Introduction to HRM

Page 7 of 73
Evolution of HRM
Earlier references: In western countries HRM had its primitive beginning
in 1930s. Not much thought was given on this subject in particular and no
written records or documents interesting to note HRM concepts was
available, in ancient philosophies of Greek, Indian and Chinese. This is not
to suggest that industrial establishment and factories system, as it is known
today, existed in ancient Greece, India or china. The philosophy of managing
human being, as a concept was found developed in ancient literatures in
general and in Indian philosophy in particular.
Personnel functions: Till 1930s, it was not felt necessary to have a separate
discipline of management called “Personnel management”. In fact, this job
was assigned as part of the factory manager. Adam Smith’s concept of
factory was that it consists of three resources, land, labour and capital. This
factory manager is expected to “procure,
Process and peddle” labour as one of the resources. The first time when such
a specialist “person” was used; it was to maintain a “buffer” between
employer and employee to meet the “legitimate need” of employees.
However, it is the employer who decided what is “legitimate need” of
employees. In fact, the specialist “person” was more needed to prevent
“unionization” of employees. This was the case before 1930-s all over the
world.

Page 8 of 73
Environmental Influences on HRM: Since 1930s, certain developments
took place, which greatly contributed, to the evolution and growth of Human
Resources Management (HRM). These developments are given below:
 Scientific Management
 Labour Movements
 Government Regulations.

Need for the Study

 Shortage of skills.
Skills and knowledge people are always on short supply. Alternatively they
are too costly to hire from outside. The best alternative is to improve skill
and knowledge of existing employees.
 Technological Obsolescence.
Growth of technology takes places very fast. This will render current
technology obsolete in the future. There is a great need to upgrade
technology. This needs suitable training.
 Personal Obsolescence.
At the time recruitment employees possess certain of knowledge and skill.
As time passes knowledge becomes obsolete, unless it is updated by proper
training. This happens because of changes taking place in product
technology, production methods, procurement of better machines, setting up
of modern production lines, introduction of modern method of supervision
and information processing through MIS and EDO..
 Organization Obsolescence.

Page 9 of 73
Modern management has introduced a number of innovative steps in
functions of management like planning, organizing, controlling,
coordinating and directing. Organization which is impervious to such
changes is bound to fail and become obsolete.
 Upgrading Ability of Threshold workers.
Public policy provides reservation to disadvantaged sections of the society
like handicapped, minorities and dependents of deceased workers etc. All
these are threshold workers having less than minimum prescribed level of
knowledge and skill. They require extensive training to bring them up to the
minimum level of performance standard.

 Coercive training by government.

In order to provide better employability chances of unemployed youth,
certain governments taken initiative to mobilize resources available at
pubic/government and private sectors to outside candidates. One such
example is the “Apprentice Training ” conducted by govt. of India. A part of
expenditure incurred for this by private sectors are reimbursed by
government.
 Human capital
The latest thinking is to treat employees as “human capital”. The
expenditure involved is training and developments are now being considered
as an investment.

 Scope of Human Resource
Management
The Scope of HRM is in deed fast. All major activities in the working
life of worker from time of his entry in an organization until he / she leaves,
come under the preview of HRM. Specifically, the activities included are
Human Resource planning, Job analysis and design, Recruitment, Selection,
Orientation and placement, Training and development, Performance
appraisal and Job evaluation, employee and executive remuneration and
communication, employee welfare, safety and health, industrial relations and
the like.
HRM is becoming a specialized branch giving rise to a number of
specialized areas like :
Staffing
Welfare and Safety
Wages and Salary Administration
Training and Development

Scope of HRM

Human Resource Management in PCS :

Personnel/Human Resource of an undertaking is its important constituent.
Efficiency, Profitability and in fact the very existence of the undertaking will
depend on this constituents. Co-operation and dedication in performance on
the part of its personnel ends in the accomplishment of its objectives.
Therefore human resource is of immense importance since it involves
matters such as identifying, placing, evaluating, and developing individuals
at work and maintaining effective multilateral communication systems.
Human resources along with financial and material resources contribute to
production of goods and services in an organization.. In short HRM may be
defined as the art of procuring, developing and maintaining competent

Page 12 of 73
workforce to achieve the goals of an organization in an effective and
efficient manner.

Objectives of the HRM are to secure the following: -

1. Industrial peace: This is secured by excellent union management
relations, healthy inter-personal relationships, and promoting participative
management style and good industrial and labour relations.
2. Achieve High Productivity: The underlying objective brings to increase
the “quantity or volume” of the product or service for a given input,
productivity improvement programme is very significant in a competitive
environment.
3. Better quality of working life of employees: This involves both intrinsic
and extrinsic factors connected with work.
4. Obtain and sustain competitive advantage through empowerment :
continuous improvement and innovative steps being the two essential
ingredients to achieve and sustain competitive advantage, today’s industries
are “knowledge based” and “skill intensive”.
5. Cordial relationship between the employer and employees.
6. Personnel research functions.
7. Proper orientation and introduction to the new employees.
BACKGROUND SCENARIO
William James of Harvard University estimated that employees could
retain their jobs by working at a mere 20-30 percent of their potential. His
research led him to believe that if these same employees were properly
motivated, they could work at 80-90% of their capabilities. Behavioral
science concepts like motivation and enhanced productivity could well be

Page 13 of 73
used for such improvements in employee output. Training could be one of
the means used to achieve such improvements through the effective and
efficient use of learning resources.
With soft skills training gaining so much momentum, it is imperative to
understand if it serving the right purpose or not. With this background, I plan
to research if training indeed is proving to be effective in the behavioral
area.

The following steps must form the basis of any training activity:
Determine the training needs and objectives.
Translate them into programs that meet the needs of the selected
trainees.
Evaluate the results.

There are few generalizations about training that can help the practitioner.
Training should be seen as a long term investment in human resources using
the equation given below:
Performance = ability (x) motivation
Training can have an impact on both these factors. It can heighten the skills
and abilities of the employees and their motivation by increasing their sense
of commitment and encouraging them to develop and use new skills. It is a
powerful tool that can have a major impact on both employee productivity
and morale, if properly used.

 Recruitment

Recruitment refers to the process of finding possible candidates for a job or

function, usually undertaken by recruiters. It also may be undertaken by an
employment agency or a member of staff at the business or organization
looking for recruits. Advertising is commonly part of the recruiting process,
and can occur through several means: through online, newspapers, using
newspaper dedicated to job advertisement, through professional publication,
using advertisements placed in windows, through a job center, through
campus graduate recruitment programs, etc.

Suitability for a job is typically assessed by looking for skills, e.g.

communication skills, typing skills, computer skills. Evidence for skills
required for a job may be provided in the form of qualifications (educational
or professional), experience in a job requiring the relevant skills or the
testimony of references. Employment agencies may also give computerized
tests to assess an individual's "off-hand" knowledge of software packages or
typing skills. At a more basic level written tests may be given to assess
numeric and literacy. A candidate may also be assessed on the basis of an
interview. Sometimes candidates will be requested to provide a résumé (also
known as a CV) or to complete an application form to provide this evidence.

Research and Methodology

Statement of Problem:

Page 41 of 73
 Human resource has gained a wide acceptance in the industry. The
objective of the study was to access employee satisfaction. This has led to
the need for more experienced and skillful employee where to be trained to
meet the organization requirement.

People in an organization are the most productive resource and also

the most expensive organization spends on this resource in order to extract
the best contribution out of them. A small judgment error in rectifying a non
retainable employee could lead to decal losses in terms of time and money
spend on his training and job socialization as also initial losses in terms of
job held up due to vacancy in position and other related job being postponed
in today’s fast pace corporate world, time management being important,
such errors are not called for therefore more stress is laid on efficient,
effective and potential worker for the organization corporate world today
recruits people directly and prudently rather simply hire and fire people.

The mobilization of money, the construction of factory building, the

purchase and installation of machines and procurement of materials are the
initial measures taken by a management in the establishment of a company.
The recruitment and selection of people to man and machines and auxiliary
services form a part of these initial measures.

Without people to man and plant, the collection of physical resources

by itself will not serve only purpose. The hiring of men and women required
is more important than the marshalling of physical resources in the
establishment of the company and the attainment of its objectives. Note that

Page 42 of 73
the hiring of people is confirmed to the initial stages in the formation of an
enterprise. The employment is continuous one and it ends only when the
enterprise eases to exist.

More important, an enterprise grows and diversifies, and so there is

great need for men and women. Recruitment and selection, therefore
becomes a specialized function and is disclosed by the personnel
department. In act, employments are one of the foremost functions of the
human resource development.

Therefore, it is necessary to know about the employment function i.e.,

recruitment, selection, interviews, placing and orientation of personnel’s. HR
is the major inputs for any organization to achieve its objectives. Therefore
it’s important for any organization to spend time and money till the right
personnel are found.
