Abstract: Our research explores the organisational context of International Non-Governmental Organisations (INGOs), an increasingly important sector that has been largely overlooked by management scholars. This sector is of increasing importance in Australia and throughout the world. We focus on Strategic International Human Resource Management (SIHRM), as a particularly important area of management for INGOs. The central purpose of this paper is to propose a framework of strategic international HRM for INGOs and offer a series of propositions specific to INGOs. By doing this, implications for future theoretical and empirical development emerge, with particular attention given to the Australian context.
