Aspiring HR Professor Seeking Ph.D. Topic Advice: How to Align with Career Goals?

Hello Sir/Madam,

I am currently pursuing my master's in Human Resource Development (final year). In the future, I would like to become a Professor in a management college. I would like guidance in selecting my Ph.D. research topic, which will be helpful in choosing my PG project. I am interested in career counseling, talent management, Transactional Analysis, and cognition and learning. Please help me with this.

Thank you.

Kindly search CiteHr where ideas have been given on how to select a topic by conducting a literature search in the areas of your interest, identifying gaps in the research, selecting a supervisor/guide, and aligning your interests with those of the guide, etc.

I hope that as part of your course, you have attended classes on Research Methodology.

Do you have any experience in the HR field or are you just a fresher? If you are a fresher, I suggest gaining some practical experience before pursuing your PhD.
