PART 1:   FUNDAMENTALS OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT 

PART | CONTENTS  01 Human resource management (HRM)  02 Human capital management  03 Strategic HRM  Introduction  Human resource management (HRM) is about how people are managed and employed. It can be regarded as a philosophy about the ways in which people should be dealt with at work, which is underpinned by a number of theories relating to the behaviour of people and organizations. It is concerned with making a contribution to the improvement of organizational effectiveness through people, but it is, or should be, equally concerned with the ethical dimension  how people should be treated in accordance with a set of moral values. HRM involves the application of policies and practices in the fields of organization design and development, employee resourcing, learning and development, performance and reward and the provision of services that enhance the well-being of employees. These are based on human resource (HR) strategies which are integrated with one another and aligned to the business strategy.  The term ‘human resources’ can be criticized because it implies that people can be manipulated like any other factor of production. It’s increasingly being replaced by ‘people management’. But HRM is most common.  Whatever term is adopted, the approach should  be based on the principle laid down by Schneider (1987: 450) that: ‘Organizations are the people in them; that people make the place’. He went on to explain that ‘Positive job attitudes for workers in an organization can be expected when the natural inclinations of the persons there are allowed to be reflected in their behaviours by the kinds of processes and structures that have evolved there.’  As Keegan and Francis (2010: 873) noted, HR work is now ‘largely framed as a business issue’.  The emphasis is on business alignment and strategic fit. These are important requirements, but focusing on them can lead HR professionals to place less emphasis on employee needs and motivations when developing HR policy and practice. A simplistic view of the business imperative permits little room for considering how HR strategy should impact on individual employees. HRM indeed aims to support the achievement of business goals but equally, it should aim to build a relationship based on trust, openness and personal fulfilment. This part of the handbook covers the conceptual basis of HRM, including the various HRM models, the associated concept of human capital management, and the strategic framework within which HRM activities take place.

PART 2: DELIVERING HRM

PART Il CONTENTS 04 HR architecture — the HR system 05 The role of the HR function 06 The role of HR professionals 07 HRM and performance Introduction HR is delivered by means of the framework provided by the HR architecture of an organization, which consists of the HR system and HR practices and the HR model adopted for the organization; the provision of advice and services by HR professionals in the HR function working in conjunction with line management. HR techniques such as organization develop￾ment, selection interviewing and testing, talent management, performance management and total reward play an important part in the delivery of HR. But there is the danger that new and seemingly different techniques become ‘flavours of the month’, only to be quickly forgotten when they fail to deliver. Some time ago McLean (1981: 4) observed that: The history of the management of human resources is littered with examples of widely acclaimed techniques enthusiastically introduced by managers who are keen to find solutions to their ‘people’ problems, only to be discarded and discredited by the same disillusioned and increasingly cynical managers some time later. Times have not changed. The effective delivery of HR depends on using techniques which are tried, tested and appropriate, not ones which have been promoted vigorously as ‘best practice’ without supporting evidence. This part includes chapters on the HR architecture and system, the role of the HR function and the role of the HR professional. It also deals with a key aspect of HR delivery: the impact HR makes on performance.
