PRESENTATION:
This subject will provide you with an understanding of the different techiques used by Companies in an attempt to ensure human capital is more effective and productive . How people are managed in the workplace influences what they think about their work and their employer and therefore their behaviours and actions in the workplace. What the employer does and how they behave will impact on the way people feel about their work and the kind of commitment they are willing to put into it for their employer. And conversely the way people feel about how they are managed at work and their employment relationship may generate conflict and resistance to managerial controls. Human Resources analyses the employment relationship and the way people are managed in the workplace. It explores these issues not only in the context of the individual employee and their employer, but in the context of the wider workplace, the labour market and economic forces shaping the world of work, technological changes, employment regulations and social trends. The world of work is fast changing so an understanding of how this all affects the way people are managed in the workplace is of tremendous significance theoretically and practically. The employment relationship is not only an economic exchange of pay for effort, but also a legal contractual relationship and a social and psychological one. We explore all of these dimensions to develop a more rounded understanding of managing people in work.
