(P/B) A FRAMEWORK FOR HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

Παρουσίαση

A concise yet thorough review of essential HR management concepts.
A Framework for Human Resource Management provides students and practicing managers with a concise yet thorough review of essential HR management concepts - including fundamental practices, methods, topics, and relevant legal findings - in a highly readable and accessible format.
Features
Getting to the point - A Concise Overview for All Managers. The focus of this text is to make the information relevant to students of management - not just those who will specialize in human resources. In 390 pages and 10 chapters, this text covers the broad spectrum of basic HR practice, concepts, and techniques by distilling the essential HR material that the larger books contain and giving professors a more concise option to work with.
Making the connection - Realism. Each chapter of this text touches on, or provides examples of, how managers strategically use HR practices and technology in today's business environment. The end-of-chapter material also includes case incidents and 5 comprehensive cases to help students make the connection between theory and real-world application.
Dozens of new topics. Reliability, validity, generalizability, utility, person-job fit, bias, using the standard deviation rule in equal employment compliance, retaliation, job satisfaction and withdrawal, managing voluntary turnover, management's willingness to take a strike, cross training, and job hazard analysis.
Expanded coverage of strategic human resource management in Chapter 1, including discussions of HR Scorecards and strategy maps.
A new boxed feature, HR as a Profit Center, in most chapters presents actual examples of how human resource managers added measurable value to their companies. In addition, continuing their use from the 6th edition, the separate HR in Practice features provide all managers - not just HR managers - with actionable HR tools and guidelines.
A completely revised Chapter 8, now titled Managing Employee Ethics, Engagement, Retention, and Fair Treatment, which includes discussions of employee engagement, withdrawal, and retention, as well as managing ethics, and a new presentation (in Chapter 7) of how to create a market-competitive pay structure.
Expanded treatment of Career Management in Chapter 6 (Performance Management, Appraisals, and Careers) and of the ADDIE training process in Chapter 5 (Training and Developing Employees).
A new end-of-book module on Practical HR Tools for Managers, focusing on nuts-and- bolts human resource management tools, guidelines, and systems all managers can use, for instance, to comply with EEOC interview question guidelines. This module replaces the 6th edition's International HR module, with international HR issues still covered in special boxed features in most chapters.
Nine new videos with discussion questions and a synopsis for each video included at the end of each part of the textbook. (From the publisher)
