“…Other articles focused on the role of knowledge (Suder, Reade, Riviere, & Birnik, 2018) and adjustment, psychological contracts, and risk management (Posthuma, Ramsey, Flores, Maertz, & Ahmed, 2018) in hostile environments. Finally, Harvey et al (2018) propose a terrorism preparedness plan for companies, pointing out the employer's Duty of Care. Overall, we believe they are a great mix of different approaches (methodologically and theoretically) to answer questions in this important research field.…”

Questions related to managing people in hostile environments have become more central on the agenda of business leaders and HR professionals in MNCs. This is due to developments such as the increase of terrorism or the political instability in many regions. In consequence, research on the role of HR in hostile environments has increased as well, though it can still be considered in its early stages.We would like to review the current state of research on managing people in hostile environment. In particular, with this article we contribute to the literature by developing a conceptual framework that distinguishes between micro, mezzo and marco level research and charts progress, mechanisms and results. We call this the Situation-Response-Outcome (SRO) Framework of HRM in hostile environments. Depending on the level of analysis, the framework further differentiates between a pre-crises, acute-crisis, and post-crises phases of HRM in hostile environments. As a result, it serves as the basis to cluster existing literature around it and to show avenues for future research.

“…It should also be noted that terrorism and the threat of terrorism are less predictable and more frequent as time goes on since individuals and small groups have the capability of initiating attacks [ 14 ]. A topical study suggests that “global terrorism has increased in recent years and occurs in unexpected places, at unexpected times, with unexpected casualties” [ 15 ] (p. 3). In effect, the threat of terrorism is omnipresent.…”

“…Our work is intended to complement global safety and health models as well as the emerging literature on managing global human resources in hostile environments. All companies doing business on the global stage need terrorism preparedness plans [ 15 ]. Duty of Care [ 15 , 58 ] extends beyond providing for expatriates’ physical safety; psychological safety and well-being must also be recognized and given full consideration.…”

Duty of Care [ 15 , 58 ] extends beyond providing for expatriates’ physical safety; psychological safety and well-being must also be recognized and given full consideration. We also acknowledge that, in addition to expatriates, our model is applicable to global business executives who travel a lot and may experience fears associated with terrorist threats and attacks.…”

This paper examines existing research on the impact of terrorism on expatriate coping strategies. We consider pre-assignment fear of terrorism, in-country coping strategies, and anxiety and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) associated with repatriation. The extant research is small but growing. Our model for expatriate coping at the pre-departure, in-country, and repatriation stages includes strategies specific to each stage. Preparation using proactive coping, systematic desensitization, problem and emotion focused coping, social support, and virtual reality explorations are recommended. Selecting expatriate candidates who are well-adjusted, emotionally intelligent, and possessing good coping skills is essential for successful assignments in terror-prone regions.

“…The discussed theoretical framework is in line with contemporary literature on international trade with regard to measures of the addressing negative effects resulting from terrorism, notably: anticipation of the potential impacts of terrorism (Harvey, Dabic, Kiessling, Maley, & Moeller, 2017), management of individuals in hostile terrains (Bader, Schuster, & Dickmann, 2015), especially in relation to expatriate personnel (Bader & Berg, 2014a, 2014b; Bader, Reade, & Froese, 2016), and corporate social responsibility by international trade companies as a strategic management tool (Agwu & Taylor, 2015).…”

Each research stands on its merit and the views expressed in AFEA Working Papers are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the AFEA, its Executive Board, or AFEA management. AbstractThe study investigates whether development assistance can be used to crowd-out the negative effect of terrorism on international trade. The empirical evidence is based on a panel of 78 developing countries for the period 1984-2008 and Quantile Regressions. The following main findings are established. First, bilateral aid significantly reduces the negative effect of transnational terrorism on trade in the top quantiles of the trade distribution. Second, multilateral aid also significantly mitigates the negative effect of terrorism dynamics on trade in the top quantiles of the trade distributions. It follows that it is primarily in countries with above median levels of international trade that development assistance can be used as an effective policy tool for dampening the adverse effects of terrorism on trade. Practical implications are discussed. JEL Classification: F40; F23; F35;Q34 ; O40
