Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The most precious asset of organizations is the human component. Two disciplines have so far dealt with this aspect of the organizational endeavor, Human Resources Management (HRM) and Organizational Behavior (OB). While HRM develops theoretical knowledge and methodologies regarding different ways of creating this human resource, OB attempts to understand human behavior in organizations, such as motivation, leadership, evolution of work attitudes, and interpersonal relations in work teams. This book reviews research findings in both these fields and integrates their findings into a unified, comprehensive approach to the area of human functioning in the workplace."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book excerpt: In today's global business environment, as firms operate cross nationally, it is imperative and important for the business manager to realize the different environments existing in various regions and countries - differences in culture, behavior, history and geography, in economics and demographics and language and religion. This well-written, engagingly elegant text focuses on managing businesses that operate across national boundaries. Throughout, the running theme is organizational behavior (OB) and human resource management (HRM). What the text tries to do is to tell the students of business management and the practicing managers in international organizations how to deal with the environments in different countries effectively. Professor Punnett suggests to the managers the ways to understand, adjust to, and manage cross-national variations. For, different environments prevalent in various countries have their profound impact on specific aspects of management - such as motivation, leader-ship, communications and negotiations. In this whole process of delineating the different environments for the manager, the text explores the link between culture, politics and other environmental factors and organizational behavior. Besides, it deals with human resource issues, including gender, race, and religions internationally. Finally, the ethical issues involved are carefully analyzed. This book will serve as an ideal supplementary text in OB and HR for MBA, and as a text in international business management courses.

Download or read book Critical Human Resource Management written by Dhammika Jayawardena and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-31 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human resource management (HRM) is the predominant apparatus for people management across the world. Since its inception, HRM has nevertheless been subjected to critical scrutiny. This work has produced a corpus of literature now referred to as ‘Critical HRM’. This book on Critical HRM traces the development of the critical scholarly tradition in people management. It analyzes, organizes and synthesizes the various perspectives, ideas and arguments that constitute this critical tradition. The book identifies the current status and future trends of Critical HRM, and explores its ethico-political role in contemporary organizations, especially in the context of widespread public concern about making business more ethical. Incorporating under-researched and emerging issues of people management, such as the Global South and Critical HRM, with more established themes of Critical HRM, this book introduces Critical HRM’s critique of mainstream HRM and its underpinning assumptions. It illustrates how interventions have the potential to transform organizational policies and practices of managing people at work. The book will be of interest to professionals, researchers, and academics focusing on critical issues in people management across the Global South and North.

This book was released on 2001-02-07 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a new kind of human resource management text because it is written with the general manager in mind. The text provides a base of key organizational behavior material on why employees behave as they do and how to promote behavior required to implement a focused business strategy using staffing, development and reward systems. Organized around the concept of creating integrated HRM systems, students first learn about the processes that explain work behaviors. Students are then acquainted with key issues such as linking HRM systems to a firm's business strategy. That knowledge is then used to design an integrated set of HRM practices promoting the behaviors needed for a particular organization. The text provides detailed and practical examples of the entire process of assessing an organization and designing integrated staffing, development and reward practices. As a result, students become better informed "consumers" of the specialized services provided by in-house human resource professionals and outside consultants and gain insight into how to translate theory into practice.
