turn in HRM, are two examples of directions that researchers have taken to explicitly link the management of human resources to responsible business practices. Although tracing such connections is useful in contexts across the globe, in the proposed symposium we focus specifically on the HRM- CSR nexus within the context of developing nations and as it relates specifically to women. We explore the ways in which organizations and its employees/managers in developing economies can leverage HRM practices and internal/external CSR strategies to provide meaningful tools or mechanisms for gender development, for better understanding of gender dynamics within the organization, and/or for the advancement of women's careers. This symposium therefore brings together five papers to explore the HRM-CSR nexus as a space for gendered-based organizational considerations for positive development both within and outside of the organization.
