Download or read book Supervisor feedback as a strategic HR practice to improve organizational performance written by Rieke Weller and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2019-03-20 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2018 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,3, University of Aarhus (Management), language: English, abstract: This study will examine this relationship empirically on a selected case to find out, whether supervisor feedback can be seen as a suitable means to improve business performance. Accordingly, the research question for this paper is the following: How can organizational performance be influenced by the relation between supervisor feedback and employee behaviors and attitudes? In times of fast changing work environments and demanding tasks for employees it is highly important to take actions and adjust the organization’s strategy to still secure a competitive advantage and high-performance outcome especially when competing in a market with strong competitors. Further, employees’ mindsets have changed over the last years and social criteria in their work environment are now more important than financial rewards. This is why the relationship between supervisor and employee is of increased importance and more and more employees yearn for personal development and responsibility to satisfy their individual needs. Based on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs prestige and the feeling of accomplishment is the last step before an individual demands self-fulfilling needs and can achieve one’s full potential. Hence, organizations should pay attention to satisfy this need in order to allow employees reaching the top level and add the highest value to the organization. Based on that, researchers within Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) have been encouraged “to explore whether and how Human Resource practices [...] affect employee attitudes and behaviors in ways that may further business strategy” (Storey, 2007, p. 173). SHRM provides guidance on how key issues of HRM can be managed strategically in the sense that they support the realization of the company’s goals. This relationship between bundles of Human Resource (HR) practices, also called High-Performance Work Systems (HPWS), and behaviors is influenced by various employee attitudes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Get 12 months FREE access to an interactive eBook when purchasing the paperback* Reflecting the global nature of the workplace with its use of real world examples and case studies, Nick Wilton’s book is not another ′How to′ of HRM in practice, but goes beyond the prescriptive approach to the practice of strategic HRM and encourages critical reflection to prepare students for the issues and dilemmas they could face in their careers. Providing an introduction to the management of people in work organizations, it seeks to outline the purpose and operation of HRM activities in the ′real world′, whilst situating practice in the context of associated debates and controversies played out in the parallel field of academic study. It adopts a critical perspective on the study and practice of HRM to provide the reader with an understanding not only of the potential for HRM to contribute to both improved organizational performance and individual well-being in the workplace, but also why it very often fails to achieve either of these positive outcomes and suggests that the management of people is not the exclusive preserve of HR specialists, but an area of interest or concern for all organizational actors. The new edition comes packed with features that encourage readers to engage and relate theory to practice including: - Management skills and attributes boxes outlining the required competencies of line managers and HR practitioners - HR in practice boxes illustrating how HRM theory works in real world practice - Ethical insights presenting ethical considerations for budding practitioners - Global insights highlighting practices around the world - Research insights inviting students to explore further academic research - Case Studies and Examples offering a more in-depth look at HRM across a variety of organizations - A free interactive eBook* featuring author videos, web-links interactive multiple choice questions, free SAGE journal articles, extended case studies and other relevant links, allowing access on the go and encouraging learning and retention whatever the reading or learning style.

Download or read book Human Resource Management and Organization Behavior written by Aharon E. Tziner and published by Ashgate Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. 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.
