Disclaimer
- The 2nd International Conference on Human Resource Management is intentionally multidisciplinary in scope; accepted papers may draw from organizational behavior, labor relations, public administration, psychology, or technology studies, and inclusion in the program does not imply endorsement of any specific theoretical position or methodology by the organizing committee.
- Registration and payment of conference fees confirm a delegate’s intention to attend but do not constitute a guaranteed seat at specific workshops or sessions with limited capacity; early registration is strongly advised to secure preferred session allocations, and the organizers reserve the right to adjust the program schedule when operationally necessary.
- Attendance at individual sessions throughout the conference is at the discretion of each registered delegate; the organizing committee is not responsible for ensuring that any particular delegate attends any specific session, and certificates of attendance will reflect overall conference participation rather than presence at individual presentations.
