INTRODUCTION The term "human resource management" has been commonly used for about the last ten to fifteen years. Prior to that, the field was generally known as "personnel administration." The name change is not merely cosmetics. Personnel administration, which emerged as a clearly defined field by the 1920s (at least in the US), was largely concerned the technical aspects of hiring, evaluating, training, and compensating employees and was very much of "staff" function in most organizations.

...DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT AND HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT HRM has progressed since Henry Ford and the industrial revolution where employees were considered just able bodies to perform task. In the 1950’s Peter Drucker one of the founding fathers of HRM wrote that an effective system must direct the vision and effort of managers towards a common goal which is elemental to HRM. The principle of HRM was further bolstered with the passage of such legislature as the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and the Occupational and Safety Act of 1970 in the USA. Colleges introduced the discipline of HRM into their programs further cementing this principle. HRM as a function evolved out of PM during the 1980’s due to slow domestic growth and increased unionism; international competition and technological and commercial advances in the Japanese market; and in an attempt to stay competitive the USA and UK developed the process of HRM. PM as outlined by Torrington & Hall (1987) refers to the set of activities concerning the workforce including payroll, staffing, mediating between staff and management, complying employee law and other administrative task. It is concerned mainly with managing the workforce not resources. Conversely HRM as defined by Storey 1995 is the distinctive approach to management which seeks to achieve competitive advantage through strategic development of a highly committed and capable workforce using an array of cultural, structural and personnel techniques...

...RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES, BUSINESS STRATEGY FIT AND FIRM PERFORMANCE Oya Erdil & Ay e Günsel Gebze Institute of Technology, Turkey ABSTRACT While there has been growing interest concerning the relationship between human resource (HR) practices, firm strategy and firm performance, limited research attention has been paid providing empirical evidence in support of them. This study investigates the relationships between HR practices, human resources management (HRM) - firm strategy fit and the firm performance of 63 small and medium sized firms located around Kocaeli and Gebze from both theoretical and empirical perspective. The findings indicate a strong relationship between different HR practices and HRM-firm strategy fit and firm performance. Further, the results provide support for the assertion that HR-firm strategy fit can significantly assist a firm in improving performance. Therefore, empirical support is obtained for the efforts at aligning HRM practices with firm strategy and firm performance.
