Download or read book Evaluating the Importance of Strategic Human Resources Management in Enterprise written by Kamran Yeganegi and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategic human resources management is an approach to decision making on the organization's goals and plans in the form of policies, programs and operations related to employment, recruitment, training, and improvement and management of performance. Studies indicated that strategic management in a knowledge-based economy views human resource as the most important source of competitive advantage for an organization. Human resources strategy has found high position since it has provided a tool for creating competitive advantage and improving the management efficiency. The hypothesis of the close relationship between strategic human resources management and the organization strategy is rooted in contingency management theory. This theory states that human resources management practices are developed based on the form of competitive strategy of the organization. Organizations established high harmony between human resources strategy and organizational activities have showed a better performance than the organizations, where this harmony was low. The role of its using in enterprises is undeniable.
Download or read book How People Evaluate Others in Organizations written by Manuel London and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-03-07 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evaluating and making decisions about other people are key aspects of doing business, especially for managers and human resource professionals. Industrial and organizational psychologists devise systematic methods to remove human errors in judgment, such as biases and stereotypes. However many decisions about people are not made by experts using standard procedures. Even when they are, human judgment is unavoidable. This book examines the social psychological dynamics of person perception that underlie how people evaluate others in organizations. It contains original articles from leading experts in social, industrial, and organizational psychology. The book begins by examining basic principles and processes of social cognition and person perception, such as schemas, stereotypes, automatic/mindless information processing, the perceiver's motivation and affect, and situational conditions. It then applies these ideas to key areas of business operations. Helping readers understand and develop ways to improve the way people assess and make decisions about others, this book: * covers the interview, executive promotion decisions, and assessment centers; * examines performance appraisals and multisource (360 degree) feedback ratings; * addresses leadership cognitions, identifying training needs, coaching, and managing problem employees; and * includes chapters on cultural sensitivity, negotiations, group dynamics, and virtual teams.
Download or read book Human Resource Management in Nonprofit Organizations written by Alina McCandless Baluch and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-11-28 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human resource management (HRM) can aid nonprofit organizations (NPOs) in facing uncertain, changing environments of funding pressures, increasing competition and demand for services as well as internal challenges. As the distinguishing features of NPOs can render the professionalization of HRM different from the private and public sectors, this book fills a gap in the literature by offering an in-depth look at how this distinctive nature of NPOs shapes the development and implementation of their HR practices. Timely and topical, this book addresses the professionalization of HRM in the nonprofit sector using examples from an exploratory multiple case study of NPOs selected across different fields. Not only does it offer both students and practitioners in the field of HRM and nonprofit management a better understanding of the specific challenges for HRM that stem from the management of several, contradictory bottom lines in NPOs, but it also highlights the opportunities that distinguishing nonprofit features create for the development and implementation of HR practices. By illustrating how NPOs can invest in learning and adapting processes that aid them in the alteration of HRM, this book is an essential resource for those involved in designing, implementing and studying HRM in NPOs.
