Handbook for practical classes and self-training on discipline “Human Resource Management”

Abstract

Every chapter in this handbook for practical classes and self-training contains a set of review and discussion questions. Students who have read the chapter and understood its concepts should be able to answer the review questions. All reading-for-comprehension questions are drawn directly from the chapter material. The discussion questions go beyond comprehension and are designed to foster higher-order thinking skills. That is, they require readers to apply, integrate, synthesize, or evaluate an HRM concept. The Linking Concepts to Practice discussion questions allow students to demonstrate that they not only know the chapter facts but can use those facts to deal with more complex issues.

This course examines the evolving human resources function within today’s organizations. Students will examine the changing roles and responsibilities of human resources managers, the acceptance and integration of the human resources function as a full business partner, and the higher expectations placed on human resources leadership to make a significant contribution to the successful management of the organization. Students will explore the role managers and supervisors play in the successful management of the organization’s human resources.
