...1. Introduction The development of Human resource Management and personnel management started from the 17th century when the industrial revolution began, developed throughout the first and second world was, continued its development throughout the strikes of the 1970s and 1980s and it is still developing today. 2. Define Human Resource Management. “HRM is now often seen as the major factor differentiating between successful and unsuccessful organisation, more important than technology or finance in achieving competitive advantage” Human Resource Management at Work What is meant by a successful company is a company that meets their mission statement, the employees have a positive outlook towards the business and the employees are be committed to their work and to the business. When saying “competitive advantage” they mean the advantage gained by offering consumers a greater product or service by delivering products with a lower price or providing greater benefits over their competitors. 3. Describe How Human Resource Management differs from Personnel Management. Previously personnel management was where negotiation between employees and management occurred and also Personnel Management looked after the welfare of the employee. This has now been taken over by the human resource faculty of the organisation. Personnel management is where the needs of the employees are being taken care of. The personnel management is where the main focus is to make sure the management...

To benefit from this, you need, of course, to have a basic understanding of Human Resource Management (HRM) itself. HRM has developed from personnel management, but instead of concentrating primarily on the hiring and firing of staff, it is the strategic and coherent approach to the overall management of an organisation’s most valued assets – the people working there who contribute to the objectives of the business1. Its main aim is to develop personnel policies that improve employee relations at work. This course will, therefore, begin with an examination of the history and nature of Human Resource Management, before embedding it in its international context. In Unit 1, you will learn about the main tasks involved in HRM: • human resource planning • job...

...“HRM... it’s a posh way of describing a personnel manager...” In this assignment the main functions of human resource management will be discussed along with the key concepts and practices associated within the role. The ways in which human resource management contributes to organizational performance will be evaluated as well as an evaluation of the two components of HRM; soft and hard. Finally, the ways in which human resource management differs from personnel management will be examined outlining the main differences between them and discussing the views that a management theorist, John Storey, has about the two management types. Human resource management (HRM) “includes all the activities that managers engage in to attract and retain employees and to ensure that they perform at a high level and contribute to the accomplishment of an organization’s goals.” (Jones, George & Hill, 2000, p.349) However, defining the term ‘human resource management’ isn’t always easy which has been part of an ongoing debate over the years. Although human resource management is a popular term within management, “there is still no universally agreed definition of it’s meaning.” (Beardwell & Claydon, 2010, p.4) The reasons for this is because HRM is a very broad topic with it being used in many different ways within organisations and the fact that HRM can be referred to as a more modern form of personnel management. The main functions of human resource management will now be discussed...

...Introduction The following essay will trace the development of Human Resource Management/Personnel Management. Within this essay the origins of personnel management will be described and how the Human Resource Management (HRM) developed from that process. A brief discussion on the development of the ‘factory system’ and a description of the employee working conditions within these ‘factory systems’ will be discussed. Also included will be an outline on how these ‘factory systems’ operated and what this meant for the employees. The development of the ‘Welfare Tradition’ will be discussed and how it relates the Human Resource Management of today. The role the ‘welfare officers’ played in businesses and the changes that was brought about will also be discussed. After the ‘Welfare Tradition’ came the ‘Scientific’ movement. The changes in businesses that the ‘Scientific Movement’ brought about will be looked at. F.W Taylor’s ‘Principles of Scientific Management’ will be explored and the affects his principles had on businesses. The ‘Behavioural Science’ movement will be discussed along with Elton Mayo’s ‘Human Relation School of Thought’ and his experiment widely known as the ‘Hawthorn Studies’. The impact this had on businesses and the affect this had on the managers and workers will be included. The growth of trade unions and the affect they had on employers and employees will be discussed along with Jeffrey Pfeffer’s seven key HRM practices and a brief analysis of their meaning...

...REsouRcE managEmEnt and Human REsouRcE infoRmation systEms The Role of InfoRmaTIon Technology Mohan ThiTe, Michael J. Kavanagh, and RichaRd d. Johnson EDITORS’ NOTE The purpose of this chapter is to provide an introduction to the fields of human resource management (HRM) and information technology (IT) and to the combination of these two fields into human resource information systems (HRIS). The history of the field of HRM and the impact of computer technology on HRM will be covered, as well as the advent of using a human resource information system and the subsequent effects on both HR and IT professionals. The different types of HR activities will be discussed as well as the different types of information systems used in HRIS. A central focus of this chapter is the use in managerial decision making of results and reports from an HRIS. The development of the HRIS field has been seen to have a significant impact on the emergence of strategic human resource management (Strategic HRM), as is discussed in this chapter. This first chapter will lay the groundwork for the remainder of this book, and, consequently, it is important to understand thoroughly the concepts and ideas it presents. This chapter contains definitions for a number of terms in common use in the HRM, IT, and HRIS fields. (Note that a glossary defining these terms is also provided at the back of this book.)

...There are many factors impacting work and learning specifically in Canada. How workers are involved or participate can affect outcomes for the employee and employer. Social and economic are two factors that influence education, learning, training and work. In this essay, I will provide examples of why social and economic context must be considered when understanding work and learning. I will also examine assumptions frequently made by Human Resources Management (HRM) and their perspective on the purpose and outcomes of learning and the critiques that challenge these perspectives. Understanding the social context for work and learning contains many variables. Life experiences, level of education, age, ethnicity and language, gender and social class are social factors to consider when understanding work and learning. As an example, “women are less likely to be offered workplace training as part of their jobs. There is an under-investment in training of female employees; factors influencing female participation include family obligations and the concentration of women in low-wage jobs that are least likely to offer training” (Pocock et al, 2011b; Roberts and Gowan, 2007; Livingstone and Sawchuk, 2004 as quoted in Canadian Labour and Business Centre, 2005, p. 11). It’s clear that gender affects how women consider work and learning and the impact on the organization’s output and profits. Canada consists of diverse cultures and ethnicities. New immigrants face language and ethnicity...

...Maps and models of HRM Based on Human Resource Management, 4th edition, by Alan Price Maps and models of HRM This section begins with a discussion of various approaches to HRM, including Keenoy's hologram comparison and Sisson's 4 main features of HRM models. A key concept is that of Hard and Soft HRM: 'Storey (1989) has distinguished between hard and soft forms of HRM, typified by the Michigan and Harvard models respectively. 'Hard' HRM focuses on the resource side of human resources. It emphasizes costs in the form of 'headcounts' and places control firmly in the hands of management. Their role is to manage numbers effectively, keeping the workforce closely matched with requirements in terms of both bodies and behaviour. 'Soft' HRM, on the other hand, stresses the 'human' aspects of HRM. Its concerns are with communication and motivation. People are led rather than managed. They are involved in determining and realizing strategic objectives.' Human Resource Management, 4th edition goes on to consider the views of Guest and Legge and then discusses the classification of HRM models. Three American perspectives on HRM are provided from the work of Fitz-Enz, Ulrich and Pfeffer. Points to consider * A fundamental element of most rhetorical accounts of HRM is that one of the distinctive features of human resource management (as opposed to personnel management) is that it is 'holistic'. In other words it is concerned with the 'big picture' and the way that different...

...extensive and radical organizational change such as merging process. This study addresses and works on the existing research gap by investigating the roles of HR managers among the different roles which were defined at the fist by Dave Ulrich. This paper demonstrates that HR managers are an essential part of merger and that HR practices should be given an extensive emphasizing throughout such organizational change “the merger process”. Keywords: HR practices; HR manager roles; Merger process. 64 www.macrothink.org/ijhrs 1. Introduction In recent years human resource managers have been triggered to play a more strategic role in their organizations, especially in making strategic decisions and going through radical organizational changes such as merging process (Bjorkman & Soderberg, 2003). Nowadays this requirement is even more urgent and acute due to the fact that past decade has been characterized by enormous growth in mergers. Most of the studies of HRM in merger field were focused on the theoretical framework and has a consultative nature in dealing with one phase of the merger process which is the post implementation stage of merger. This study is directed at testing a hypothesis that there is a vital and simultaneously unreplaceable fit between Strategic Human Resource...
