Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Personnel and Organisation, grade: 1.2, , language: English, abstract: The transformation of human resource practices has been impacted by different factors including globalization, compensation and benefits package, and diversity initiatives. For instance, in the global competition, firms are seeking for a talented pool of excellent workers to achieve a sustained competitive advantage. Compensation and benefits package is another factor that has an impact on the future performance of human resource practices. This is because compensation and benefits package are designed to attract, retain, and motivate employees for competitive advantage. Human resource management is, therefore, moving away from a base-pay-system towards a pay-for-performance system in order to encourage and motivate employees without having to jeopardize their basic financial security. It is also evident that diversity initiatives in human resource are getting wider attention owing to the impact of globalization and increase in job market. Organizations have invested resources on diversity initiatives including workplace programs and benefits such as flexible work arrangement, corporate sponsored employee affinity groups, and diversity management staffs. Various organizations have implemented various initiatives including diversity and equity in the workplace in order to enhance the performance of the firm.

Moreover, the book identifies best practices in areas such as the design of the HR organization and HR metrics. It clearly points out how the HR function can and should change to meet the future demands of a global and dynamic labor market. For the first time, the study features comparisons between U.S.-based firms and companies in China, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and other European countries. With this new analysis, organizations can measure their HR organization against a worldwide sample, assessing their positioning in the global marketplace, while creating an international standard for HR management.

Download or read book Antecedents and Consequences of Digital Human Resource Management written by Christian Theres and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-18 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last decades, a considerable amount of research has been directed towards explaining the concept of Digital Human Resource Management (DHRM). Yet, a holistic assessment of DHRM antecedents and consequences with respect to possible contextual contingencies is still missing. To this end, this thesis introduces a research framework illuminating the multifaceted phenomenon of DHRM from various perspectives. An exploratory four-step meta-analytic structural equation modelling (E-MASEM) approach tailored to address the domain-specific challenges of DHRM is introduced and applied. Results identify 32 constructs associated with the DHRM usage phenomenon which are categorized into DHRM antecedents and DHRM consequences. Findings reveal that user perceptions, expectations, attitudes, and intentions are essential in predicting DHRM usage while HRM service quality and user satisfaction are found crucial in explaining other DHRM consequences. Further, practitioners are informed about the relative importance of factors for both facilitating DHRM adoption and measuring DHRM success. Lastly, this thesis also contributes to the MASEM methodology by outlining a new approach to summarize statistical inferences from multiple moderator tests.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book is intended to address the need for an updated look at the HRM legal and regulatory environment. Contrary to existing books which address legal issues in HRM from a narrower focus or specific issue (like sexual harassment, performance appraisal or employment termination), this book provides a comprehensive and in-depth look at legal issues, regulations and laws which govern all aspects of human resource management—recruitment, selection, placement, performance management (i.e., employee training and development), benefits and compensation—and specific issues such as job analysis, sexual harassment, and the like. The contributors to this book offer their insight derived from their own research and practical experience with the HRM legal and regulatory environment/world of work. More specifically, the contributors examine, analyze and discuss challenges, issues and opportunities related to HRM legal and regulatory issues and the implications for employees and their organizations while emphasizing the importance of navigating such laws and regulations to the employment cycle and toward sustainable competitive advantage in today’s and tomorrow’s organizations.

This book was released on 2020-12-14 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2019 in the subject Leadership and Human Resource Management - Leadership, grade: 1,0, Salzburg Management Business School (Faculty of Business and Management and Economics), language: English, abstract: The purpose of this dissertation is to develop a model of the linkages between human resource management, organizational learning and organizational performance to test the assumptions and to analyze the correlations in order to substantiate or falsify the original model and to draw respective conclusions for relevant stakeholders in business enterprises as well as to give suggestions for further research in the field. The research hypotheses that organizational learning positively influences organizational performance et vice versa, and that human resource management positively influences organizational performance directly are developed and the research model is conceptualized, operationalized, and visualized via the resulting theoretical scheme. Also, the development of the research methodology, design, and the selection of research methods is being undertaken, and the data gathering process via pre-study and electronic survey about the interdependencies between the theoretical constructs involved in the research hypotheses are described. The data analysis on the electronic survey about the items influencing the interdependencies between theoretical constructs of human resource management, organizational learning, and organizational performance takes place starting with a factor analysis and based on it the research scheme is being adapted into an evidence-based research model which is analyzed via different descriptive statistical methods, i.e. hierarchical and multiple regression analysis, and Structural Equation Modelling. The practical implementation of research suggestions in Austrian business enterprises is discussed by ways of the best-practice-example of an international business enterprise in the sector of industry. Main conclusions include that: organizational performance cannot be seen as a holistic concept incorporating the end results of all the organization’s work processes and activities directed at lasting competitive advantage, but has to be divided into two separated concepts. The main hypothesis that organizational learning positively influences organizational performance in terms of non-financial variables regarding general competitiveness and human resource performance also can be substantiated. Human resource managers can use the findings as reference for future strategic orientation of organizations as well as derive specific implementation measures from it.

Download or read book How Human Resource Management Impacts Productivity And Efficiency written by Johnny Ch Lok and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-03-23 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: - Can HRM practice influence employee individual skills through the HR development of a firm's human capitals in organization?It will need long time to implement HR development in any organization, if the organization decides to implement long term HR development strategy, e.g. it can provide formal and informal training experiences, such as basic skills training, on-the-job experience, coaching, mentoring, and managemet development can further influence employee individual skills to be improved in other to achieve raising productive efficiency to every department.Other raising productivity and efficient method is that employee psychological method. The HRM practices can attempt to encourage employees themselves motivates to work both harder and smarter. So, when some employees have higher skills, they can do tasks more better, but these igher skillful employees limit their effort to work in lazy. So, their productive efficiency can not achieve the best performance. The question is concerned how to persuade or encourage them to motivate and perform work hard? The solution may be performance appraisals that assess individual or work group performance, linking these appraisals to incentive compensation systems, the use of internal promotion systems that can focus on employee merit, e.g. the performance evaluation may have three levels: excellent performance, good performance and poor performance three levels. Thus, the oftenhigh performance employees can earn more reward to compensate their efforts or promote them to higher positions in short time in order to persuade how they perform their tasks to improve their productivities and efficiencies in short time.The another raising productive efficient method is to change organizational culture to be better. It seems that organizational culture can influence turnove. I shall assume that it has relationship between productivity and organizational culture. For example, if the organization's culture or policy is not one punishment method. Then, it can enourage the lazy workers to apply many leaving pay holidays and the lazy workers will be encouraged to absence and the absenteeism number will increase. It needs to change its traditional organizational culture in order to threaten the lazy employees need to hard to work. When the firm changes punishment method to treat these often absent employees, then these lazy workers number will be possible to reduce, due to they do not want be punished. When the organization has punishment method and disciplinary actions to treat the employees who have higher absenteeism, due to they feel afraid to be punished. Thus, the positive consequencey may be increasingly product quality and direct labor efficiency, lower absenteeism, and labor high teams increased productivity.In conclusion, it seems that when one organization can achieve to implement one long term human resource management development strategy to its any departmental employees, it have more chance to bring long term raising productivities and efficiencies and improving employee individual behavioral performance consequence.
