Dear Iftikhar,
I met few people who did Phd in HR but these people are practically falure in their HR functional role to make any impression in their career and finally they turned to theoritical fields in HR and become advisors or consultants or corporate HR masters etc.
My personal experience and this people gave me good reason to say HR is field of practicle people who mastered art by their experience and march a head.

thanks to both of u for your response !
i wanted a suggestion. I practise GRAPHOLOGY. if I take Graphology in context to Selection procedure, would that be a feasible topic.
Graphology is "Handwriting Analysis" which is used extensively in European Countries as a Selection Tool.

Do in Overtime analysis for exports industry & its effects on human health & work performance.

Dear iftiki

Hi,
Phd...opps, "searching a topic" is a phd in itself. he he he..:) just kidding.
Just goahead with what you feel is best you can do in research rather than asking someone as it will confuse you so much. Believe me... its true.
Nothing is correct in this world and everything is right in this world, when it comes to research, what is being followed and what is not being followed, what is true and what is not true; all mix's and becomes a biryani.
My suggestion, just goahead and do research on what subject first came to your mind. If there is no company in India using the technique, maybe with your reaseach someday you will be hired for your consultation service. Best of Luck.

Hi,
Please do not look for quick fixes...there is no substitute for hard work…if you will approach it frivolously you will end up like those examples cited by ‘Parthsarthy’ as “…who did Phd in HR but these people are practically failure in their HR functional role to make any impression in their career and finally they turned to theoretical fields in HR and become advisors or consultants or corporate HR masters etc.”
You my like to give yourself some time (say 3-4 weeks) to read about current topics and trends in HR in some popular and research oriented journals (choose some good international/national journals – not something like Indian Mangers or HRD magazines) and see what topic catches your eye and intrigues your intelligence to prompt you to explore further in the topic.
Your guide is going to be deciding factor about the quality of your work…choose wisely.
Best luck
