THEORETICAL BACKGROUND

The importance of human resource management is to improve the

productive contribution of people to the organization in ways that are

strategically, ethically, and socially responsible.

Personnel departments in organizations were often perceived as the

health and happiness crews. Their primary job activities involved planning

company picnics, scheduling vacations, enrolling workers for health – care

coverage and planning retirement parties. They have become more technical

and require employees with greater skills. Professionals in the human

resource area are important elements in the success in any organization.

Definitions of Human Resource Management

“Personnel Management is the planning; organizing, directing and

controlling of the procurement, development, compensation, integration,

maintenance and separation of human resource to the end that individual

organizational and social objectives are accomplished.”…..Edwin Flippo.B

“Personnel Management is the recruitment, selection, development,

utilization of and accommodation to human resources by organizations. The

human resources of an organization consist of all individuals regardless of

their role, who are engaged in any of the organizations activities.”…….French

Functions of Human Resource Management:

The basic function of Human Resource Management consists of the following:

1. Procurement: Procurement is concerned with the “Obtaining of the proper

kind and number of personnel necessary to accomplish organization goals.” It

deals specifically with such subjects as the determination of human resources

requirements and their recruitment, selection, and placement.

2. Development: Development has to do with the increase of skill, through,

training, that is necessary for proper job performance. This is an activity of

very great importance and will continue to grow because of the changes in

technology, the realignment of jobs, and the increasing complexity of the

managerial task.

3. Compensation: The adequate and equitable remuneration of personnel for

their contributions for organization objectives.

4. Integration: It is concerned with the attempts to effect a reasonable

reconciliation of individual, societal and organizational interest. It rests upon a

foundation of belief that significant overlapping of interests do exit in our

society.

5. Maintenance: Maintenance is concerned with the perpetuation of this

state; the maintenance of willingness is heavily affected by communications

with employees.

Page 4: Article on Recruitment

6. Separation: If the first function of personnel management is to secure the

employee, it is logical that the last should be the separations and return of that

person to society. Most people do not die on the job. The organization is

responsible for meeting certain requirements of due process in separation.

Man power planning

Man power planning is defined as the process by which an

organization should move from its current manpower position to its desired

manpower position. Through manpower planning management strives to have

the right number and right kind of people at the right place at the right time,

doing things which result in both the organization and the individual receiving

maximum long run benefit.

Need for man power planning:

Organization needs personal with the necessary qualifications skills,

knowledge, work experience, aptitude for work. These are provided through

effective man power planning. Large number of persons has to be replaced

who have grown old, or who retire, die or become incapacitate because of

physical or mental aliments, there is a constant need for replacing such

personal.

Human resources planning is essential because of frequent labour

turnover which is unavoidable and even beneficial because it arise from

factors which are socially and economically sound such as voluntary quits,

discharge, marriage promotions.

number but also determines the action plan of all the functions of personnel

management.

through training development.

Process of Human resource Planning

The process of Human Resource planning is one of the most crucial,

complex and continuing managerial functions.

Process Steps

A. Objectives of Human Resources Planning: Human Resource planning

fulfils individuals, organizational and national goals, “the ultimate mission or

purpose is to relate future human resources to future human resources to

future enterprise needs so as to maximize the future return on investment in

human resources.” The main purpose is one of matching or fitting employee

abilities to enterprise requirements, with an emphasis on future instead of

present arrangements.

Page 8: Article on Recruitment

B. Estimating the future organizational structure of forecasting the

manpower requirements: These estimates, the number and type of

employees needed have to be determined. Many environmental factors affect

this determination. They include business forecasts, expansion and growth,

design and structural changes, management philosophy, government policy,

product and human stalls mix, and competition.

C. Auditing Human Resources: This is done through what is called “stalls

inventory”. A skills inventory contains data about each employee’s skills,

abilities, work preferences and other items of information are which indicate

his overall value to the company.

it is necessary to prepare a job analysis, which records details of training,

skills, qualifications, abilities, experience and responsibilities which are

needed for a job.

E. Developing a Human Resources Plans: The developing and

implementation of the human resources plans, which consists in finding out

the sources of labour supply, with a view to making an effective use of these

sources.

higher vacancies by promotion and lower level positions by recruitment from

the labour market.

payrolls and personnel records, such as the application for employment.

of an efficient work force.”

Yoder

“The process of searching for prospective employees and stimulating

them to apply for jobs in the organization.”

Edwin B. Flippo

Objectives of the Recruitment

1. To attract people with multi – dimensional skills and experiences that suit

the present and future organizational strategies.

2. To induct outsiders with a new perspective to lead to lead the company.

3. To infuse fresh blood at all levels of the organization.

Sources of Recruitment

Sources are those who prospective employees are available like

employment exchanges while techniques are those which stimulate the

prospective employees to apply for jobs like nomination by employees,

advertising promotion etc.

The sources of recruitment are broadly dividend into internal sources

and External sources. Internal sources are the sources with in an

organizational pursuit. External sources are sources outside organizational

pursuits.

Internal Sources

Many large organizations will attempt to develop their own employees

for positions beyond the lower level. These can occur through an internal

search of current employees, who have either bid for the job, been identified

through the organizations human resources management system, or even

been referred by a fellow employee. The advantages of such sources –“a

promote from within wherever possible.” Policies are:

Page 13: Article on Recruitment

13

• It is good public relations.

• It builds morale.

• It encourages good individuals who are ambitious.

• It improves the probability of a good selection, since information on the

individual’s performance is readily available.

• It is less costly than going outside to recruit.

• Those chosen internally already know the organization.

External sources

It is customary for organizations to open up recruitment efforts to the

external community. These efforts include advertisements, employment

agencies, schools, colleges and universities, professional organizations and

unsolicited applicants.

Advertisements

There is a trend toward more selective recruitment in advertising. This can be

affected in at least two ways, when an organization wishes to communicate to

the public that it has a vacancy advertisement is one of the most popular

methods used. How ever, where the advertisement is placed is often

determined by the types of job.

A number of factors influence the response rate to advertisements.

Employment agencies

Additional screening can be affected through the utilization of

employment agencies, both public and private. Today, in contract to their

former unsavory reputation, the public employment agencies in the several

states are well regarded particularly in the fields of unskilled, semi-skilled, and

Page 14: Article on Recruitment

14

skilled operative jobs. In the technical and professional areas, however, the

private agencies appear to be doing most of the work. Many private agencies

tend to specialize in particular type of worker and job, such at sales, office,

executive or engineer. A recent innovation, the videotaped interview,

promotes more effective decision making with easier scheduling and more

time saving for the hiring organization.

Schools, colleges and universities

Educational institutions at all levels offer opportunities for recruiting

recent graduates. Most education institutions operate placement services

where prospective employees can review credentials and interview

graduates. Most also provide employees an opportunity to witness a

“prospective employees.” Performance through co-operative arrangements

and internships.

The educational level required for the job involves a high –school

diploma, specific vocational training, or a college background with a

bachelors, Master’s or doctoral degree, educational institutions are an

excellent source of potential employees. While educational institutions are

usually viewed as sources for in experienced entrants to the work force, it is

not uncommon to find individual with considerable work experience using an

education institutions placement service.

Professional organizations

Many professional organizations, including labour unions, operate

placement service for the benefit of their members. The professional

organizations include such varied occupations as industrial engineering,

Page 15: Article on Recruitment

15

psychology, accounting, legal, and academics. These organizations publish

rosters of job vacancies and distribute these lists to members.

Professional organizations, however, can also apply sanctions to

control the labour supply in their discipline. In those professional organizations

where the organization placements service is the focal point for locating

prospective employees, and where certain qualifications are necessary to

become a member, the professional organization can significantly influence

and control the supply of prospective applicants.

Unsolicited applications

Unsolicited casual applications, whether they reach the employer by

better, telephone or in person, constitute a source of prospective applicants.

Although the number of unsolicited applicants depends on economic

conditions. The organizations image and the job seekers perception of the

types of jobs that might the available, this source does provide an excellent

supply of stock piled applicants. Unsolicited applications made by

unemployed individuals, however, generally have a short life. Those

individuals who have adequate skills and who would be prime candidates for

a position in the organization if a position were currently available usually find

employment with some other organization that does have an opening.

Constraints on Recruitment

The ideal recruitment efforts will bring in a satisfactory number of

qualified applicants who will take the job if it is offered, the realities cannot be

ignored. Constraints on recruitment effort commit human resources recruiters’

freedom to recruit and select a candidate of their choice. There are five

specific constraints.

Page 16: Article on Recruitment

16

1. Image of the organization

2. Attractiveness of the job

3. Internal organizational policies

4. Government influence

5. Recruiting costs

Recruitment Methods

Recruitment sources indicate where human resources may be

procured, the recruitment methods deal with how these resources should be

tapped. As soon as manpower manager has determined the personal

qualities required on the part of an individual to fill a vacant position and

visualized the possible sources of candidates with these qualities.

There are three tier classifications of recruitment method – direct,

indirect and third party.

Direct Method

Direct Method is the traveling recruiting at schools, colleges,

management institutes and university departments. Traveling recruiters are

designated as “personnel scouts’ looking for engineers, technicians,

specialists and rare skills, this type of recruiting is performed in co- operation

with the placement bureau of the educational institutions providing assistance

in attracting students, arranging interview and making available space and

student resumes.

Other direct methods include sending recruiters to establish exhibits at

jobs fairs, using mobile camps to visit shopping centers in rural areas and

places where the unemployed might be contracted. Indeed, trade shows,

country fairs and allied business shows provide opportunities for advertising

Page 17: Article on Recruitment

17

the company as a good place to work as well as displaying products of the

company.

Indirect Method

The most frequently used method or technique or recruitment is

advertisement in publications such as newspapers, magazines and trade

journals as well as technical and professional journals. The advertisement

should indicate information about the organization and the job providing an

opportunity to a potential candidate to contact the recruitment office in

confidence.

Indirect methods include radio advertising and television

announcements. These methods are usually used in critical shortage areas.

Some times, the use of radio and television advertisement is coupled with

newspaper advertising and home visits. Another indirect method of

advertising frequently used in a notice board placed at the gate of company.

Third party Methods

The most frequently used third- party methods are public and private

employment agencies. Public employment exchanges have been largely

concern with factory workers and clerical jobs. They also provide help in

recruiting profession employees. Private agencies provide consultancy

services and charge a fee. They are usually specialized for different

categories of operations, office workers, salesman, supervisory and

management personnel.

Other third- party methods includes the use of trade unions. Labour

management committees have usually demonstrated the effectiveness of

trade unions as methods of recruitment.

Selection

After identifying the sources of human resources searching for

prospective employees and stimulating them to apply for jobs in an

organization. The management has to perform the function of selecting the

right employees at the right time. The obvious guiding policy in selection is the

intention to choose the best qualified and suitable job candidate for each

unfilled job. The objective of the selection decision is to choose the individual

who can successfully perform the job from the pool of qualified candidates.

Definition

“The hiring process is of one or many ‘go, no- go’ gauges. Candidates

are screened by the application of these tools. Qualified applicants go on to

the next hurdle, which the unqualified are eliminated.”

…... Yoder

The selection procedure is the system of functions and devices

adopted in a given company to ascertain whether the candidate’s

specifications are matched with the job specifications and requirements or

not.

The selection procedure cannot be effective until the unless:

1. Requirements of the job to be filled have been clearly specified (job

analysis, etc.)

2. Employee specifications (physical, mental, social, and behavioral, etc.)

have been clearly specified.

3. Candidates for screening have been attracted.

Thus, the development of job analysis, Human Resource planning and

recruitment are necessary prerequisites to the selection process. A break

Page 20: Article on Recruitment

20

down in any of these processes can make even the best selection system

ineffective.

Selection Process

Selection of personnel in an organization is a crucial, complex and

continuing function. The ability of an organization to attain its goals effectively

and to develop in a dynamic environment largely depends upon the

effectiveness of its selection programmed. If right personnel are selected, the

remaining functions of personnel management became easier, the

employee’s contribution and commitment will be at optimum level and

employee- employer relations will be congenial. In an opposite situation where

the right person is not selected, the remaining functions of personnel

management, employee- employer relations will not be effective. If the right

person is selected, he is a valuable asset to the organization and if faculty

selection is made, the employee will become a liability to the organization.

Steps in selection process

The following are involved in the process of selection:

1 Job analysis 7. Tests

2. Recruitment 8. Final interview

3 Application form 9. Medical examination

4. Written examination 10. Reference checks

5. Preliminary Interview 11. Line Manager’s decision

Training and Development

Introduction

Organization and individual should develop and progress

simultaneously for their survival and attainment of mutual goals. So every

modern management has to develop the organization through human

resource development. Employee training is a specialized function and is one

of the fundamental operative functions for human resources management.

Definitions

“Training as the act of increasing the skills of an employee for doing a

particular job.”

Edwin B. Flippo

“Training as the organized procedure by which people learn knowledge and

skill for a definite purpose.”

Dale S. Beach

Objectives of training

Training is mainly job- oriented. The overall aim of a training programme is to

fill in the gap between the existing and the desired pool of knowledge, skills

and attitude.

The main objectives of training are as follows.

1. To impact the basic knowledge and skill to the new entrants and enable

them to perform their jobs well.

2. The equip the employees to meet the changing requirements of the job and

the organization.

Page 28: Article on Recruitment

28

3. To teach the employees the new techniques and ways of performing the

job or operations.

4. To prepare employees for higher level tasks and build up a second line of

competent officers.

Methods of Training: The most commonly used methods of training are

given below:

1. Vestibule Training

2. On – the – job Training

3. Off –the –job Training

1. Vestibule Training: This is also known as “training – centre training “.

Under this method, the employees are trained at a separate training centre

called vestibule. Such training centre is specifically set up within the plant

itself to train the employees. Vestibule training is more suitable for those

situations in which large numbers of employees are to be trained at the same

time for the same kind of work.

2.on – the - job training: On – the – job training method is considered more

effective and suitable for providing training to the personnel working at

operative level of organization. This method is less expensive and less time-

consuming because the employees get trained side by side with the

performance of regular job. Some of the major techniques of on – the- job

method of training are as under.

A. Coaching: Coaching is learning through on – the –job experience. In

coaching, superior teaches job knowledge and skill to the subordinates

emphasizing on learning by doing.

Page 29: Article on Recruitment

29

B. Under Study: Under this method, superior imparts training to subordinate

at his under – study. Study method the trainee is to work with the superior

who is holding job currently for some period of time with a purpose to get

known to the job.

C. Job rotation: This method gives an opportunity to the trainee to

understand the problems of employees on other jobs and respect them. This

method is also called “channel method of development.

D. Job Instruction: This method is also known as “training through step – by-

step.” The trainer appraises the performance of the trainee, provides feedback

information and corrects the trainee.

3. off – the –job training

A. Lecture method: The lecture method is traditional and direct method of

instruction. Lectures are formal organized talks by the training specialist. The

lecture method can be used for very large groups which are to be trained with

in a short time.

B. Conference or discussion method: A conference is a formal meeting

conducted in accordance with an organized plan. Problems of common

interest are discussed. A conference may be divided into small groups for

intensive discussions.

C. Programmed instruction: This method incorporates a pre –arranged and

proposed acquisition of some specific skills or general knowledge. The

subject- matter to be learned is presented in a series of carefully planned

sequential units.
