VARIOUS DEFINITIONS


Laughing Carter McNamara, MBA, PhD defines Human Resources Management (HRM) as being:

“a variety of activities, and key among them is deciding what staffing needs you have and whether to use independent contractors or hire employees to fill these needs, recruiting and training the best employees, ensuring they are high performers, dealing with performance issues, and ensuring your personnel and management practices conform to various regulations. Activities also include managing your approach to employee benefits and compensation, employee records and personnel policies.”


>> Well, it is right for Mr. McNamara to say that in HRM managing the employee is the main job. Also they are responsible in facilitating and choosing the best employee they could hire.

Laughing Torrington and Hall (1987) define personnel management as being:

“a series of activities which: first enable working people and their employing organizations to agree about the objectives and nature of their working relationship and, secondly, ensures that the agreement is fulfilled" (p. 49).

>>In their point of view, personnel management could be applicable in the working relationship of the employee. It is how they work together and ensure that they have done the right thing to do for their organization.

Laughing Miller (1987) suggests that HRM relates to:

"..those decisions and actions which concern the management of employees at all levels in the business and which are related to the implementation of strategies directed towards creating and sustaining competitive advantage" (p. 352).


>>Like McNamar, Miller stresses that HRM is concern on how employee are treated in an organization. How they are manage to be consistent and more competent in an industry.

Laughing (Cherrington, 1995, p. 5). Defines HRM as being:

“ responsible for how people are treated in organizations. It is responsible for bringing people into the organization, helping them perform their work, compensating them for their labors, and solving problems that arise"


>> In this definition, the main responsibility that HRM could give is to treat their employee in accordance to the rules and regulations of the company. Also, to ensure that their people are performing their job and getting the right salary and benefits in exchange to their labors.

Rolling Eyes To sum it all, personnel management and human resource management is almost the same.

Personnel management mostly do their role to manage the paperwork around hiring and paying people. While human resource management is responsible in staffing, training and helping to manage people so that people and the organization are performing at maximum capability in a highly fulfilling manner.

So, their main responsibility is to give their employee a great working experience. For them to develop their individual capabilities and at the same time bring success to the company where they work.
