1. Definitions of HRM and SHRM
• Human Resource Management (HRM) A ti iti th t i t tt t d t i l Activities that managers engage in to attract and retain employees
and to ensure that they perform at a high level and contribute to theaccomplishment of organizational goals. It has five majorcomponents:
• HRM activities (or components) Recruitment and selection
MGT-101 Yiannos Rossides3
Training and development
Performance appraisal and feedback
Pay and benefits
Labor relations
• Strategic Human Resource Management
1. Definitions of HRM and SHRM
g gThe process by which managers design the components of
a human resource system to be consistent with each other,with other elements of organizational structure, and withthe organization’s strategy and goals. The objective of strategic HRM is the development of an HRM
MGT-101 Yiannos Rossides4
j g psystem that enhances the organization’s efficiency, quality,innovation, and responsiveness to customers.

2. The Legal Environment of HRM
• Local, state and national laws and regulations such as:• Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO)
The equal right of all citizens to the opportunity to obtain employment regardless The equal right of all citizens to the opportunity to obtain employment regardlessof their gender, age, race, country of origin, religion, or disabilities.
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces employment laws. Management of diversity is crucial Managers must take steps to ensure discrimination does not occur. In Cyprus during the last 4 years we had a major transformation of our labor laws due
to the harmonization with the EU laws. (example annual leave, parental leave, OSHetc)
• Contemporary challenges for managers

3. The Components of HRMA. Recruitment and Selection
• Note: Even though in your text book HR Planning and Job Analysis arementioned as part of the recruitment and selection process, I’d prefer todiscuss them before dealing with recruitment and selection in order to reflectth lit f i th i d t d b i S th d tthe reality managers face in their day-to-day business. So, they need toengage in two important activities: HR Planning and job analysis.
i. Human Resource Planning (HRP) Refers to all the activities that managers engage in to forecast their current
and future needs for human resources. HRP must be done prior to recruitment and selection Demand forecasts Estimates of the number and qualifications of employees the firm will
d
MGT-101 Yiannos Rossides7
need. Supply forecasts Estimates of the availability and qualifications of current workers and
those in the labor market.
Fig. 12-2 The Recruitment and Selection System
The figure 12-2 of your book shows that managers perform first HR l i d j b l i d th d t i thHR planning and job analysis and then determine the
recruitment and selection needs.

3. The Components of HRMA. Recruitment and Selection
Using outside suppliers and manufacturers to produce goods andservices
Using contract workers rather than hiring them. Outsourcing is more flexible for the firm. Outsourcing provides human capital at a lower cost.
• Problems with Outsourcing Loss of control over output; outsource contractors are not committed
MGT-101 Yiannos Rossides9
Loss of control over output; outsource contractors are not committedto the firm.
Unions are against outsourcing because of potential to eliminatemember’s jobs.
ii. Job analysis The process through which managers identify the job description
3. The Components of HRMA. Recruitment and Selection
The process through which managers identify the job descriptionmeaning the tasks, duties and responsibilities of a job (i.e. travel toLimassol twice a week, prepare budgets etc.) and the jobspecifications meaning the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs)needed to perform the job (i.e. driver’s license, Bachelor degree, workexperience). A job analysis should be done for each job in the organization. Job analysis methods:
Observing what current workers do
MGT-101 Yiannos Rossides10
Observing what current workers do. Having workers and managers fill out questionnaires.
Current trend is toward flexible jobs where tasks and duties are not easily definedin advance.

• Recruitment
3. The Components of HRMA. Recruitment and Selection
Activities that managers engage in to develop a pool ofcandidates for open positions (find and attract qualifiedcandidates).
• Selection The process that managers use to determine the relative
MGT-101 Yiannos Rossides11
qualifications of job applicants and their potential forperforming well in a particular job.
i. External Recruiting S ki t id th fi f l h h t k d t th
3. The Components of HRMA. Recruitment and Selection
Seeking outside the firm for people who have not worked at thefirm previously. Newspapers advertisements, open houses, on-campus recruiting, employee
referrals, and through the Internet.
External recruitment is difficult since many new jobs have specificskill needs. A multiple means approach to external recruiting works best
MGT-101 Yiannos Rossides12
A multiple-means approach to external recruiting works best.
BenefitsBenefits include large applicant pool, attract people with thenecessary KSAs, attract people up-to-date with technology andwith new ideas.

ii. Internal Recruiting
3. The Components of HRMA. Recruitment and Selection
Seeking to fill open positions with current employeesfrom within the firm.
Benefits of internal recruiting: Job candidates, their qualifications, and availability are already
known.
C l k h fi ’ l d f ili i h
MGT-101 Yiannos Rossides13
Current employees know the firm’s culture and are familiar withthe organization.
Internal advancement (promotion from within) can serve tomotivate employees.

• Managers try to determine this through several selection tools:Background information
Education, prior employment, and college major

3. The Components of HRMA. Recruitment and Selection
Measures of physical strength, and stamina for physicallydemanding jobs.
Measures must be job related to avoid discrimination.
Paper-and-Pencil Tests Ability tests assess if applicants have the right skills for the job.
Personality tests seek to determine if applicants possess traits

Performance TestsT t th t li t’ t bilit t f th
3. The Components of HRMA. Recruitment and Selection
Tests that measure an applicant’s current ability to perform thejob or part of the job such as requiring an applicant to take atyping speed test.
Assessment centers are facilities where managerial candidatesare assessed on job-related activities over a period of a fewdays.
MGT-101 Yiannos Rossides17
References Obtaining relevant information can be difficult due to legal
liability and privacy issues.
• Selection tools must be reliable and valid. R li bilit i th d t hi h th t l th thi
3. The Components of HRMA. Recruitment and Selection
Reliability is the degree to which the tool measures the same thingeach time it is used. Example: scores should be similar for the same person taking the same test
over time.
Validity is the degree to which the test measures what it issupposed to measure Example: how well a physical ability test predicts the job performance of a

Example: how well a physical ability test predicts the job performance of afirefighter.
Managers have both an ethical obligation and a legal duty todevelop good selection tools.

3. The Components of HRMB. Training and Development
i. Classroom Instruction Employees acquire skills in a classroom setting.
Includes use of videos, role-playing, and simulations.
ii. On-the-Job Training Employee learning occurs in the work setting as new worker does

the skills of current employees.
• Types of Developmenti V i d W k E i
3. The Components of HRMB. Training and Development
i. Varied Work Experiences Top managers have need to and must build expertise in many
areas. Employees identified as possible top managers are assigned different tasks
and a variety of positions in an organization.
ii. Formal Education
MGT-101 Yiannos Rossides22
Tuition reimbursement is common for managers taking classes forMBA or job-related degrees. Long-distance learning can also be used to reduce travel and other expenses
for managerial training.

p y j porganization.
• Performance Feedback The process through which managers share performance appraisal information
with subordinates, give them the opportunity to reflect on their own performance,and develop, with subordinates, plans for the future.
• Importance of Performance Appraisal & Feedback: facilitates decisionsabout pay raises, bonuses, promotions, transfers, training, terminations.Feedback encourages employee motivation and performance
MGT-101 Yiannos Rossides23
Feedback encourages employee motivation and performance.• Who appraises performance? Supervisors, self, peers, subordinates and
clients. The trend is the 360-degree appraisal which refers to aperformance appraisal by peers, subordinates, superiors, and clients whoare in a position to evaluate a manager’s performance.

• Types of Performance Appraisals
3. The Components of HRMC. Performance Appraisal &
Feedback
i. Trait Appraisals Assessing subordinates on personal characteristics that are
relevant to job performance.
Disadvantages of trait appraisals Employees with a particular trait may choose not to use that particular trait
on the job.

on the job.
Traits and performance are not always obviously linked.
It is difficult to give feedback on traits.
ii. Behavior Appraisals A h k f th i j b th t l ti d
3. The Components of HRMC. Performance Appraisal &
Feedback
Assesses how workers perform their jobs—the actual actions andbehaviors that exhibit on the job.
Focuses on what a worker does right and wrong and providesgood feedback for employees to change their behaviors.

• In order to encourage and motivate employees, managers must provideeffective performance feedback through:
• Formal appraisals
3. The Components of HRMC. Performance Appraisal &
Feedback
Formal appraisals An appraisal conducted at a set time during the year and based on performance
dimensions that were specified in advance.• Informal appraisals
An unscheduled appraisal of ongoing progress and areas for improvement. Effective Feedback Tips
Be specific and focus on behaviors or outcomes that are correctable and within aworker’s ability to improve.
Approach performance appraisal as an exercise in problem solving and solutionfi di t iti i i
MGT-101 Yiannos Rossides31
finding, not criticizing. Express confidence in a subordinate ability to improve. Provide performance feedback both formally and informally. Praise instances of high performance and areas of a job in which a worker excels. Avoid personal criticisms and treat subordinates with respect. Agree to a timetable for performance improvements.
3. The Components of HRMD. Pay and Benefits
• Pay Includes employees’ base salaries, pay raises, and bonuses Determined by characteristics of the organization and the job and levels of
performance Benefits are based on membership in an organization
• Pay level The relative position of an organization’s incentives in comparison with those
of other firms in the same industry employing similar kinds of workers Managers can decide to offer low, average or high relative wages. High wages attract and retain high performers but raise costs; low wages
MGT-101 Yiannos Rossides32
High wages attract and retain high performers but raise costs; low wagescan cause turnover and lack of motivation but provide lower costs.
• Factors affecting level of compensation are:a) What competitors pay b) Government laws c) Cost of livingd)Firm’s ability to pay e) Employee performance
17
• Pay Structure The arrangement of jobs into categories based on their relative importance to the
3. The Components of HRMD. Pay and Benefits
g j g porganization and its goals, level of skills, and other characteristics.
• Benefits Legally required: social security, workers’ compensation
Voluntary: health insurance, retirement, day care
Cafeteria-style benefits plans allow employees to choose the best mix of benefits forthem; can be hard to manage.

To make things easier to understand:
• Compensation refers to every type of direct or indirect reward employeesreceive in exchange for their work.
• Direct rewards or pay includes base salaries, pay raises, and bonuses.
• Indirect rewards or benefits include sick days, vacation days, medical and lifeinsurance and others. They can also be mandatory or voluntary.
3. The Components of HRME. Labor Relations
• Labor Relations The activities managers engage in, to ensure they have effective workings g s g g , s y g
relationships with the labor unions that represent their employees interests.
There are many laws regulating areas of employment.• Unions
Represent worker’s interests to management in organizations. The power that managers has over an individual worker causes workers to join
together in unions to try to prevent this. Not all workers want unions Union membership costs money in dues and
