Human Resource Management and Organizational Effectiveness,

Abstract

Although human resource management has been in existence since ages, only
recently there has been some major redirection in thought concerning its
importance as a discipline to the effectiveness of the organization. During
feudalistic era the human resource management was mostly around the relationship of owner and the servant, in the industrial era it was of owner and blue
collar worker and in the information era it is the management of knowledge
worker and therefore the approaches which has been in vogue in past to manage
servants and workers has to transform to manage a knowledge worker. It is
in this context where paradigm shift in the approach of a manager has to take
place to manage his men in the organization. The focus of this paper is not
merely to articulate the academic significance of various human resource
management processes but also to enable the managers to apply them in live
situation based on sound behavioural and management principle
