5 Human Resources Management 5

6 HRM Activities To be a good manager one must not only know how to manage products but people as well. Effective human resources management is the ability to achieve a firm s objective through people. People are a resource for a firm because of their labor, their skills and their experience. A human resources manager is involved in selecting and recruiting personnel, motivating employees to remain with the firm and to work effectively, appraising their performance and organizing training schemes, dealing with promotions, resolving conflicts and dealing with labor relations.

8 Job Design Effective selection of personnel requires an objective analysis of the requirements of the position that must be filled. It includes a job description and a job specification. The former includes the duties the jobholder must perform, the working conditions under which the job must be performed, and the jobholder s responsibilities. The job specification states the minimum acceptable qualifications that a candidate must possess to perform a particular job.

10 Motivation The performance of a firm is highly dependent on the performance of its employees, and the performance of employees is dependent on job satisfaction. Job satisfaction is related to the ability of the workplace to satisfy employees needs. A need becomes a motive when it is so intense that drives a person to act. Managers use a variety of techniques to enhance employee motivation. Key techniques include management by objectives, in which the management and subordinates set goals for the subordinate together, and behavior modification, which is based on reinforcement theory. Job enrichment, employee participation, job sharing, and flexible workweeks can also be used to motivate employees.

12 Performance Appraisal The regular and systematic appraisal of performance is used to check that the employees are performing adequately, to discuss their difficulties, to help them with career planning, to assess their training needs, to document their potential of promotion, and to provide a basis for payment by results. Appraisal must be seen as a two-way process. It is an opportunity for both the employee and the appraiser to discuss problems and difficulties, to learn from past mistakes and to plan for the future.

14 Labor Relations

15 Labor Relations There is a dual relationship between labor and management. The two groups have different goals, which tend to place them at odds with each other. In developed countries, the employees of an organization have the legal right to form labor unions and to bargain, as a group, with the management for employment matters which are not regulated by laws. Unions negotiate a labor contract with management through the process of collective bargaining. Contract issues include employee pay and benefits, working hours, job security, management rights, and grievance procedures.
