Look for various definitions of personnel management and human resource management and their authors and sources (minimum of 5). Critique each.


Arrow Human Resource Management (HRM) is the function within an organization that focuses on recruitment of, management of, and providing direction for the people who work in the organization. (http://humanresources.about.com/od/glossaryh/f/hr_management.htm)


Idea hrm - it's a basic division of a company, wherein in here the whole employees of the company comes, it is liable to all the manpower that the company needs, its main function is to provide the company the better and well organized staff. It is also liable for the termination of the employees.


Arrow Torrington and Hall (1987) define personnel management as being:
“a series of activities which: first enable working people and their employing organizations to agree about the objectives and nature of their working relationship and, secondly, ensures that the agreement is fulfilled".


Idea The definition about HRM by Torrington and Hall is considered a fact, but the workforce must have the necessary resources and workforce needed to accomplish its target. Time-preservation is a must to meet the deadline. And as such for the quality of the job given, a specific training program must be conducted for the new and the current employees so that continues flow will be maintained in the company.


Arrow While Miller (1987) suggests that HRM relates to:
".......those decisions and actions which concern the management of employees at all levels in the business and which are related to the implementation of strategies directed towards creating and sustaining competitive advantage".


Idea In other words, HRM helps managing human relations. It is the process of attracting, developing, and maintaining a quality workforce. In attracting a quality workforce, human resource staff should know the kind of employees they want to hire and the jobs that are suited for them. In developing, the management should set standards to achieve quality performance. And lastly, to maintain a quality workforce there should be compensation and benefits, retention and turnover and the employees should know their rights. Having these characteristics in a HRM, it is possible to sustain competitive advantage.

Arrow "Human resource management is responsible for how people are treated in organizations. It is responsible for bringing people into the organization, helping them perform their work, compensating them for their labors, and solving problems that arise" (Cherrington, 1995).


Idea Human resource management should see to it that all employees of an organization should be given enough profit, suitable salaries and benefits including bonuses, loans, etc. HRM should also see to it that the rights of the people in an organization are being practiced so that there would be no maltreating taken place. Another, is that HRM is responsible for solving problems that may arise between the people in the organization and the organization itself.
