Management is a comprehensive
and thrilling subject. It is a
universal function because it is
essential to run any human undertaking.
Management is getting things done with and
through others. Here others refer
to employee or staff. From this point of view, management is nothing but
managing people at the work place. Thus management and human resource
management are the same or identical. It
is also true that management also deals with non-human resources. But, the main
focus is on managing people in the organization
effectively and efficiently. Managing people or human resources is a challenging
and difficult task because human resources are not identical; they are
different in terms of personality, likings and
dislikings, emotions, value and perception. A person may be qualified at
the entry level but he may be obsolete as time goes on unless he is not trained,
retrained and updated. It is the duty of
HR manager to help his people to grow and develop. During any stage of career, an
employee may be de-motivated and frustrated. His performance may not be up to
the mark. An HR manager needs to identify those employees related problems
quickly and addresses them without delay. Attracting, selecting, retaining and
motivating employees for higher performance are a challenging job for an HR
manager. As a result, HRM as a separate branch of the discipline is
gaining popularity with the growing size and complexity of organizations. HRM
as a subject helps a manager to select,
train, motivate, maintain and sustain people properly so that they can be able to
make a productive contribution to the organization. Without productivity
improvement, an organization cannot survive and flourish.
