The success evident in the Saudi Arabian retail industry is attributable to numerous lucrative activities undertaken by respective human resource departments. This ranges from planning endeavors to appropriate grievance handling mechanisms. In this study, we intend to assess the human resource practices in retail companies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Primary data based on 355 respondents were analyzed to assess human resource activities being practiced by retail companies in Saudi Arabia. Six factors were analyzed. ‘Human resource planning and recruitment’ was fairly practiced in retail organizations. Recruitment practices observe transparency and equality and thus offer due opportunities. It was also observed that human resource planning incorporated knowing and sourcing when, where, and how potential employees will be attained to meet the business demands. ‘Selection’ was also found to be moderately...

...Five Functional Areas Of Human Resource Management Five Functional Areas of Human Resource Management (HRM) HRM has five functional areas that include: Staffing, Human Resource Development (HRD), Compensation and Benefits, Safety and Health, and Employee and Labor Relations. Staffing Achieving organizational objectives requires having the proper number of employees with the appropriate skills. Staffing accomplishes this objective through four tasks. The first task is job analysis, which examines specific job functions in determining the skills, duties and knowledge required for each position. The second task is ensuring that the required numbers of employees, with the appropriate skills, are available when needed organizations engage in Human Resource Planning (HRP). The third task is recruitment, which is the process of attracting enough skilled people to apply for jobs in the organization. Fourth, the last step in the staffing process, is selection. This involves choosing the best suited individuals to fill the open positions in the firm. Human Resource Development (HRD) Six functions, including training, development, career planning, career development, organization development and performance appraisal, make up Human Resource Development (HRD). * Training: is a process designed to provide employees with the knowledge and skills needed for their present job. Focusing on long-term learning needs is development. The ongoing process of career planning sets career goals for...

...of the goal we want to achieve enhances performance of that task. Better information about the expectations of customers, the actions of competitors, and the state of the economy provides strong support for the strategic direction of organizations. Information about levels of output, for example, numbers of defects and efficiency of processes, positions line managers to produce high-quality products in the right amounts at the right time to meet customer needs. The same is true for the effective management of human capital in organizations. As discussed in this chapter, effective approaches to the measurement of human capital and the impact of people on organization processes, for example, HR programs such as recruiting, will enable both HRM professionals and line managers to utilize the human capital in organizations effectively. This measurement is accomplished by focusing on the development of systems of workforce analytics and supporting HR metrics that meet the needs of organization decision makers. This chapter offers a brief history of the efforts involved in the development of HR metrics and workforce analytics and of how these efforts have been enhanced by the advent of integrated human resource information systems.1 From benchmarking to operational experiments, the HRIS field is rapidly evolving on many fronts. These advances are changing how HR metrics and analytics are used in organizations and their impact on organization effectiveness. The use of HR metrics and workforce...

...Business Studies University of Dhaka Date of Submission: 28th February, 2015 1.1 Introduction The concept of HRM became popular in the early 1980s; since then there has been increasing interest in the academic concept as well as in the research area. Early models of HRM were largely conceptual and not based on substantial empirical evidence for their validity (Beer, Spector, Lawrence, Miles & Walton, 1984; For burn, Tichy & Devanna,1984; Guest,1989). Human Resources (HR) are considered as the most important assets of an organization, but very few organizations are able to fully harness its potential (Ahmed & schroeder, 2002). Human resources system is a distinct but interrelated activities, functions and processes that are directed at attracting, developing and maintaining or disposing firms’ human resources (Lado & Wilson, 1994). Human resources in other words, well informed capable citizenry can improve the total ability of an organization, a society, a government agency and virtually of a country, of a nation (khan, 2003). Human resources are the most important assets of an organizations because without them the business functions such as managing cash flow, making business transactions, communicating through all forms of media, and dealing with customers could not be completed (Haslinda, 2009). Human Resource Management (HRM) is the function within an organization that focuses on recruitment of, management of, and providing direction for the people...

...Saylor URL: http://www.saylor.org/books Saylor.org 1 Preface Competing books are focused on the academic part of HRM, which is necessary in a university or college setting. However, the goal with this book is not only to provide the necessary academic background information but also to present the material with a practitioner’s focus on both large and small businesses. While the writing style is clear and focused, we don’t feel jargon and ten-dollar words are necessary to making a good textbook. Clear and concise language makes the book interesting and understandable (not to mention more fun to read) to the future HRM professional and manager alike. It is highly likely that anyone in business will have to take on an HRM role at some point in their careers. For example, should you decide to start your own business, many of the topics discussed will apply to your business. This is the goal of this book; it is useful enough for the HRM professional, but the information presented is also applicable to managers, supervisors, and entrepreneurs. Besides these differences, other key differences include the following: This book utilizes a technology focus and shows how HRM activities can be leveraged using technology. We have also included a chapter on communication and information about motivational theories. Since communication is a key component of HRM, it makes sense to include it as a full chapter in this book. Human motivation is one of the cornerstones of HR, which is...
