Emerging HRM functions
Increasing organizational size
and its complexity, transition from traditional to professional management,
changing social and cultural norms, globalization of industry and availability
of information technology are constantly changing the profile of
HRM functions. The present day HRM manager has to play a more dynamic role in
not only performing the maintenance functions but should think of more creative
ways to satisfy human aspirations to provide the competitive edge to
organizations on a sustainable basis.
Personnel Management
Institution of Personnel
Management, United Kingdom, has defined personnel management as follows:
“Personnel management is that part of management function which is primarily concerned with the human relationship, within the organization. Its objective is the maintenance of those relationships on a basis which, by consideration of well being of the individual, enables all those engaged in the undertaking to make their maximum contribution to the effective working of that undertaking”.
The various points that emerge from the above definition are:
1. Personnel Administration is a management function.
2. Primary consideration is human relationship.
3. Focus is on the well-being of the people.
4. Management is the development of people, not directing them.
5. Ultimate aim is to make the people contribute maximum to the organization.
