Download or read book The Promotion and Marketing of Human Resource Management written by Dr. Arbab Akanda and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-02-27 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human resource management as an applied support business discipline is responsible for the people management to contribute to the effectiveness of an enterprise and is also responsible for social change through organizations that act upon society, and this is the core theme of the book. HR must be seen as a partner to the social change, from a perspective that is wider than oneself and the organization. From the conventional wisdom, HR exists to serve the best interest of the organization, which cannot be argued. But the time has come where the HR professionals have matured with the passage of time, recognized as a key player, and acknowledged justly. The practitioner of this discipline has a responsibility toward the society, and as core socio-organizational function it is about time, to look at the big picture: society.

Download or read book Cognition Emotion and Consciousness in Modernist Storyworlds written by Margrét Gunnarsdóttir Champion and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2022-11-25 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together contributions from scholars across the globe interested in the representation of embodied minds in literary texts, ranging from George Eliot to Hilary Mantel. It focuses specifically on the experimental formalism of canonical modernism, as well as on innovative works in literary history which interface with avant-garde poetics. Approaching textual aspects such as time and space, character, gender, the social mind and readers’ participation through the parameters of cognition, emotion and consciousness, the contributions here will broaden the reader’s understanding of the nexus between mind and narrative, as well as of how the modernist aesthetic enriches the conditions of that nexus. Significantly, the book also collectively illustrates how experientiality, considered by many narratologists to be equal to narrativity, to the very ontology of narrative, remains a cross-generic phenomenon, an inherent feature of poetry and documentary reporting no less than of the novel proper.

Book excerpt: Revolutions are typically huge and dominating events in the world's history accompanied by radical, visible change. The current revolution is in this regard 'silent' yet change is everywhere. The changes in organisational life are affecting management and the way in which businesses are being run.In this volatile context the Human Resource (HR) function need to be strategically correctly positioned. It needs to be 'reinvented' and positioned in terms of all aspects of people and relations in an organisational context, with clearly identified main activities (professional streams). In order to understand the current state of affairs of the HR function and to give definition to a future ideal positioning for the function, the authors conducted a survey. It was sent out to members of management, as well as to HR practitioners. Based upon the findings of the survey, as well as an analysis of international trends and developments, the authors propose six transitional pillars for the HR function:1. Leadership and meaning2. Relationships3. Workplace socialisation4. Productivity5. Organisational transformation6. Personal wellnessThese pillars, as strategic focus areas, are built upon foundational HR competence and business acumen. The intention behind the project is to enable the HR function to reinvent itself into a discipline which is acknowledged and respected for its relevance, competence and professionalism. Reinventing HR will provide you with the context in which the HR function needs to find its strategic and operational relevance. Content includes: Research report and findings Transitional pillars Foundational understanding: HR competence and business acumen Leadership and meaning Relationships Workplace socialisation Productivity Organisational transformation Personal wellness The future

This edited book is appropriate for undergraduate and graduate students in industrial and organizational psychology, human resource management, sociology of work, and cultural diversity within organizations.

Download or read book Human Resource Management and Digitalization written by Franca Cantoni and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digitalization is changing the world of work. Technology is shifting the relationship between workers and machines and how work is organized; new skills are becoming increasingly relevant in the workplace where workers no longer work for a single company, in 9-to-5 jobs, five days a week. Industry 4.0, also known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution, is revolutionizing the way managers can design, control and improve their activities. While the nature of the tasks and the interdependences between individuals are changing, the impact of intelligent technologies is severely questioning the span of control of leaders and the effectiveness of their leadership styles. The authors sketch out the main changes occurring in the business landscape and identify the new expectations that organizations are formulating for leaders across several industries. In an age in which new leadership models are about to emerge, they describe how the relevant changes impact and shape the managerial arena. This book sets the stage for a new way of thinking on the nature of the relationship between HR and technology. It examines the influence of Industry 4.0 and Innovation 4.0, (i.e. the connection between physical and digital processes in industrial production, where human competencies and machine potential are strictly interconnected throughout the entire value chain), from a myriad of viewpoints: namely in terms of structures, practices, influences (learning, training and communication), competencies and roles. A chapter is also dedicated to the understanding of the impact of Innovation 4.0, in the context of European Universities through E-learning Experiences where a multiple-case study analysis is provided.

Download or read book The HR Value Proposition written by David Ulrich and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2005-05-11 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The international best seller Human Resource Champions helped set the HR agenda for the 1990s and enabled HR professionals to become strategic partners in their organizations. But earning a seat at the executive table was only the beginning. Today's HR leaders must also bring substantial value to that table. Drawing on their 16-year study of over 29,000 HR professionals and line managers, leading HR experts Dave Ulrich and Wayne Brockbank propose The HR Value Proposition. The authors argue that HR value creation requires a deep understanding of external business realities and how key stakeholders both inside and outside the company define value. Ulrich and Brockbank provide practical tools and worksheets for leveraging this knowledge to create HR practices, build organizational capabilities, design HR strategy, and marshal resources that create value for customers, investors, executives, and employees. Written by the field's premier trailblazers, this book charts the path HR professionals must take to help lead their organizations into the future. Ulrich is a professor at the University of Michigan School of Business and the author of 12 books and more than 100 articles on the subject of human resources. Brockbank is a clinical professor of business at the University of Michigan School of Business, the author of award-winning papers on HR strategy, and an adviser to top global organizations.

Download or read book The Research Practice Gap in Human Resource Management written by Aino Tenhiälä and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study, we examine the cross-cultural differences in human resource (HR) managers' beliefs in effective HR practices by surveying HR practitioners in Finland (N=86), South Korea (N=147), and Spain (N=196). Similar to previous studies from the U.S., the Netherlands, and Australia, there are large discrepancies between HR practitioner beliefs and research findings, particularly in the area of staffing. In addition, we find that interpersonal-oriented aspects of HR practices tend to be more culturally bound than technical-oriented aspects of HR practices. We interpret the differences using Hofstede's cultural dimensions (Power Distance, Individualism versus Collectivism, Masculinity versus Femininity, Long-Term Orientation versus Short-Term Orientation, and Uncertainty Avoidance). We discuss the overall nature of the science-practice gap in HR management, and the implications for evidence-based management.
