People have assumed a strategic and important role in organizations, providing a source of essential organizational competence and therefore they should be valued and developed through Human Resource Management (HRM) policies and practices. This qualitative-quantitative research aims to design an overview of national studies on HRM policies and practices, presenting the results of a systematic and bibliometric review of papers published in leading management and psychology journals in the period 2010-2016. The article shows the institutionalization of research in Brazil, which allowed a proposition of a research agenda, updating the review of Demo, Fogaça, Nunes et al. (2011) that contemplated a review between 2000 and 2010. A literature review was carried out on eighteen journals with Qualis Classification equal to or greater than B1, resulting in 59 papers. The results showed the increase of scientific production indicators in the analyzed period highlighting the academic effort on the subject and the strategic relevance of HRM policies and practices studies for organizations. Gaps were identified, showing the need for further studies related to recruitment and selection and involvement policies, both little investigated in Brazil. There is also a lack of studies relating HRM policies to other organizational behavior variables and of efforts to develop and validate measurement tools on the subject.
