HRM involves: HR planning Recruitment and selection Training and development Motivation Performance appraisal Career development Promotions and transfers
Definition
David Decenzo and Stephen Robbins defined HRM as:
A process consists of four functions- acquisition, development, motivation and maintenance of Human resources.
“Human Resource Management is concerned with the ‘people’ dimension in management. It is a process consisting of the acquisition, development, motivation and maintenance of Human resources.” Wendell French defines HRM as:
“the philosophy, policies, procedures and practices related to the management of people within the organization.”

Job Analysis, Job Design and Job Evaluation
Job Analysis Job Analysis is a systematic
exploration of the activities within a job.
It defines and documents the duties, responsibilities and accountabilities of a job and the conditions under which a job is performed. ?
Job Description
Called as Position Description Written statement of what jobholder does,
how it is done, under what conditions and why.
Common format: title; duties; distinguishing characteristics; environmental conditions; authority and responsibilities.
Used to describe the job to applicants, to guide new employees, and to evaluate employees.
Job Specification Also known as man or employee specifications. States minimum acceptable qualities and qualifications
necessary to perform the job. Used to select employees who have the essential
qualifications. Basic Contents: education, experience, age, physical,
mental and social characteristics.

Work Participation
Critical Incident Technique
Technical Conference
Continued… Observation method – job analyst watches employees
directly or reviews film of workers on the job. Individual interview method – a team of job incumbents
is selected and extensively interviewed. Group interview method – a number of job incumbents
are interviewed simultaneously. Work Participation Method- Job analyst himself performs
the work and gets first hand information. Critical Incidents Method- Any incident that contributes
positively or negatively to the job, a report of the same is analyzed to prepare a list of Do’s and Don’ts
Continued…
Structured questionnaire method – workers complete a specifically designed questionnaire.
Technical conference method – uses supervisors with an extensive knowledge of the job.
Diary method – job incumbents record their daily activities.
Checklist Method- Similar to Questionnaire method but more objective questions
The best results are usually achieved with some combination of methods.

Job Design
It is the process of determining the specific tasks and responsibilities to be carried out by each member of the organization and/or teams.
The main objective of Job Design is to integrate: Needs of Employees Requirements of Organizations
It helps in determining what, how, how many and in which order are the tasks to be done.

Techniques of Job Design
Work Simplification
Job Enlargement
Work Simplification
Breaking down of jobs into small tasks.
Salient features: Work is mechanically paced Employee works only on one part of the product Time required to train is drastically reduced
Negative Outcomes: Highly specialized and routine Boredom Lack of challenge Limited interaction
Job Enrichment Increasing the workers control over the planning and performance of a
job and participation in setting the organization policy.
It is also called vertical job loading.
According to Richard hackman and Greg Oldham, for enriching the jobs, attention should be paid to : Skill Variety Task identity Task significance Autonomy and feedback
Job Rotation Movement of an employee from one job to another.
Advantages: Reduces boredom and monotony. Broadens employees knowledge and skills Employee gets an opportunity to do a variety of work and interact
with new people
Disadvantages: Several monotonous jobs instead of one Disrupts work routine Not challenging in nature.
Job Enlargement
It is the process of increasing the scope of the job by adding more tasks to it.
Also called as horizontal job loading.
Advantages: Reduces monotony and boredom Training and developing more versatile employees.
Job Evaluations
It is a systematic, objective procedure for determining the value of a group of jobs for the organization
Specify relative value of each job in the organization.
Used to design equitable compensation program.
Advantages of Job evaluation Wage Structure
New jobs
Improves relations and reduces grievances
Uniformity
Rates the job not the man
Examines different job structures
Job hierarchy
Limitations of Job Evaluation Inaccuracy

Techniques of Job Evaluation
Job ranking method
Job classification method
Factor comparison method
The point method
Job Ranking Method
Jobs are arranged or ranked in their importance i.e from lowest to highest or vice versa.
Committee assesses the worth of each job on the basis of its title or on its content, if the latter are available.
Job Description can be used for ranking different jobs.
Ranked jobs are classified into groups, and jobs under particular groups may receive the same salary or salary range.
Example
Rank
1. Accountant
2. Accounts clerk
3. Purchase Assistant
4. Machine Operator
5. Typist
6. Office Boy
Monthly Salaries
Rs. 3000
Rs. 1800
Rs.1700
Rs. 1400
Rs. 900
Rs. 600
Job Classification Method As in the ranking method, the Job-grading method does not call for
a detailed or quantitative analysis of job factors.
Facts about the job are collected and matched with the grades which have been established by the raters (Committee)
Grades are arranged in the order of their importance
Lowest grade may cover jobs requiring greater physical work under close supervision, but carrying little responsibility.
Example
Class I: Executives: Further classification under this method may be Office manager, Deputy office manager, office superintendent, etc.
Class II: Skilled workers: Under this category may come cashier, receipts clerk, etc.
Class III: Semiskilled workers: Under this category may come machine operators, switchboard operators, etc.
Class IV: Unskilled workers: File clerks, office boys, etc.
Factor Comparison Method
Under this method, one begins with selection of factors .
Each factor is ranked individually with other jobs.
E.g.:-
Each job is ranked several times like,
1. Skill requirements,
2. Physical exertion,
3. Responsibility, and
4. Job conditions
Point Ranking Method PRM is one of the most widely used JE Plan.
It involves identifying number of factors ,sub factors and degree to which these factors are present in Job
Points are assigned for each degree of each factor
Grand Total of these points ,classify the Job Worth
Human Resource Planning
Introduction Human resource planning is a
process by which an organization ensures that it has the right number and kinds
of people at the right place at the right time capable of effectively and
efficiently completing those tasks that will help the organization achieve its overall strategic objectives.
Introduction
Linked to the organization’s overall strategy and planning to compete domestically and globally.
Overall plans and objectives must be translated into the number and types of workers needed.
Senior HRM staff need to lead top management in planning for HRM issues.
Characteristic of HRP
Futuristic Continuous Process Part of Corporate planning Quantitative and Qualitative Long term and short term plans
Objectives of HRP
Forecasting Human Resource Requirement Effective management of Change Realizing Organizational Goals Promoting Employees Effective utilization of Human Resource Meeting Personnel Requirements Prevent Disruption of Work Control Costs Training and Management Development

Voluntary Retirement Scheme
A voluntary retirement scheme (VRS) package is offered to employees as an incentive to retire earlier than their normal retirement age. The VRS package usually contains generous retirement benefits for certain employees.
Reasons for offering VRS Discontinuation of existing products and services Economical to sub- contract or outsource the service Low productivity norms of existing work force and refusal/ reluctance
of trade unions to give higher productivity Existing workforce is unable to sustain high output norms High wage level of existing workforce as a percentage of value added. Overmanning Inability of management to get changes implemented through existing
workforce Need for more space, hence requirement to shift to a new location Cost of VRS today is lower than tomorrows VRS Merger of companies Refusal of existing workforce to learn and acquire new/higher skills for
working on new equipment and/or new process
Problems faced by PSU banks with VRS plans
A sizeable portion of skilled/experienced workforce accepted the VRS creating an urgent need for upgradation of skills of employees remaining in the organization
A much greater number of officers (27.1%) applied for VRS as compared to clerical and subordinate staff (18.2%)
No remarkable improvement in the age profile of employees after VRS (42.4 yrs) as compared to the age profile before VRS (43.7 yrs)
Regional staff imbalance occurred as more employees from the western region opted for VRS. The poorest response was from the eastern and north-eastern region.
Case Study
Recruitment and Selection
Introduction
RecruitingOnce an organization identifies its
human resource needs through employment planning, it can begin the process of recruiting potential candidates for actual or anticipated organizational vacancies.
It brings together those with jobs to fill and those seeking jobs.
Definition
DeCenzo and Robbins:
“it is the process of discovering potential candidates for actual or anticipated organisational vacancies.”
Edwin Flippo:
“it is the process of searching for prospective employees and stimulating and encouraging them to apply for jobs in an organisation.”

Selection
Selection – the process by which an organization chooses from a list of applicants the person or persons who best meet the selection criteria for the position available, considering current environmental conditions
Definition
Dale Yoder:
“it is the process in which candidates for employment are divided in to two classes- those are to be employment and those who are not.”
Thomas Stone:
“it is the process of differentiating between applicants in order to identify and hire those with a greater likelihood of success on the job.”
Internal Environmental Factors Influencing Selection
Organization characteristics that can influence the selection process:SizeComplexityTechnological ability
External Environmental Factors Influencing Selection
Government employment laws and regulations
Size, composition, and availability of local labor markets
The Selection Procedure
Preliminary Interview
It is the first step in the selection procedure
Objectives of this interview is to discard those candidates who are totally unqualified for the job
Candidates who seem suitable are given application blanks to fill

Types of Interviews: Unstructured interview Structured interview Behavioral Interviews
Candidates are observed not only for what they say, but how they behave.
Role playing is often used. Stress Interviews.
Medical Examination
It helps to determine whether the candidate is mentally and physically fit to perform the job.
It prevents employment of employees suffering from contagious diseases.
It saves expenditure that the organization may have to incur for medical treatment of the candidate.
Reference Checks

Performance Appraisal
Introduction
Performance Appraisal is a technique of assessing, as impartially as possible, the attributes, strengths, weaknesses, capacity and attitudes of individual employee in relation to his job.
Purposes of a Performance Management System
Feedback - let employees know how well they have done and allow for employee input.
Development – identify areas in which employees have deficiencies or weaknesses.
It aims to provide data to managers with which they may judge future job assignments and compensation
Major uses of Performance Appraisal Personnel training Wage and salary administration Placement Promotions Discharge Job satisfaction Manpower planning Validation of selection procedures Feedback
The Appraisal Process
Appraisal Methods
Traditional Methods Graphic rating scales Ranking Paired comparison method Forced distribution method Forced choice method Checklist method Essay evaluation Confidential reports Field review method Critical incidents Group appraisal
Modern Methods Assessment centre MBO Behaviorally Anchored Rating
scales (BARS) Human Asset Accounting
Assessment centre
This not a technique of performance appraisal by itself. In fact, this is a system or organization where assessment of several individual is done by experts by using various techniques. These techniques used role playing, case studies etc.
Management by Objectives (MBO)
Includes mutual objective setting and evaluation based on the attainment of the specific objectives
Common elements in an MBO program are:• goal specificity• participative decision making• an explicit time period• performance feedback
Effectively increases employee performance and organizational productivity.
Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scales (BARS)
Appraiser rates employee on factors which are defined by behavioral descriptions illustrating various dimensions along each rating scale.
Steps in development of BARS:
1. Supervisors prepare a list of critical incidents
2. Group critical incidents into small clusters of performance dimensions
3. Group of experts are called. Reassign or classify the critical incidents in to the same performance dimensions
4. Experts rate “surviving” critical incidents
5. Final form of BARS consists of critical incidents that survived step 3 and 4.
Human Asset Accounting
It attempts to measure the monetary value of the human resources of the organization.
Evaluation is done in terms of costs and contributions of employees.
Difference between cost and contribution reflects the performance of employees
Other Methods of Performance Appraisal
Appraisal by peers/Buddy Appraisal by Subordinates Psychological Appraisal Self Evaluation 360 Degree Appraisal
360 Degree Appraisal
Factors that impede Performance Appraisal
Employee resistance Lack of time Lack of rewards Appraisal politics Lack of training Poor appraisal forms Avoid negative actions Organizational needs Poor reflection on the manager

A need or desire that energizes and directs behavior
It may be internal or external It is a six phased process:
Need Deficiency
Search and Choice of strategy
Goal-Directed Behavior
Evaluation of Performance
Reward or Punishment
What is Motivation
The act or process of stimulating to action, providing an incentive or motive, especially for an act.
Motivation is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it.
Difficulties in studying Motivation
Wide variety of human behaviors Inferential Motives vary from person to person Motives change with time
External Rewards
• Salary
• Working conditions
• Benefits
• Environment
Internal Rewards
• Achievement
• Responsibility
• Recognition
• Feedback
• Learning and growth
What motivates people

In addition to the external and internal awards, have:
• Employee engagement
• Challenging job profiles
• Keep them self-motivated
• Good projects
• Job rotation
• Job security / stability
• Good team, co-workers, bosses
Theories of Motivation
Theory X and Y Need Hierarchy theory ERG theory Two factor theory Equity theory Expectancy theory Behavior modification theory Goal setting theory
McGregor’s XY Theory
Theory X• Assumes that workers have little ambition, dislike
work, avoid responsibility, and require close supervision.
Theory Y• Assumes that workers can exercise self-direction,
desire responsibility, and like to work.
Assumption:• Motivation is maximized by participative decision
making, interesting jobs, and good group relations.
Continued…
Maslow’s-Hierarchy of Needs Theory
Needs were categorized as five levels of lower- to higher-order needs. Individuals must satisfy lower-order needs before
they can satisfy higher order needs. Satisfied needs will no longer motivate. Motivating a person depends on knowing at what
level that person is on the hierarchy. Hierarchy of needs
Lower-order (external): physiological, safety Higher-order (internal): social, esteem, self-
actualization
PHYSIOLOGICAL OR SURVIVAL NEEDSFood, drink, shelter, sex, warmth, physical comfort
Continued…
Physiological needs(air, water, food, rest, exercise, etc)
Safety needs(shelter, job security, retirement plan, insurance)
Love and belonging(children, friends, partners)
Self esteem(Ego, status, respect ,
fame, recognition, reputation, dignity)
Selfactualization(Confidence,
achievements,freedom)
Maslow’s Definition of a Self -actualized Person
Has no mental illness Satisfied in basic needs Fully exploited talents Motivated by values
McClelland’s Theory of Needs
AFFILIATION POWERACHIEVEMENT
There are three major acquired needs that are major motives in work.
•Achievement: The need for achievement is characterized by the wish to take responsibility for finding solutions to problems, master complex tasks, set goals, etc.•Affiliation: the need for affiliation is characterized by a desire to belong, an enjoyment of teamwork, a concern about interpersonal relationships, and a need to reduce uncertainty.•Power: the need for power is characterized by a drive to control and influence others, a need to win arguments, and a need to persuade and prevail.
ERG THEORY
Clayton Alderfer’s ERG theory is a variation of Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
Three groups of needs Existence needs: physical and material wants
Relatedness needs: desires for interpersonal relationships
Growth needs: desires to be creative and productive; to use one’s skills
Maslow’s and Alderfer’s Needs Theories
Highest-order needs
Most essential (prepotent) needs
Maslow’s Need Hierarchy Categories
Alderfer’s Needs Hierarchy Categories
Self-actualization

Existence
Both similar to and different from Maslow's need hierarchy
Satisfied and unsatisfied needs operate in much the same way
Movement upward is the same Movement downward is new

Fredrick Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory
Motivators Can increase job satisfaction Factors related to doing the job (work itself, responsibility, personal
growth, sense of achievement, recognition)
Hygiene factors Can prevent dissatisfaction, but cannot increase satisfaction Factors extrinsic to or surrounding the job (supervision, relations
with co-workers, working conditions, company policies and practices)

Neither satisfied nor dissatisfied
Hygiene factors must be satisfied first, leading to a state of being neither satisfied nor dissatisfied

J. Stacy Adam’s Equity Theory
Focuses on individuals’ comparisons of their own circumstances to those of others Inputs (age, experience, education, etc.) Outcomes (salary, benefits, titles, perks, etc.) Ratios of an individual’s input/outcome
versus that ratio of another person or people
Continued…
Continued… Employees who feed overrewarded may try to reduce
inequity by any of the below responses: Internal-physical- work harder Internal-psychological- discount the value of rewards External-physical- convince other workers to ask for more rewards External-psychological- choose someone else for comparision
Employees who feed underrewarded may try to reduce inequity by any of the below responses: Internal-physical – deliberately lower quality and quantity of work Internal-psychological- inflate the value of rewards External-physical- bargain for more rewards External-psychological- choose someone to compare himself more
favourably
Victor Vroom’s Expectancy Theory
• States that an individual tends to act in a certain way based on the expectation that the act will be followed by a given outcome and on the attractiveness of that outcome to the individual.
• Key to the theory is understanding and managing employee goals and the linkages among and between effort, performance and rewards.
• Effort: employee abilities and training/development
• Performance: valid appraisal systems
•Rewards (goals): understanding employee needs
Simplified Expectancy Model
Continued…
Expectancy Relationships Expectancy (effort-performance linkage)
• The perceived probability that an individual’s effort will result in a certain level of performance.
Instrumentality• The perception that a particular level of
performance will result in attaining a desired outcome (reward).
Valence• The attractiveness/importance of the performance
reward (outcome) to the individual.
Continued…
To influence employees’ motivation Identify rewards that are valued Strengthen subordinates’ beliefs that their
efforts will lead to valued rewards Clarify subordinates’ understanding of
exactly where they should direct their efforts Make sure that the desired rewards under
your control are given directly following particular levels of performance
Provide levels and amounts of rewards that are consistent with a realistic level of expected rewards
B.F. Skinner’s Behavior Modification theory
It states behavior depends on consequences, and that, if the consequences are controlled, then behavior also can be controlled
Reinforcement theory focuses on the impact of external environmental consequences on behavior.
Law of effect — impact of type of consequence on future behavior.
Operant conditioning:
• Developed by B.F. Skinner.
• Applies law of effect to control behavior by manipulating its consequences.
Operant conditioning strategies Positive reinforcement
Increases the frequency of a behavior through the contingent
presentation of a pleasant consequence.: eg: praise for good work
Negative reinforcement
Increases the frequency of a behavior through the contingent removal of
an unpleasant consequence. : eg: coming late prevents firing
Punishment
Decreases the frequency of a behavior through the contingent presentation of an unpleasant consequence.
Extinction
Decreases the frequency of a behavior through the contingent removal of an pleasant consequence. : eg: stop rewarding for suggestions

The focus has been on participation at higher levels.
Attitude of labor unions towards participation

Current days union leaders feel participation gives them an opportunity to get on the inside and express their view points before any action or decision is taken.
Most union leaders take a viewpoint which falls somewhere in between traditional and modern.
Limitations of Participation
Employees may become too independent
Occasional failure may demotivate employees
Great difficulty in adjusting Rather than acting as partners,
managers may play role of a judge and a critic

one Provide employees with adequate training Do not force the workers to participate Communicate clearly the areas of decisional freedom Realistic goals must be set The philosophy behind participation should always be kept in
mind Decisions should never be manipulated in the name of
