Human resource management is tasked with human Capital Development, and Cost Containment (Ku, handout); these are the two missions that human resources management must undertake to keep the people working with the company content, and as conflict-free as possible.

...Dragon Hotel and where does it stand in its industry. There will be emphasis on how relationships, Guanxi, were a major source of income and interest. This proposal will focus on the setback of internal cultural communication in the hotel and how it affected the hotel’s evolution. The hotel decided to grow, from a 3 star to a 5 star hotel. A foreigner team of specialists were requested for the change procedure. The team was not made aware of the culture they are stepping foot in; add to that, they did not speak the language. The Management excused themselves from explaining to the foreigners what inner value does their employees hold; Guanxi. The employees were not told about the change and its phases. The employees did not understand the language of the outsiders nor their unfairly perceived actions. The evolution team should have invested some time in researching the culture of China, the culture of the hotel, and its business routine. The management members must have translated the message of the transformation along with facilitating communication between the outsiders and the employees. Making the employees aware of the downsizing and the hotel’s evolution, would have made them express their hidden values towards the business. If they were told what’s going on in the hotel, they would’ve reacted in hotel’s favor. Introduction: Based in China The...

...way promotions are offered to the way disciplinary actions are taken upon those who are involved in misconduct within the organization. Every employee enjoys a working environment where he or she is treated with fairness, dignity and respect. Through the provision of a favorable working environment, employees become motivated, and the result will be improved productivity and customer service. Therefore, a healthy working environment should be free from inequalities of any kind in the organization. The management of any organization has a huge role to play to ensure fair practices and conditions at work. This paper is going to outline the measures that can be taken by the management to ensure a working environment free of inequalities. The first thing the management of any organization can do to realize the fairness in the organization is to conduct equality trainings to all employees (Castaldo et al. 2009). All employees should be made aware of the justice issues related to resource allocation, performance appraisal, recruitment process and the process of promotion. On the other hand, training should be done to the employees to equip them with the knowledge of the equality policy of the organization and the meaning of the policy to them as employees (Castaldo et al. 2009). This is a move to make the employees aware of what is expected of them to help the organization achieve equality. For example, each new employee to...

Ronald Buckley University of Oklahoma Gloria Harrell-Cook Mississippi State University Dwight D. Frink University of Mississippi The theory, research, and practice of Human Resource Management (HRM) has evolved considerably over the past century, and experienced a major transformation in form and function primarily within the past two decades. Driven by a number of significant internal and external environmental forces, HRM has progressed from a largely maintenance function, with little if any bottom line impact, to what many scholars and practitioners today regard as the source of sustained competitive advantage for organizations operating in a global economy. In this 25th anniversary Yearly Review issue, we conduct a less comprehensive and more focused review of the field of HRM. In doing so, we attempt to articulate some key concepts and issues that can be productively integrated with HRM to provide some interesting and important directions for future work, and consider ways to bridge the gap between the science and practice of HRM. © 1999 Elsevier Science Inc.

...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. (recruitment, development, etc.) share the same basic character and play a similar kind of role in relation to strategic management (Luoma, 2000: 771). Effective HRM strategy systematically organizes all individual HRM measures to directly influence employee attitude and behavior in a way that leads business to achieve its competitive strategy. (Huang, 2001: 134). In view of the fact that the goals and necessities of each of the competitive...

ABSTRACT: Various attempts have been made towards tracing the historical development of the discipline of Human Resource Management (HRM). However, these initiatives have largely been concentrated on certain specific periods of time and experiences of specific countries and regions such as Australia, the USA, the UK and Asia (Nankervis et.al, 2011; Kelly, 2003; Ogier, 2003). This paper attempts to document the entire history of the discipline of Human Resource Management from a holistic perspective. The evolution and development of HRM will be traced right from the pre-historic times through to the postmodern world. Major characteristics in the evolution and development of HRM will also be examined and documented. KEYWORDS: Human Resource Management (HRM), evolution, history INTRODUCTION Defining Human Resource Management (HRM) According to Armstrong (2006) Human Resource Management (HRM) is defined as a strategic and coherent approach to the management of an organization’s most valued assets – the people working there who individually and collectively...

...Assignment 1: Literature critique An exploration of the impact of strategic international human resource management on firm performance: The case of Foreign MNCs in China By Chanzi Bao, Robert and UK Farhad Analoui, Robert Gordon University. 2011 Overview of the article’s content The paper reports the intensive competition arising from globalisation requiring MNCs to seek low cost, innovation, speed and adaptability and the need to manage their human resources globally and strategically in order to become a source of competitive advantage. The authors state that there is a need to manage human resources strategically so that they become source of sustained competitive advantage (Wright and McMahan, 1992; Boxall and Purcell, 2008). And that this has led to the evolution of strategic international human resource management (SIHRM), which not only acknowledge the need of balancing global integration and local responsiveness (Evans et al., 2002), but to seek strategic fit between HR policies and business strategy in order to achieve superior business performance. The researcher’s paper focus upon China with reference to foreign MNCs’ operations and the challenges faced from the dual pressure of balancing globalisation and localisation. Arguing that by combining the concept of SHRM with IHRM it identified a new research area of SIHRM which addressed the HRM issues and activities resulting from, and impacting on, the strategic activities and international concerns of MNC’s, that...
