Human resource management is a strategic approach to the structure, motivation, development and management of an organization's employees, based on the four following principles: the effective management of human resources is the key to an organization's success; success is most easily achieved if personnel policies are closely linked with the organization's corporate objectives; managerial behaviour and the organizational climate exert a major influence on the achievement of excellence; and that the total integration of manpower is essential to success. Using these principles as a base, this book examines the concepts and theories of successful human resource management and describes the processes that produce the best results from people.
