About this title

Synopsis

Human Resource Management offers a comprehensive and accessible analysis of contemporary theories and concepts in key human resources activities. It encourages students to think critically and evaluate the nature of HRM in order to develop a deeper understanding of employment relations. This fourth edition has been thoroughly updated including new material on: the contemporary context of HRM; new employment-related topics, such as flexibility, emotional labour, knowledge work; diversity in work organizations, a new discussion on workplace wellness; partnership strategies; ethics in HRM; and new legislation. Reflecting the growing emphasis on global management, it features a new chapter on International HRM.
