Human resource management (HRM) is the strategic and coherent approach to the management of an organization's most valued assets - the people working there who individually and collectively contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the business. The terms "human resource management" and "human resources" (HR) have largely replaced the term "personnel management" as a description of the processes involved in managing people in organizations. In simple words, HRM means employing people, developing their capacities, utilizing, maintaining and compensating their services in tune with the job and organizational requirement. Human resources management involves several processes. Together they are supposed to achieve the above mentioned goal. These processes can be performed in an HR department, but some tasks can also be outsourced or performed by linemanagers or other departments. When effectively integrated they provide significant economic benefit to the company.
HR PRACTICES
The main HR practices which are followed in most of the organization are:
Manpower planning
Manpower planning is the process by which a management determines how an organization should move from current manpower position to desired manpower position. Through planning, a management strives to have a right number and the right kind of people at right places, at the right time, to do things which result in both the organization and the individual receiving the maximum long range benefit.
Recruitment
Recruitment refers to the process of attracting, screening, and selecting qualified people for a job at an organization or firm. For some components of the recruitment process, mid- and large-size organizations often retain professional recruiters or outsource some of the process to recruitment agencies. The recruitment industry has five main types of agencies: employment agencies, recruitment websites and job search engines, "headhunters" for executive and professional recruitment, niche agencies which specialize in a particular area of staffing and in-house recruitment. The stages in recruitment include sourcing
candidates by advertising or other methods, and screening and selecting potential candidates using tests or interviews.
Induction, orientation
Induction is a technique, by which a new employee is rehabilitated into surroundings and introduced to the practices, policies and purposes of the organization. In other words, it is a welcoming process the idea is to welcome a newcomer, make him feel at home and generate in him a feeling that his job, however small, is meaningful and has significance as a part of the total organization. Orientation programmes usually covers things like employee compensation benefits, personnel policies, the employees daily routine, company organization and operations, and safety measures and regulations. The new employees supervisor is often given an orientation checklist, personnel policies, the employees daily routine, company organization and operation and safety measures and regulation. The orientation checklist helps to ensure that the supervisor has covered all of the necessary orientation.
Training and development

Training is a process of learning a sequence of programmed behavior. It is application of knowledge. It gives people an awareness of the rules and procedures
to guide their behavior. It attempts to improve their performance on the current job or prepare them for an intended job Development is a related process. It covers not only those activities that which improve job performance but also those which bring about growth of the personality; help individuals in the progress towards maturity and actualization of their potential capacities so that they become not only good employees but better individual. In the field of human resource management, training and development is the field concerned with organizational activity aimed at bettering the performance of individuals and groups in organizational settings. It has been known by several names, including employee development, human resource development, and learning and development.
Payroll
In a company, payroll is the sum of all financial records of salaries, wages, bonuses and deductions. In accounting, payroll refers to the amount paid to employees for services they provided during a certain period of time. Payroll plays a major role in a company for several reasons. From an accounting point of view, payroll is crucial because payroll and payroll taxes considerably affect the net income of most companies and they are subject to laws and regulations (e.g. in the U.S. payroll is subject to federal and state regulations). From ethics in business viewpoint payroll is
a critical department as employees are responsive to payroll errors and irregularities: good employee morale requires payroll to be paid timely and accurately. The primary mission of the payroll department is to ensure that all employees are paid accurately and timely with the correct withholdings and deductions, and to ensure the withholdings and deductions are remitted in a timely manner. This includes salary payments, tax withholdings, and deductions from a paycheck.
Employee benefit
Employee benefits and (especially in British English) benefits in kind (also called fringe benefits, perquisites or perks) are various non-wage compensations provided to employees in addition to their normal wages or salaries. Where an employee exchanges (cash) wages for some other form of benefit, this is generally referred to as a 'salary sacrifice' arrangement. In most countries, most kinds of employee benefits are taxable to at least some degree. Some of these benefits are: housing (employer-provided or employer-paid), group insurance (health, dental, life etc.), disability income protection, retirement benefits, daycare, tuition reimbursement, sick leave, vacation (paid and non-paid), social security, profit sharing, funding of education, and other specialized benefits. The purpose of the benefits is to increase the economic security of employees.
Performance appraisal
A performance appraisal, employee appraisal, performance review, or (career) development discussion[1] is a method by which the job performance of an employee is evaluated (generally in terms of quality, quantity, cost, and time) typically by the corresponding manager or supervisor. A performance appraisal is a part of guiding and managing career development. It is the process of obtaining, analyzing, and recording information about the relative worth of an employee to the organization. Performance appraisal is an analysis of an employee's recent successes and failures, personal strengths and weaknesses, and suitability for promotion or further training. It is also the judgment of an employee's performance in a job based on considerations other than productivity alone.
HRP MODELS:
An HRP model can conceptualize the entire HR activities and link it with the business purposes. Basically there are four types of HRP Models.
Classical Models:
y It attempts to mach the supply of labour and demand for it. y It involves the process of Investigating, Forecasting, Planning & Utilizing.
Standard Models:
y It is the most common planning approach and is basically a staff size and configuration approach. y It may unnecessarily increase the staff levels since competency requirements not taken in to account.
Strategy Models:
y To support the strategic business objectives of an organization, a strategy based HR planning process is more effective approach. y It translates business objectives into specific human resources programs and services.
Action driven Models:

y Here planning starts with current corporate strategic drive or existing business problems, e.g. higher labour cost, poor customer services etc. It is said that a company is as good as its people. They are the ultimate source of its competitiveness. Thus the role of an HR dept and HR professional becomes all the more important for choosing, retaining, developing their employee.

Clustered into two systems: control and commitment. Outcome measures: manufacturing performance (labour efficiency, scrap rate) and employee turnover. Controls: firm age, firm size, union status, business strategy. Method: Regression Findings: Commitment based HR systems associated with lower scrap rates and higher labour efficiency than control-based systems.
54
Researchers name: Huselid, M.A. (1995) Type of study: cross sectional Multi-industry: 968 US-owned firms with over 100 employees. HR measures: High performance work system scale. 13 items elicited two factors (i) employee skills and organizational structures items: formal job design, enhanced selectivity, formal training, quality of work program, quality circles, labour-management teams, information sharing programmes, formal grievance procedures, profit and gain-sharing plans, enhanced communications, (ii) Employee motivation items: formal appraisal, linked to compensation, merit in promotion decision rules. Outcome measures: turnover, productivity (log of sales per employee), corporate financial performance market based measure Tobins q, and accounting based measure gross rate of return on capital employed (GRATE). Controls: firm size, capital intensity, firm and industry levels of union coverage, industry concentration, growth in sales, R&D intensity, firm-specific risk, industry levels of profitability, net sales and total assets. Method: Regression analysis
55
Findings: High performance work systems have an economically and statistically significant impact on turnover, productivity and corporate performance. One standard deviation increase in HPWS is associated with a relative decrease of 7.05% in turnover, and on a per employee basis, a $27,044 more in sales and $18,641 and $3,814 more in market value and profits respectively.
56
Researchers name: Huselid, M.A. Jackson, S.E. and Schuler, R.S. (1997) Type of study: cross sectional Multi-method 293 publicly held US firms HR measures: strategic HRM scale (8 items including teamwork, communications, involvement, enhancing quality and developing talent to serve business in future) Technical HRM scale (describes perceptions f how well the HR function performs activities 8 items including recruitment, selection, training, performance appraisals and compensation administration) Professional HRM capabilities scale (describes expertise and skill relevant to performing excellently within HR function - 11 items Business related capabilities scale (describes the amount of business experience HR staff have had outside of HR function - 3 items) Outcome measures: employee productivity (net sales per employee, gross rate of return on assets, and profitability, Tobins q) Controls: union coverage, firm size, capital intensity, industry concentration, sales growth, R&D expenditures, stock price variability (beta) and firm industry. Method: Regression analysis
57
Findings: Significant relationship between strategic HRM and employee productivity, cash flow, and market value. No meaningful relationship between technical HRM and firm performance. On a per employee present value basis, a one standard deviation increase in overall HRM effectiveness corresponds to an estimated increase in sales per employee of 5.2. per cent , a cash flow of 16.3 per cent, and a market value of 6%.
Researchers names: Guest, D.E., Michie, J, Conway, N & Sheehan, M (2003) Type of study: Cross sectional and longitudinal Multi-industry, 366 firms with over 50 employees HR measures: 48 items on HRM covering nine main areas: recruitment and selection, training and development, appraisal, financial flexibility, job design, twoway communication, employment security and the internal labour market, singlestatus and harmonization, and quality. Outcome measures; labour turnover, absence and industrial conflict. Labour productivity (value of sales per employee) and financial performance (companys profit per employee). Controls: sector, trade union membership, part of multinational, presence of
58
consultative committee, staff committee, and single union deal, respondent holds HR Position, perceived importance of overall HR policy in terms of controlling for labour costs. Method: Telephone interview using structured questionnaire, regression. Findings: Using objective measures of performance, greater use of HR practices was associated with lower labour turnover and higher profit per employee, but showed no association with HR and productivity. There was a strong association between subjective estimates of HR and productivity and financial performance. The study supports the association between HRM and performance but does not show that HRM causes high performance.

2.2 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It is a plan of action for a research project and explains in detail how data are collected, analyzed and presented, so that they will provide meaningful information.
60
According to D. Slesinger and M. Stephenson, Research is manipulation of things, concepts, or symbols for the purpose of generalizing to extend, correct or verify knowledge, whether that knowledge aids in construction of theory or in practice of an art. RESEARCH DESIGN:A research design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis of data in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy in procedure. The research design is the conceptual structure within which research is conducted; it constitutes the blue print for the collection, measurement and analysis of data. DESCRIPTIVE research technique was adopted in this project. Descriptive research is a description of the state of affairs, as it exists at present. The main characteristic of this method is that the researcher has no control over the variable; he can only report what has happened or what is happening.
Sampling design:A sample design is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from a given population. It refers to the technique or the procedure the researcher would adopt in selecting items for the sample.
61
Type of Universe:The first steps in developing any sample design are to clearly define the set of objects, technically called the universe, to be studied. The universe can be finite or infinite. In this research analysis, FINITE universe was adopted, which means the number of items is certain. Sampling unit:The sampling unit is the basic unit containing the elements of the population to be sampled. It may be the element itself or unit in which the element is contained. The sample unit in the project consists of employees in (EDRC-B&F OC) one of the four newly restructured operating companies of ECC, Larsen &Toubro limited. Sample size:Sample size is a part of the population or a subset from a set of units by the same process or other, usually by deliberate selection with the objective of investigating the project of the parent population or set. This indicates the number of samples or employees. The sample size of the present study was 120 employees. SAMPLE METHOD The sampling technique adopted for the study was non probability sampling. The respondents were chosen on the basis of convenience sampling.
62
Convenience sampling:Nonprobability samples that are unrestricted are called convenient sampling. Convenience sampling refers to the collection of information from members of population who are conveniently available to provide it. Convenience sampling allows a large number of respondents to be interviewed in a very short time. DATA COLLECTION METHOD:The data collection method includes Primary data and Secondary data. Primary data:It is original in character. The primary data used for this project was collected using structured undisguised questionnaire with open ended & close ended question. The information was collected from employees of the organization. Secondary data:Secondary data includes data, which exists already and are directly applied to the study. Secondary data was collected with the help of websites, journals and also through personal discussion with employees. STATISTICAL TOOLS:The data collected was analyzed by employing the following statistical techniques:
63
y Frequency y Independent t Test y One way ANOVA The above statistical analysis were carried out in personal computer using software Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS), Windows, Version 16.0 Percentage analysis:Percentage refers to special kind of ration. It is used in making comparison between two or more series of data; it is used to describe relationship. Percentage is used to analyzing the data. Bar charts, Column charts and Pie charts were used to explain tabulation clearly. Independent t Test:It is a test of significance. It answers the question whether there is a statistically significant association between two variables. One Way ANOVA:Through ANNOVA one can investigate any number of factors which are hypothesized or said to be influence the dependent variable. The researcher can take
64
only one factor and investigate the differences amongst its various categories having numerous possible values.
65
2.3 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

Any research study will be restricted in scope by certain inherent limitations that are participated by the choice of the research design sampling procedure and respondents section. This study has the following limitation; The survey was conducted for restricted duration which was not sufficient for covering all the concepts of organization culture. The sample size is limited only to 120, which may not reflect the opinion of all the employees. The respondents may behave or give opinions differently at different times because of both dynamic business environment and also their psychological temperament. It is obvious that all statistical tools used have their own limitations which might influence the study.

Very least respondents are unsatisfied with the working conditions provided by the company. Less than 10% of the respondents replied that the company is not spending enough time and money on equal opportunity awareness.
93
4.2 SUGGESTIONS Although majority of the respondents agrees that the working conditions provided by the company are good, there are some employees who do not agree this. So the management should take more efforts to increase the working conditions of the employees because the absence of good working condition will de-motivate employees. Majority of the respondents say that they feel safe in working in the company and the organization ensures the wellbeing and gives emphasis on the wellness programme. The remaining replied neutral, this may be because of less work experience in the organization. So the management should give more emphasis on the induction and orientation programme of the employees so that the new joiners can know what is happening in the company very thoroughly
94
The management should take effective efforts to encourage employee suggestion , this will increase team spirit in working. The management must also take effective efforts to make the employees aware of the equal employment opportunities present inside the company because some feels that the company is not spending money and time for equal employment opportunity awareness.
