Shifts in the economy, globalization, domestic diversity, and technology have created new demands for organizations, and propelled the field in some completely new directions. However, we believe that these challenges also create numerous opportunities for HR and organizations as a whole. Thus, the primary purposes of this article are to examine some of the challenges and opportunities that should influence the future of HR. We also consider implications for future research and practice in the field.Keywords: Future of human resource management, Globalization, Knowledge economy Diversity, Technology1.Change from a manufacturing to a service or knowledge economyOne of the major challenges influencing the future of HR processes is the change from a manufacturing to a service or knowledgebased economy. This new economy is characterized by a decline in manufacturing and a growth in service or knowledge as the core of the economic base. A service economy can be defined as a system based on buying and selling of services or providing something for others (OxfordDictionary, 2014a). A knowledge economy is referred to as the use of information or knowledge to generate tangible and intangible value (Business Dictionary, 2014a). Some economists argue that service activities are now dominating the economies of industrialized nations, and knowledge-intensive services or businesses are considered a subset of the overall service economy (Anderson & Corley, 2003).The rise of the knowledge economy has placed new demands on organizations and prompted changes in organizational goals and HR practices. Many of the traditional HR processes were designed during the industrial era, and thus focused largely on manufacturing organizations that were concerned with converting raw materials, components, and parts into finished goods that meet customers' expectations. However, many of the assumptions underlying those traditional HR processes may not be effective with the new service or knowledge organizations. For example, traditional HR practices assume that jobs should be narrowly defined, supervisors should control workers, and efficiency and short term results should be emphasized (Trice & Beyer, 1993). In contrast, knowledge organizations stress that employees' knowledge and skills have a major impact on organizational success, and employee retention is important because individuals' skills are not substitutable.Knowledge organizations also tend to design jobs broadly so as to encourage innovation, autonomy, continuous improvement, and participation in decision making. Given that individuals with unique skills and abilities are essential in knowledge organizations, the new job requirements have created a shortage and increased competition for talented workers in many fields (e.g., software engineering, nursing). Additionally, the change in the economy has resulted in the displacement and unemployment of people who do not have the skills needed for knowledge-oriented jobs (e.g., Bell, Berry, Marquardt, & Green, 2013; Karren & Sherman, 2012). These changes imply that nations need to alter their educational systems to meet job demands in new organizations (Gowan, 2012). The goals of knowledge organizations should continue to bring about changes in HR processes in the future (e.g., Schuler, Jackson, Jackofsky, & Slocum, 1996). For instance, it can be expected that HR practices will employ broad based recruiting to ensure that they uncover skilledapplicants, design jobs to emphasize autonomy and participation in decision-making, use team oriented structures to enhance collaboration and innovation, stress training and employee skill development, and provide incentives that foster employee identification, innovation, and retention. HR will need to shift its emphasis to employee retention, and meeting the varied needs of knowledge workers. Some of these new practices have already been implemented in organizations, but many organizations still use HR practices that do not support knowledge-oriented organizational goals. Future HR processes will need to be modified if knowledge organizations are to be successful. Research will also be needed to examine the effectiveness of these new practices.Although we considered the new knowledge economy as a challenge for HR in organizations, it can also be viewed as an opportunity for change. Given that the skills and abilities of knowledge workers are key to the success of new organizations, the transformation to a knowledge economy provides opportunities for the HR function to become a priority in organizations. As a result, we believe that HR will become more of a critical function in organizations, and the field should be viewed as more essential to the overall success of the organizations.2.Rise in globalizationA second factor calling for changes in HR processes is the rise in globalization. Globalization in this context refers to organizations that operate on a global or international scale (Oxford Dictionary, 2014b). Organizations operating in a global environment face a number of new challenges including differences in language and culture of employees, and variations in social, political and legal systems. Multinational corporations (MNCs) are large companies operating in several countries that are confronted with new questions, including how to create consistent HR practices in different locations, how to develop a coherent corporate culture, and how to prepare managers to work in a diverse cultural environment (Sparrow, 2007).Research on HR in the international context has focused on three approaches to understanding the issues that arise in global environments: international, comparative,and cross-cultural HR (Parry, Stavrou-Costea, & Morley, 2011). International approaches focus on HR strategies, systems, and practices in different socio-cultural contexts and different geographic territories (Parry et al., 2011). It also outlines the anatomy of MNCs, and considers the unique set of HR issues that occur in these contexts (Budhwar & Sparrow, 2002). Although researchers differ on the factors that affect HR practices in global environments, most agree that the following variables influence these systems: (a) contextual variables (such as the host country's legal system, cultural distance between host country and employees' country), (b) firm-specific variables (such as the stage of internationalization, type of industry, link between strategy and structure), and (c) situational variables (such as staff availability, need for control, locus of decision making) (e.g., Budhwar & Sparrow, 2002; Schuler, Dowling, & De Cieri, 1993; Welch,1994).Comparative HR explores the context, systems, and national patterns of HR in different countries, and discusses the idiosyncrasies of various institutions and economic environments (e.g., Aycan et al., 2000; Isenhour, Stone, & Lien, 2012a; Parry et al., 2011). Most of the research on comparative HR indicated that HR practices differ across nations, and are aligned with national cultures (Stone & Stone-Romero, 2008). Two examples of that research include a study by Schuler and Rogovsky (1998) that assessed the relations between Hofstede's national culture dimensions and the design of HR practices. These authors found that a national emphasis on individualism was positively correlated with a company's use of pay-for-performance pay systems. In addition, Gooderham, Nordhaug, and Ringdal (1999) explored cross-national differences in HR practices across European nations. Their results revealed that individualistic nations (e.g., UK, France, and Spain) were more likely to use calculative HR strategies (e.g., pay for performance) than collective nations (e.g., Scandinavian countries). Conversely, collective nations (Scandinavian countries) were more likely to use collaborative practices (e.g., employee participation) than individualistic countries (e.g., Germany, France and Spain).Finally, cross-cultural HR examines the degree to which individuals' cultural values influence the acceptance and effectiveness of HR practices (Aycan et al., 2000;Gelfand, Erez, & Aycan, 2007; Isenhour, Stone, & Lien, 2012b; Stone, Stone-Romero, & Lukaszewski, 2007). Most of the theories in HR and Organizational Behavior (OB) were developed in Western nations and assume that the cultural values of individuals in organizations are homogeneous (Gelfand et al., 2007). However, it is clear that employees' cultural values differ in U.S. and global contexts, and organizations need to align their HR processes with these cultural values (e.g., Gelfand et al., 2007; Stone & Stone-Romero, 2008). For example, cross-cultural research indicated that individuals' cultural values shape their reward preferences, and their reactions to negative feedback (e.g., Gelfand et al., 2007; Joshi & Martocchio, 2008; Stone, Johnson, Stone-Romero, & Hartman, 2006; Stone-Romero & Stone, 2002). In particular, individuals who valued individualism preferred reward allocation systems based on equity or proportionality, but those who valued collectivism preferred equality-based allocation systems (Sama & Papamarcos, 2000). As a result, pay-for-performance systems may motivate employees who are individualistic, but group-based or profit-sharing systems may be more effective with those who value collectivism (e.g., Joshi & Martocchio, 2008; Miller, Hom, & Gomez-Mejia, 2001). Furthermore, research by Stone-Romero and Stone (2002) revealed that individuals who endorse collectivism were more likely to accept negative feedback than those who stress individualism.Given that most organizations are operating in a global environment, we expect that the field will pay even more attention to these issues in the future. One reason is that the employment rates of U.S.-based MNCs have grown consistently over the past decades, and they now employ over 34.5 million workers in multiple countries (Bureau of Economic, 2013). It is anticipated that the numbers of MNCs will continue to expand over time, and HR practices will need to be congruent with these new multicultural and complex contexts. As a result, we expect that future research in HR will focus on the effectiveness and acceptance of HR practices in global environments.Even though we have considered globalization as a challenge for organizations, we believe that it also provides many new opportunities. For instance, globalizationshould expand markets for products and services, and may enhance creativity and innovation because organizations will become more culturally diverse. Research showed consistently that diversity increases innovation and creativity, and this should also apply to the field of HR (van Knippenberg, De Dreu, & Homan, 2004). In particular, HR in global contexts will have to use creative solutions for attracting, motivating, and retaining diverse employees. For example, they may have to use unique rewards systems (e.g., cafeteria or flexible reward systems) to ensure that they meet the needs of workers from different cultural backgrounds (e.g., Stone, Deadrick, Lukaszewski, & Johnson, 2015). Of course, research will be needed to examine the effectiveness of these new approaches.3.Growing domestic diversityApart from changes in the economy and globalization, organizations are also faced with major shifts in the composition of the U. S. population. In particular, it is expected that our population will be older and more ethnically diverse by 2060 (U.S. Bureau of Census, 2014). For instance, by 2060 one in five Americans will be 65 years of age or older, and the number of working age people in the population (ages 18 to 64) will decrease from 62.7% to 56.9%. Along with the age-related changes, the work values of younger generations are expected to be different than previous groups (e.g., Baby Boomers). As a result, organizations will need to develop HR practices that are aligned with the primary goals and the values of multiple generations of employees (Cennamo & Gardner, 2008; Twenge, Campbell, Hoffman, & Lance, 2010).3.1.Increased age and generational diversityAlong with the aging workforce come many new challenges for HR. For instance, given the shortage of skilled workers there is a growing concern about the retention of skilled baby boomers. One reason for this is that baby boomers often have unique skills and abilities that are critical to organizational success, and companies are justifiably worried about retaining them in their roles until qualified replacements can be found or trained. In order to retain these individuals, organizations will need toincrease flexible work arrangements, allow part-time work, provide a supportive environment, and employ recognition systems to motivate them to stay with the organization (Armstrong-Stassen, Schlosser, & Zinni, 2012; Cheung & Wu, 2013; Shacklock & Brunetto, 2011).Another challenge facing organizations is that they will be staffed by members of multiple generations, and members of generations differ in terms of work values, attitudes, and behaviors (Cennamo & Gardner, 2008; Twenge et al., 2010). As a result, organizations will have to modify their HR practices in order to attract and retain skilled members of all of these groups. For example, recent research indicated that baby boomers (born 1946 to 1964) placed a strong emphasis on hard work and achievement, valued intrinsic rewards, and stressed loyalty to the organization (Cennamo & Gardner, 2008; Twenge et al., 2010). In contrast, members of generation X (born 1965–1981) were more likely to value extrinsic rewards, leisure time, steady employment, work family balance, and promotion opportunities than baby boomers (Cennamo & Gardner, 2008; Twenge et al., 2010). Research also indicated that the values of generation Y were somewhat similar to those of generation X (born 1982–1999; i.e., they valued leisure time, work–family balance, extrinsic rewards, status), but they were more likely to emphasize freedom than either generation X or baby boomers. In addition, members of generation Y stressed extrinsic rewards less than generation X, but both generations X and Y reported greater intentions to leave organizations than baby boomers (Twenge et al., 2010).Given these differences in values, organizations are faced with the complex challenge of aligning reward and compensation systems with the values of multiple generations. For example, they may need to expand beyond merely static pay and benefits and incorporate more flexible reward systems. In particular, they might identify the reward preferences of individuals, and develop cafeteria reward systems that provide employees with a total sum for their overall compensation, thus allowing them to select different rewards and benefits (e.g., one person might select vacation time in lieu of pay, whereas others might select pay instead of time off from work; Stone‐Romero, Stone, & Salas, 2003).3.2.Expanded ethnic diversityThere will also be dramatic change in the racial and ethnic make-up of our society. Today, ethnic minorities make up about 37% of the population, but estimates indicate they will comprise 57% of the nation by 2060 (U.S. Bureau of Census, 2014). It has also been projected that the U.S. will become a majority–minority nation by 2043, and the numbers of Hispanic–Americans (Hispanic) will more than double in the coming years (U.S. Bureau of Census, 2014). By 2060, one in three people in the U.S. will be Hispanic.Even though there has been relatively little HR research on the cultural values of ethnic minorities in the U. S., some studies found that, on average, they have different values than Anglo-Americans (Bell, Marquardt, & Berry, 2014; Guerrero & Posthuma, 2014; Stone & Stone-Romero, 2008). For example, Hispanics, African–Americans, Asian–Americans, and Native Americans are, on average, more likely to endorse collective values than Anglo-Americans (Guerrero & Posthuma, 2014; Stone et al., 2006; Triandis, 1994). In contrast, Anglo-Americans are, on average, more likely to stress individualism than their counterparts, but it should be cautioned that there are within group differences in cultural values for all of these sub-groups (Betancourt & Lopez, 1993).Given the transformation in the composition of the U.S. population, current HR practices may be less effective with employees from diverse backgrounds than those from the dominant group. The primary reason for this is that traditional HR processes were designed for a homogeneous set of employees with individualistic cultural values, and the new workforce is likely to have value systems based on collectivism and familism (e.g., Gelfand et al., 2007; Stone & Stone-Romero, 2008). Thus, organizations will have to have their HR practices modified so that they are aligned with the values of new generations, and the cultural values of diverse employees. As noted above, members of different ethnic subgroups often have distinctive reward preferences, and unique work values, and should react differently than Anglo-Americans to traditional HR processes.Thus, in order to attract and retain subgroup members, organizations may have toalter their current reward and benefit systems to meet the needs of these employees. For example, many ethnic subgroup members are more familistic and collective than AngloAmericans (Phinney, 1996), so they may prefer that organizations offer opportunities for teamwork, work–family balance, time off from work, and group based reward systems. As a result, organizations that develop cafeteria compensation and benefits systems that provide flexibility in terms of reward and benefit allocations may be more attractive to the new workforce than traditional reward systems. For instance, those employees who value familism can choose an extra week of vacation time to spend with their families in lieu of pay or other benefits. Organizations will be able to use these flexible compensation plans to attract talented applicants from all ethnic groups.In view of the coming changes in generational and domestic diversity, organizations are likely to modify their future HR practices to meet the needs of employees with diverse values. To date, most of the research on domestic diversity has focused on unfair discrimination and relational demography (e.g., Stone‐Romero et al., 2003; van Knippenberg et al., 2004). We believe that future HR research will need to be expanded and dig deeper into the value differences, reward preferences, and unique work roles of the new diverse workforce.In our discussion above, we viewed changes in generational and ethnic diversity as a challenge for organizations. However, they can also be considered opportunities for organizations to utilize the many talents and skills that these individuals bring to the workforce, and should provide a wide array of individuals with the chance to display their skills and talents. Furthermore, the altered composition of the workforce should help organizations reach broader markets for their products and services, and increase the innovation and creativity in organizations (van Knippenberg et al., 2004). They should also prompt organizations to develop new HR practices that will meet the needs of all members of the workforce (e.g., cafeteria reward systems) (Stone et al., 2006).4.Emerging use of technologyOver the past 30 years, one of the major drivers of change in HR has been the increased use of information technology (hereinafter referred to as technology) to collect, store, and utilize data for decision-making (e.g., Gueutal & Stone, 2005; Strohmeier, 2007; Strohmeier & Kabst, 2009). Technology, especially, the World Wide Web, has transformed key HR processes in organizations (e.g., e-recruiting, e-selection, e-training), and modified the nature of jobs and the relationships between individuals and organizations (Kiesler, Siegel, & McGuire, 1984). For example, it has enabled organizations to use the Internet to advertise jobs, and made it possible for applicants to apply for jobs online (e.g., Dineen & Allen, 2013). In addition, organizations are using various forms of technology to deliver training to employees (e.g., the Internet, intranet systems, video conferencing, online simulations; Salas, DeRouin, & Littrell, 2005). Research on the use of technology to facilitate HR processes indicated that it typically enhances efficiency, and decreases costs associated with HR transactions (e.g., Dulebohn & Johnson, 2013; Dulebohn & Marler, 2005; Strohmeier, 2007). However, some researchers argued that there is no clear evidence that it helps HR meets its primary goals of attracting, motivating, and retaining talented employees (see Stone et al., 2015, for a detailed discussion of influence of technology and the future of HR).Despite the increased efficiency and cost savings associated with the use of technology in the field of HR, researchers maintained that there are a number of limitations associated with using current technologies to manage HR processes (e.g., Stone et al., 2015;Stone‐Romero et al., 2003). For instance, information technologies are often static and use one-way communication systems that do not allow applicants or employees to ask questions or gain advice from HR professionals (e.g., benefits). As a result, the technologies can be impersonal, inflexible, and create an artificial distance between supervisors and employees. Likewise, the use of technology for training may be less engaging than traditional methods, and may not give trainees the opportunity to practice or gain feedback. Furthermore, technology may actually transfer the work of HR departments to line managers or employees, which may reduce overall productivity in organizations (Stone‐Romero et al., 2003).In spite of possible limitations associated with using technology to manage HR processes, it will continue to transform the field in the future. Furthermore, it can be argued that new technologies will emerge that should decrease some of the major drawbacks associated with current systems. For instance, a number of researchers argued that the use of new interactive technologies (e.g., Web 2.0, social media, virtual simulations or job fairs, chat rooms, cloud computing, mobile devices) should decrease some of the weaknesses associated with current systems (see Dineen & Allen, 2013; Stone et al., 2015; Sullivan, 2014). For example, the use of social media, chat rooms, and high definition cloud computing should enable applicants and employees to engage in an interactive dialogue with recruiters or managers. Similarly, the use of virtual reality should provide applicants with opportunities to attend virtual job fairs, give supervisors the ability to mentor subordinates, and offer trainees the chance to participate in virtual training simulations. All of these virtual environments should increase the degree to which technology-based HR processes are personal, flexible, interactive, engaging, and decrease the interpersonal distance between employees and supervisors. Although these arguments seem plausible, research will be needed to examine the effectiveness and acceptance of these new HR processes.Despite the fact that we viewed technology as a challenge in the sections above, it should be noted that it also provides new opportunities for the field of HR. For instance, research showed that technology often decreases the administrative burden in HR, increases efficiency, and allows the field to contribute to the strategic direction of organizations (Stone & Dulebohn, 2013). To date, there is no evidence that it helps organizations achieve its primary goals, but we believe that new interactive technologies will facilitate the attraction and retention of critical employees (Stone et al., 2015). One reason for this is that it will allow supervisors and HR professionals to engage in more frequent interaction and communication with employees. As a result, they will be able to identify and meet the needs of critical employees, and ensure that they remain with the organizations. It may also enable organizations to make better HR decisions based on objective information or decision support systems (Dulebohn & Johnson, 2013). Furthermore, it may facilitate interactions with stakeholders insideand outside the organization. For example, supervisors may be able to communicate with external customers in order to improve employees' performance, and HR professionals should be capable of staying abreast of innovative practices used by other organizations (see Ulrich & Dulebohn, 2015, for a detailed discussion of these issues).中文译文:影响人力资源管理未来的挑战和机遇摘要如今,人力资源(HR)管理领域正面临着巨大的变革压力。

Globalization in this context refers to organizations that operate on a global or international scale (Oxford Dictionary, 2014b).

Multinational corporations (MNCs) are large companies operating in several countries that are confronted with new questions, including how to create consistent HR practices in different locations, how to develop a coherent corporate culture, and how to prepare managers to work in a diverse cultural environment (Sparrow, 2007).Research on HR in the international context has focused on three approaches to understanding the issues that arise in global environments: international, comparative,and cross-cultural HR (Parry, Stavrou-Costea, & Morley, 2011).

Most of the theories in HR and Organizational Behavior (OB) were developed in Western nations and assume that the cultural values of individuals in organizations are homogeneous (Gelfand et al., 2007).

S. population. In particular, it is expected that our population will be older and more ethnically diverse by 2060 (U.S. Bureau of Census, 2014). For instance, by 2060 one in five Americans will be 65 years of age or older, and the number of working age people in the population (ages 18 to 64) will decrease from 62.7% to 56.9%. Along with the age-related changes, the work values of younger generations are expected to be different than previous groups (e.g., Baby Boomers). As a result, organizations will need to develop HR practices that are aligned with the primary goals and the values of multiple generations of employees (Cennamo & Gardner, 2008; Twenge, Campbell, Hoffman, & Lance, 2010).3.1.Increased age and generational diversityAlong with the aging workforce come many new challenges for HR. For instance, given the shortage of skilled workers there is a growing concern about the retention of skilled baby boomers. One reason for this is that baby boomers often have unique skills and abilities that are critical to organizational success, and companies are justifiably worried about retaining them in their roles until qualified replacements can be found or trained. In order to retain these individuals, organizations will need toincrease flexible work arrangements, allow part-time work, provide a supportive environment, and employ recognition systems to motivate them to stay with the organization (Armstrong-Stassen, Schlosser, & Zinni, 2012; Cheung & Wu, 2013; Shacklock & Brunetto, 2011).Another challenge facing organizations is that they will be staffed by members of multiple generations, and members of generations differ in terms of work values, attitudes, and behaviors (Cennamo & Gardner, 2008; Twenge et al., 2010). As a result, organizations will have to modify their HR practices in order to attract and retain skilled members of all of these groups. For example, recent research indicated that baby boomers (born 1946 to 1964) placed a strong emphasis on hard work and achievement, valued intrinsic rewards, and stressed loyalty to the organization (Cennamo & Gardner, 2008; Twenge et al., 2010). In contrast, members of generation X (born 1965–1981) were more likely to value extrinsic rewards, leisure time, steady employment, work family balance, and promotion opportunities than baby boomers (Cennamo & Gardner, 2008; Twenge et al., 2010). Research also indicated that the values of generation Y were somewhat similar to those of generation X (born 1982–1999; i.e., they valued leisure time, work–family balance, extrinsic rewards, status), but they were more likely to emphasize freedom than either generation X or baby boomers. In addition, members of generation Y stressed extrinsic rewards less than generation X, but both generations X and Y reported greater intentions to leave organizations than baby boomers (Twenge et al., 2010).Given these differences in values, organizations are faced with the complex challenge of aligning reward and compensation systems with the values of multiple generations. For example, they may need to expand beyond merely static pay and benefits and incorporate more flexible reward systems. In particular, they might identify the reward preferences of individuals, and develop cafeteria reward systems that provide employees with a total sum for their overall compensation, thus allowing them to select different rewards and benefits (e.g., one person might select vacation time in lieu of pay, whereas others might select pay instead of time off from work; Stone‐Romero, Stone, & Salas, 2003).3.2.Expanded ethnic diversityThere will also be dramatic change in the racial and ethnic make-up of our society. Today, ethnic minorities make up about 37% of the population, but estimates indicate they will comprise 57% of the nation by 2060 (U.S. Bureau of Census, 2014). It has also been projected that the U.S. will become a majority–minority nation by 2043, and the numbers of Hispanic–Americans (Hispanic) will more than double in the coming years (U.S. Bureau of Census, 2014). By 2060, one in three people in the U.S. will be Hispanic.Even though there has been relatively little HR research on the cultural values of ethnic minorities in the U. S., some studies found that, on average, they have different values than Anglo-Americans (Bell, Marquardt, & Berry, 2014; Guerrero & Posthuma, 2014; Stone & Stone-Romero, 2008). For example, Hispanics, African–Americans, Asian–Americans, and Native Americans are, on average, more likely to endorse collective values than Anglo-Americans (Guerrero & Posthuma, 2014; Stone et al., 2006; Triandis, 1994). In contrast, Anglo-Americans are, on average, more likely to stress individualism than their counterparts, but it should be cautioned that there are within group differences in cultural values for all of these sub-groups (Betancourt & Lopez, 1993).Given the transformation in the composition of the U.S. population, current HR practices may be less effective with employees from diverse backgrounds than those from the dominant group. The primary reason for this is that traditional HR processes were designed for a homogeneous set of employees with individualistic cultural values, and the new workforce is likely to have value systems based on collectivism and familism (e.g., Gelfand et al., 2007; Stone & Stone-Romero, 2008). Thus, organizations will have to have their HR practices modified so that they are aligned with the values of new generations, and the cultural values of diverse employees. As noted above, members of different ethnic subgroups often have distinctive reward preferences, and unique work values, and should react differently than Anglo-Americans to traditional HR processes.Thus, in order to attract and retain subgroup members, organizations may have toalter their current reward and benefit systems to meet the needs of these employees. For example, many ethnic subgroup members are more familistic and collective than AngloAmericans (Phinney, 1996), so they may prefer that organizations offer opportunities for teamwork, work–family balance, time off from work, and group based reward systems. As a result, organizations that develop cafeteria compensation and benefits systems that provide flexibility in terms of reward and benefit allocations may be more attractive to the new workforce than traditional reward systems. For instance, those employees who value familism can choose an extra week of vacation time to spend with their families in lieu of pay or other benefits. Organizations will be able to use these flexible compensation plans to attract talented applicants from all ethnic groups.In view of the coming changes in generational and domestic diversity, organizations are likely to modify their future HR practices to meet the needs of employees with diverse values. To date, most of the research on domestic diversity has focused on unfair discrimination and relational demography (e.g., Stone‐Romero et al., 2003; van Knippenberg et al., 2004). We believe that future HR research will need to be expanded and dig deeper into the value differences, reward preferences, and unique work roles of the new diverse workforce.In our discussion above, we viewed changes in generational and ethnic diversity as a challenge for organizations. However, they can also be considered opportunities for organizations to utilize the many talents and skills that these individuals bring to the workforce, and should provide a wide array of individuals with the chance to display their skills and talents. Furthermore, the altered composition of the workforce should help organizations reach broader markets for their products and services, and increase the innovation and creativity in organizations (van Knippenberg et al., 2004). They should also prompt organizations to develop new HR practices that will meet the needs of all members of the workforce (e.g., cafeteria reward systems) (Stone et al., 2006).4.Emerging use of technologyOver the past 30 years, one of the major drivers of change in HR has been the increased use of information technology (hereinafter referred to as technology) to collect, store, and utilize data for decision-making (e.g., Gueutal & Stone, 2005; Strohmeier, 2007; Strohmeier & Kabst, 2009). Technology, especially, the World Wide Web, has transformed key HR processes in organizations (e.g., e-recruiting, e-selection, e-training), and modified the nature of jobs and the relationships between individuals and organizations (Kiesler, Siegel, & McGuire, 1984). For example, it has enabled organizations to use the Internet to advertise jobs, and made it possible for applicants to apply for jobs online (e.g., Dineen & Allen, 2013). In addition, organizations are using various forms of technology to deliver training to employees (e.g., the Internet, intranet systems, video conferencing, online simulations; Salas, DeRouin, & Littrell, 2005). Research on the use of technology to facilitate HR processes indicated that it typically enhances efficiency, and decreases costs associated with HR transactions (e.g., Dulebohn & Johnson, 2013; Dulebohn & Marler, 2005; Strohmeier, 2007). However, some researchers argued that there is no clear evidence that it helps HR meets its primary goals of attracting, motivating, and retaining talented employees (see Stone et al., 2015, for a detailed discussion of influence of technology and the future of HR).Despite the increased efficiency and cost savings associated with the use of technology in the field of HR, researchers maintained that there are a number of limitations associated with using current technologies to manage HR processes (e.g., Stone et al., 2015;Stone‐Romero et al., 2003). For instance, information technologies are often static and use one-way communication systems that do not allow applicants or employees to ask questions or gain advice from HR professionals (e.g., benefits). As a result, the technologies can be impersonal, inflexible, and create an artificial distance between supervisors and employees. Likewise, the use of technology for training may be less engaging than traditional methods, and may not give trainees the opportunity to practice or gain feedback. Furthermore, technology may actually transfer the work of HR departments to line managers or employees, which may reduce overall productivity in organizations (Stone‐Romero et al., 2003).In spite of possible limitations associated with using technology to manage HR processes, it will continue to transform the field in the future. Furthermore, it can be argued that new technologies will emerge that should decrease some of the major drawbacks associated with current systems. For instance, a number of researchers argued that the use of new interactive technologies (e.g., Web 2.0, social media, virtual simulations or job fairs, chat rooms, cloud computing, mobile devices) should decrease some of the weaknesses associated with current systems (see Dineen & Allen, 2013; Stone et al., 2015; Sullivan, 2014). For example, the use of social media, chat rooms, and high definition cloud computing should enable applicants and employees to engage in an interactive dialogue with recruiters or managers. Similarly, the use of virtual reality should provide applicants with opportunities to attend virtual job fairs, give supervisors the ability to mentor subordinates, and offer trainees the chance to participate in virtual training simulations. All of these virtual environments should increase the degree to which technology-based HR processes are personal, flexible, interactive, engaging, and decrease the interpersonal distance between employees and supervisors. Although these arguments seem plausible, research will be needed to examine the effectiveness and acceptance of these new HR processes.Despite the fact that we viewed technology as a challenge in the sections above, it should be noted that it also provides new opportunities for the field of HR. For instance, research showed that technology often decreases the administrative burden in HR, increases efficiency, and allows the field to contribute to the strategic direction of organizations (Stone & Dulebohn, 2013). To date, there is no evidence that it helps organizations achieve its primary goals, but we believe that new interactive technologies will facilitate the attraction and retention of critical employees (Stone et al., 2015). One reason for this is that it will allow supervisors and HR professionals to engage in more frequent interaction and communication with employees. As a result, they will be able to identify and meet the needs of critical employees, and ensure that they remain with the organizations. It may also enable organizations to make better HR decisions based on objective information or decision support systems (Dulebohn & Johnson, 2013). Furthermore, it may facilitate interactions with stakeholders insideand outside the organization. For example, supervisors may be able to communicate with external customers in order to improve employees' performance, and HR professionals should be capable of staying abreast of innovative practices used by other organizations (see Ulrich & Dulebohn, 2015, for a detailed discussion of these issues).中文译文:影响人力资源管理未来的挑战和机遇摘要如今,人力资源(HR)管理领域正面临着巨大的变革压力。

人力资源管理战略【外文翻译】

外文翻译原文:Human Resource Management StrategyAn organization’s human resources are, according to current management theory, the most important investment of a corporation. Enormous sums of money are spent to recruit, select and hire a qualified staff. Additional expense is incurred in training and development; and even more investment is made on an ongoing and continually increasing basis to maintain a quality workforce with competitive compensation and benefits programs. Still managers often let go of the people in which so much time and money has been invested when the employees make mistakes, or when there is a pattern of disagreement or difference. Such employees routinely leave promising careers with one company to start all over again someplace else.Of course managers expect, and should expect, their employees to be competent, responsible, cooperative and productive; and to perform their tasks with integrity and a high work ethic. In an ideal organization employees work in harmony with management and peers, follow management’s directives and put forth sincere effort to help the organization meet its objectives.Employees are only human however and humans make mistakes. And to expect perfect compliance with the needs and desires of others is not a very realistic expectation of adults in the workplace. More likely, in fact, in today’s organization employees may not work harmoniously with peers and may just as likely not follow management’s directives. Today’s workforce increasingly wants to think for themselves and to use their skills and abilities in ways that enhance their own chances for success, enable them to accomplish their own agendas, and achieve their own goals.The presence (and essence) of the human element in the increasingly fast-paced, smaller staffed, and competitive work environment practically guarantees that mistakes, problems, and disagreements will occur. They are a part of life, a part of being human. For example, look at what happened to a friend of mine; a medicaltechnologist, recently graduated from college and working less than one year in a large hospital:Shortly after she began her new job, my friend was responsible for running a batch of neo-natal tests。

The Development of Human Resource Management In China IntroductionWith the advent of the 21st century, Human Resource Management, as a relatively new management subject, is playing a more and more important role in today’s business activities. This report mainly discusses 3 questions about today’s human resource management. The first section discusses the changing function of human resource management in terms of 3 aspects which are staff-company relations, HR model development and HR strategies. The second section describes the exploring stage of HRM in China. System building, recruitment and motivation are the three aspects to support the opinion. The third section discusses the new challenges that HR managers in China may face. In this part, challenges from the changing business age, HR managers’ abilities to deal with uncertainty and ambiguity and solitary to collective activity are discussed.Question 1Human resource management, as the quickly developing subject, without doubt, has changed a lot in its function in many fields. This section will mainly discuss the HRM’s change and expansion in the aspect of staff-company relations, HR model development and HR strategies as the following.In the aspect of the staff-company relations, the changing functions will be discussed from 3 aspects which are power factors, employees and motivational method. First, in terms of the power factors, 10 years ago the relationship between employees and the company was regarded as ‘Labor and Enterprise’ while nowadays more companies show understanding and respect for the human spirit. For example, Google China places a piano in the hall of the company and even set a kitchen and the washing machine for their employees (Jim Westcott, 2005). Second, in terms of the employees, employees are considered as thinking and rational beings around 10 years ago. The reason why they chose this company was the satisfactory salary. But today, staffs are considered as fully evolved, completely satisfied, mature human beings. Third, in the motivational methods aspect, the change is really huge. A decade ago, companies often drove employees through basic needs such as a big bonus. While therole seems to highlight people’s social and intellectual needs.In the aspect of HR model development, some human resource management functions have expanded during the past decade. One of the new products of human resource management is the HR outsourcing which support the core HR activities and business processes associated with HR administration. Outsourcing HR functions or processes is a viable decision for businesses, particularly those whose internal HR department has reached the limit of its effectiveness; businesses that want to access new programs or services (but don't want to incur the required investment), or those that want to focus on core competencies. The advantage of HR outsourcing is obvious: Obtaining access to (internally) unavailable expertise, skills, technologies; increased flexibility; reducing costs/reduce investment. This way has achieved great success in some countries, for example, Canada. Spending on HR outsourcing in Canada, is forecast to increase by more than 13%, on average, every year between 2005 and 2009 (Jim Westcott, 2005).The majority of HR strategies have been developed over the last decade. Twenty per cent of respondents indicate that an HR strategy has been in place at their institution for less than three years, 60% report that the HR strategy was developed in the past three to seven years and 20% indicate that the strategy is ten or more years old. These data reinforce the notion that HR management has taken on a much more strategic role within the past decade. The HR strategy in recruitment and retention can be discussed in long-term goals as well as shorter-term operational procedures. In terms of recruitment and retention some institutions are primarily concerned with short-term objectives. For example, one Canadian respondent stated that their HR strategy involves ‘an annual recruitment and retention plan that g overns academic staff hiring and retention for the following academic year’ (Ronold G Ehrenbdeg, 2005). Other responses highlight long-term objectives and broader issues relating to staff development and performance as well as policy and strategic planning for future institutional growth. For example, one Australian institution states that their HR strategy is concerned with ‘workforce planning, age profiling, attraction and retention issues, and reengineering the recruitment process’. The general focus of this strategyis on strategic planning for successive generations.Question 2With China's entering the WTO, modern enterprise management concept has been gradually accepted by Chinese enterprises and, human resources management has been developed and promoted in the majority of enterprises. However, as a management skill that gets access to China less than 30 years and faced with the cultural conflict, HRM in China still stays in the exploring stage.In the aspect of system building, human resources management system in China is imperfect still. According to the recent report of HR in China, less than forty percent of the enterprises have established the business development strategy combining with human resources management system. Furthermore, only 12.9% of them can really implement this strategy. What is more, employees’ career development planning, staff representation system, and the staff Rationalized suggestion are the 3 strategies that are not completed enough. Only 9% of the researched enterprise s establish and implement the employees’ career development planning (Zhao Yin, 2007).In terms of the recruitment, the forms of recruitment in Chinese enterprises are not diversified enough. Although the modern enterprises can recruit through more and more channels such as networks, an executive search firm, job fairs, campus recruitment, advertising media and so many ways that can provide companies with human resources information, the majority of the companies still choose form as job fairs. However, ac cording to the ‘2007 Human Resource Report’, the percentage of the surveyed companies which have been tried to recruit through network was 35%, which was 12% higher than that of the year 2006. Secondly, the technologies during the recruitment that the companies use are still in a growing stage. Only half of the enterprises plan to use professional test tool to find suitable staff. Ways like knowledge test, psychological test and presentation are introduced in China recently and are welcomed.The motivation in China is at a developing stage. Most Chinese companies have motivation strategies. Quite a few of them prefer to choose short-term and directmotivating strategies like paying. At present, China has 70% of the enterprises in accordance with different types of personnel to set different pay scales (Zhao Yin, 2007). Paying is a common kind of economic motivation. Paying incentives for executives directly show in their steady growth of income - wages, which is very intuitive. However, with the raise of exe cutives’ social status and overall ability, material and money are no longer the key point of motivation. Research from China Database, one of the most authority databases, show that 19.6% of the surveyed enterprises use virtual equity of the company as the long-term motivation methods and 18.9% of them use the form of giving share options as the long-term motivation, while 78.2% of the enterprises have not implemented the long-term motivation. As one of the ways to motivate staff, long-term also includes creating a platform for employees which may attract employees since they can exert their abilities fully. Question 3As the functions of human resource have changed since the 21st century, challenges are coming to the human resource managers in China. For China is still in the exploring stage mentioned in question 2, the challenges should be more than those in developed human resource management countries. In the information era, the economic era and the knowledge, the challenges for Chinese HRM managers are mainly from these three fields.The first challenges for HRM is the changing role of organizations from the Industrial Age to the Information Age. Work performed in factories by machines is being replaced by work in offices or at computer terminals. And instead of working with things, people increasingly work with ideas and concepts. Information and knowledge have replaced manufacturing as the source of most new jobs. Thus, taking charge of thousands of workers in a factory is not the typical functions of modern human resource managers. Although the numbers of employees may decrease, but the extent of difficulty will not decrease since employees are more knowledgeable and informative.Like the popular saying nowadays ’The only thing that doesn’t change is change’, with the development of the technologies, tools that human being use speed up thepace of people’s life. Thus the second challenge which may face the human resource manager is the abilities to deal with uncertainty and ambiguity. Static, permanent organizations designed for a stable and predictable world are giving way to flexible, adaptive organizations more suited for a new world of change and transformation. Emphasis on permanence, tradition and the past is giving way to creativity and innovation in the search for new solutions, new processes, and new products and services. Maintaining the status is less important than a vision of the future and the organization's destiny. We are used to dealing with certainty and predictability. We need to become accustomed to dealing with uncertainty and ambiguity.The next challenges will be the ability of HR managers to adapt from muscular to mental work (Alexandria, 1997). Repetitive physical labor that doesn't add value is increasingly being replaced by mental creativity. Routine and monotony are giving way to innovation and a break with tradition. In the past, people were considered to be merely workers, an old concept that associated people with things. Now people are considered purveyors of activities and knowledge whose most important contributions are their intelligence and individual talents. We are used to dealing with physical, repetitive manual labor; we need to become accustomed to dealing with mental, creative, and innovative work.What is more, another problem that may challenge HR managers in China is to organize employee to finish projects from solitary to collective activity (FangCai, 2005). With the rising difficulty of complex and technology, it is almost impossible for only one person to finish a project. Thus teamwork is supplanting individual activity. The old emphasis on individual efficiency (on which the total efficiency of the organization depended) is being replaced by group synergy. It's a matter of multiplying efforts, rather than simply adding them. We are used to individualized, isolated work; we need to change to high-performance teamwork. Thus the function of human resource managers is to offer the company the suitable person and coordinate the relationship among the team, especially in China, a country that highlights relationship and harmony very much.ConclusionThis article first analyses the changed functions of human resource management nowadays. In terms of the staff-company relations, a trend of closer and humane relationship between staff and companies emerges. The model of HR outsourcing is showing its strong competitiveness and may become one of the main way that HR management to use. Secondly, this article states that China today still stays in the exploring stage of human resource management. The uncompleted HRM system building, the single form of recruitment, the growing interview technologies and the lack of long- term motivation in Chinese enterprises, all these facts shows that China has a long way to go in the development of HRM. Thirdly, Challenges for HRM managers in China are tough and numerous. Changes from the Industrial Age to the Information Age, stability to change, muscular to mental work lead the challenges for Chinese HRM managers. To sum up, it is a long way to go for the development of human resource management in China.人力资源管理在中国的发展导言随着二十一世纪的到来,人力资源管理作为一个相对较新的管理问题,扮演了一个越来越重要的作用在当今的商业中。

It is a journey where it is essential to have communicated and envisaged a picture of the destination. The details of this envisaged picture will look different probably upon "arrival" at the end of the journey. However, communicating the destination is essential. It helps employees to understand what the direction is. It helps employees and managers to use existing competencies along the way. Moving ahead very often demonstrates unexpected strengths in colleagues one has not been aware of. Moving ahead with a plan can also show the team their current level of competence and the desired state of competence. Explaining and talking about these differences may often prove not to be that easy and clear for many involved.A changing environment shows also weaknesses of current practices, processes, and services. It requires strong managerial skills to keep discussions having a focus on the future and preventing these discussions to turn into complaint sessions of past events. Human Resources practices and processes are executed in a triangle of employees, managers, andHuman Resources. Therefore, building competence requires strong and dedicated involvement from these three groups of participants. Competence building is most effective when learning happens during day-to-day work events and the collective and individual learning has a meaning: something "tangible" will be achieved and recognized.Keywords: Competence building, Change management, Human resource management, Process analysis, Change program, HR processes IntroductionThis case study is about a response by the Human Resources Department of a major financial institute in the Czech Republic to the changing world of customer behavior, customer service, financial market crises with its impact on the country's economy, and social and welfare systems. The financial institution (hereinafter, bank) has been established almost 200 years ago and is for decades the major retail bank in the Czech Republic. The mission of the bank has been — and still is — "to help individuals and companies build a financial future fbr them.,^ The bank has for decades played an enormous role in the development of the social infrastructure that enables individuals and companies to take charge of their own future. This balance between social and individual CQ company responsibility is an exciting challenge for the bank.Two years after the financial crisis in 2008, the bank has seen itself confronted with a society where companies notice severe drops in their revenues. Across Europe governments and companies cut back theirspending. The decrease in revenues put pressure on wages for employees and reorganizations led to higher unemployment rates. This in turn led to lower tax income for governments and higher expenditures for keeping a certain level of social welfare.In the banking industry, competition has been increasing. eBanks gain a strong market presence in certain market segments. Contrary to regular retail banks, eBanks provide their services to customers primarily through the Internet and mobile technology; eBanks typically do not have an extensive network of branches. Consequently, these eBanks deploy a customer service infrastructure at a significantly lower cost level (due to, e.g., no expensive buildings to maintain and no staff needed for these branches) than the traditional retail banks can achieve. The traditional retail banks see themselves with no other choice than:Investing in the retail branch infrastructure (buildings, more modern customer desks)Investing in new hardware and software technologies (e.g., online banking) while having to maintain a high level of data security in relatively "old" technologiesDecreasing the price levels and at the same time increasing the customer service levels putting profit margins under pressureWhat Was the Problem/Challenge?Questions for the management team of the bank — The Board of Directors of the bank understands competitive measures are required. Formonths in a row, reports on declining customer satisfaction, on declining market shares, and pressures on product and service margins land at the desks of the Board. The overall complexity of the environment asks for deliberate actions. One of the objectives is to build upon the competitive advantages of the bank and improve in relative weak business areas. Another factor further complicates the daunting task. In 2010 a first wave of strong regulatory requirements makes a way through the banking industry (McKinsey 2010) such as:Requirements to significantly improve capital and liquidity situation in a short period of time. An estimated amount of 60 % of currently outstanding Tier 1 capital is required to be added in just 8-9 years.Expected drop in return on equity (ROE) for an average bank by 4 % on ROE levels that have already been under pressure in retail banks.When the results of the analysis are presented to the Board of Directors, the respective line managers are requested to prepare action plans on a business unit level that provide an adequate response to the aforementioned categories.The Human Resources Director discusses the strategic assignment from the Board of Directors with the HR management team. They agree to be in the group of first movers within the bank. One of the reasons why the Human Resources Director wants to be a front-runner is the identification of an extra dimension for Human Resources. The Human Resources Department needs not only to change itself; the department hasas well the chance to support other business units in going through a change process.What Was Our Plan on Solving the Problem or Mastering the Challenge?Situation in the Human Resources Department — The Human Resources Director notices that the Human Resources teams are good in execution of processes. There is a good atmosphere in the department. The internal customers are reasonably satisfied with the Human Resources services that are being provided. However, the Human Resources teams (recruitment, training and development, compensation and labor law) execute services that the business has demanded in past years. Some line managers have started with designing their own Human Resources services and solutions to respond to the changes in the business environment. Often the Human Resources Department is aware of such solutions months after these services have been deployed by the business. In the retail business line, even an own Human Resources department has been created executing recruitment for key positions and designing special training programs. In short, Human Resources is not considered a strong partner for business challenges but rather a department who makes sure the basic needs are fulfilled: timely and accurate run of the payroll, mass recruitment for the retail branch network (searching, selecting, and assessing candidates), and planning and organizing trainings.The focus on execution has led to fragmentation of HumanResources services — services which are being provided in isolation. The recruitment team focuses on delivering as fast as possible candidates for job vacancies. The compensation team delivers compensation data, benefits, and market benchmarks. The training and development team runs a "training factory.,, The teams act very much independent from each other, although they have regular meetings to provide each other an update on what has happened and what is next.An analysis of the work activities shows that the Human Resources department spends about 62 % of its time on administrative, operational, and transactional Human Resources services. Examples of these transactional and administrative Human Resources services are: The Human Resources Director proposes a plan of action to the team which is guided by an external consultant team. The plan is cut into three main phases. The end of each phase does not automatically trigger the next phase. Several requirements are critically assessed and an approval for entering the next phase is to be provided by the Board of Directors.The first priority is to stabilize key processes and services such as recruitment, payroll, and training logistics. The team sees itself confronted with an organization in change, and for the Human Resources Director, it is important that during the change program of the Human Resources Department, certain levels of services are maintained. A situation where the business will start complaining about the basics in Human Resources services will further complicate the very challengingassignment. Like the other teams in the bank, the Human Resources team needs to make a change in a changing environment.In a second phase, the Human Resources Director focuses on providing a strategic but limited list of Human Resources priorities. It is better to deliver a few projects excellently than having many projects in a never-ending process. Focus on a few projects also allows for having a continuous stream of quick wins and periodically the celebration of a major achievement. In this phase a clear split between a team working on setting the framework for (strategic) Human Resources direction based on the bank's strategic choices and a team working on the execution of Human Resources practices (e.g., staffing, performance feedback, personal experience, and career management and learning). The latter team shows and highlights what "happens" in the bank and what managers effectively do (Randall and Schuler 2007).In the third phase, the Human Resources Director sees a continuation of phase two based on efficient and effective processes and a continuous delivery on agreed strategic priority items. The third phase has a focus on putting Human Resources as a strategic partner for the business from a people perspective. As a strategic partner, HR can continuously support the development of people, advice and coach line managers in people management skills, and adapt together with the business to Human Resources services — instead of adapting Human Resources services based on Human Resources expertise.There is another component in the change program the Human Resources Director realizes that requires full attention. The whole change program will have a major impact on the job roles, skills, and competencies of the Human Resources employees. The Human Resources Director decides to use the change model of John P. Kotter (1996). She wants the employees to realize what it means to build new and strengthen competence in an environment where change is ubiquitous.What Was the Real Outcome?Staffing for competence building — The selection process is considered a critical step in the competence building for the Human Resources services delivery model. The selection process focuses on identifying the current level of competencies of the candidates and the potential these candidates have. Each candidate (both internal and external) for a Human Resources business partner job position goes first through a whole-day assessment center. Those candidates that pass the assessment center are put through interviews with a senior line manager and with a member of the Board of Directors. Each Human Resources business partner gets a personal development plan that is based on the feedback gathered throughout the selection process. The personal development plan focuses on behaviors and soft skills such as communication, negotiations, giving presentations, team cooperation, conducting constructive conversations, and interviews. The personal development plan is based on the 70-20-10 concept in learning:Seventy percent from challenging job assignmentsTwenty percent from colleagues, peers, and superiorsTen percent from formal learning courses (online, class room)A first assignment the Human Resources business partners (HRBPs) get is to introduce themselves to the respective business divisions and together with the business develop a working agenda with concrete objectives and action steps. This working agenda is discussed with an assigned mentor from the business line. The personal development plan is prioritized based on the working agenda. Important in the competence building is the exposure to situations where the HRBP uses the competencies and experience gained so far. Deliberately a decision is made to have the HRBP deal with all Human Resources and personnel matters concerning the employees and line managers. The Human Resources Director remains responsible for the Board of Directors. The HRBPs are exposed to challenges such as negotiating employment contracts with line managers, preparing a reorganization plan for the business divisions, and achieving buy-in for implementing new or changed Human Resources services and processes in the business divisions. Exposure to and responsibility in these situations provides a learning situation when these situations are continuously evaluated. Such continuous evaluation is possible when all parties involved treat each other with respect, is honest and constructive, and is open to receive feedback. After a couple of months, a difference in competencedevelopment between the HRBPs is observed. One of the factors that led to this difference has been the acceptance of the feedback received and the willingness to actively work with the feedback. Another factor that is noticed is whether the line managers accept feedback from HRBPs on what they actually do in day-to-day business.A similar approach to selecting HRBPs is used for recruiting employees for the Center of Competence. Candidates go through a whole-day assessment center where they are asked to demonstrate skills in strategic Human Resources analysis, bringing concepts and practices from international human resource management to a realistic and pragmatic Human Resources service for the bank, and ability to lead functional teams without hierarchical responsibilities. The candidates that pass the assessment center have a further interview with the Head of the Competence Center and the Human Resources Director. Also, the employees in the Center of Competence get a personal development plan.Demonstrate competence through processes and services — The team is using the Human Resources process data gathered during the development of the business case which is one of the input materials for new or updated Human Resources processes and services. Another input the team uses is process design examples of companies that already have implemented the HR business delivery model based on competence centers, Human Resources business partners, and a centralized center for personnel services and administration. The team selects those companiesthat have such a model for several years in place. An observation that is made is that many of these processes and practices — those that are lying now on the table — actually work though there are some key differences in how the same processes (e.g., recruitment, performance management, compensation management) are practiced. During the redesign of the processes and services, the team keeps in mind the following saying: "best principles help in catching the right wave, not per se the best practices.,5Processes and data are part of the infrastructure of providing effectively Human Resources services as well as managers and employees practicing people management principles. Some of the processes rely on speed, observation ability, and high volumes (e.g., mass recruitment for the retail branch network). The payroll process relies on data accuracy, 4-eye principles, high volumes, and data input dependencies. An effective performance and development management process is characterized for example by regular and ongoing communication, respect, and ability to gain experience.The team discusses the principles for each of the processes with the business. A difficulty in designing many of these processes has been the gap between desired state, current state, and "what is actually possible to achieve.,5 Human Resources processes and services that support a desired state but cannot be executed or practiced miss their purpose. Often it happens that such processes and services are becoming a hygiene conflictbetween Human Resources and managers. The dirt is getting back on the table as a discussion between Human Resources and managers over and over again. What happens regularly then is that Human Resources and managers do not discuss the purpose anymore but instead focus on side details and on complaining toward each other. Also, other people and Human Resources topics are then often not discussed anymore as each conversation tends to start with complaints. Therefore, the team makes an effort to keep the redesign of the process as realistic as possible. Mature and stable processes are selected for a first redesign.The recruitment department faces the challenge of mass recruitment for the retail branch network and specific and nonstandard recruiting for open job positions for staff functions and senior management positions. One of the limiting factors in execution is that the assessment centers for selecting candidates for the retail branch network in ten different locations are dispersed over the entire country, whereas the recruitment team is centralized in the capital city. The team does have a mobile phone with basic functionality but lacks the software infrastructure and smartphone and laptop technology to work effectively while traveling to one of these assessment center locations. There is no possibility to invest significantly in software and hardware improvements to support the desired situation. Hence, the team identifies the restrictions in the work environment, the business needs of the management for recruiting services, and the labor market situation. The recruitment team makes thedifficult decision to keep three from the ten assessment center locations. The business reacts in first instance negatively as they fear they will lose access to possible good candidates. The result is that three bases for assessment centers are equipped that are easily to be reached by public transport and car. Further, based on demand two other locations are selected where ad hoc an assessment can be organized. Rather quick several benefits from this decision bear fruit, such as:Competence of logistics of materials and people (candidates, managers, recruiters) is less complex providing a boost in quality (documents are printed and available on the location, assessors are present, candidates are present on the date and location they are expected).Travel time for recruiters is significantly reduced leading to less overtime hours, better accessibility for candidates and managers, and more time for building an internal and external network. The ability to build and maintain a network is a critical technical competence for recruiters.Sufficient amount of candidates per location to allow for better connection between workforce planning and staffing (building a pipeline of candidates) leads to an improvement in the indicator time to fill a vacancy.The assessment center locations can also be used for trainings, which decrease the cost for the bank significantly.The training and development department consists of three teams. One team is responsible for the logistics and administration of all training events. A second team is responsible for coaching and design of trainings for staff functions. The third team executes the more soft-skill trainings for the retail branch network. The retail business also has a team for training and development. This team focuses more on training the hard skills such as product knowledge and software trainings. Retail branch employees provide feedback that sometimes conflicting information is provided leading to confusion. Also, there is an imminent conflict between these two training and development teams on who provides which kind of trainings and training services. During the workshop sessions on designing the processes and services in the area of training and development, the decision is made to merge the two training teams that serve the retail branch network. The new department is positioned under the Head of Retail Business Development with a functional dotted line to the Head of Learning and Leadership Development in the Human Resources Department. After a period of getting to know each other, these two teams notice that by combining their strengths, they are able to provide much more interactive learning situations than before. The new team has now the capacity to develop and offer a much more improved blended learning environment combining aspects of on-the-job learning with peer coaching and with technical product trainings during a class room session.What Are the Lessons Learned?How to learn surfing — "What can be done when wanting to learn surfing on open water?"Learning how to manage competence building can be a life-changing experience. Consecutive actions are to be performed in a structured way to allow for feedback, observations, and reflection. Important has been as well that from the start a dialogue takes place on the desired level of Human Resources competence. The bank did not want a world-class Human Resources team; it wanted a Human Resources team that can identify Human Resources solutions and act upon business priorities and needs. Common understanding or at least awareness of what to achieve is essential in building competence.Choose the right competencies to learn first. It is easier to build upon strengths then to try and reach for something (relatively) unknown. Whenever the Human Resources employees take their strengths as a starting point, the learning experience is progressing. When going for unknown skills without too much guidance, the learning process was slowed down. During the entire competence building journey, the Human Resources Director always has tried to find colleagues in business or experts from outside the organization to keep competence building of Human Resources employees at a realistic stretch. Indeed, trust, respect, belief, and constructive feedback are important elements in this process of competence building.The same approach applies for building competence on process or service level. Take those Human Resources processes and services that are mature and stable.Start with piloting changes in small business events before reaching out to the entire organization. Using selective business managers in the competence building process has helped Human Resources to pilot Human Resources processes and practices. Also, assigning business managers to Human Resources business partners and specifying learning actions along a working agenda have supported the competence building on a personal level. Employees have to learn to stand on their feet in various situations.译文人力资源战略与变革:在变化的环境中的能力发展米歇尔•伯格摘要在不断变化的环境中建立能力是一个过程。

Transactional psychological contracts did not signi?cantly mediate these relationships. In addition, the results also indicated that commitment-based HR systems related positively to relational psychological contracts and negatively to transactional psychological contracts.Practical Implications Commitment-based HR systems could elicit a wide range of knowledge workers’ behaviors that are bene?cial to the goals ofthe ?rms. Furthermore ,our ?ndings also provide insight into, how HR systems potentially elicit employees’ role behaviors. Organizations could elicit employees’ in-role behaviors by providing ?nancial and other non-?nancial, but tangible, inducements and facilitate employees’ extra-role behaviors by providing positive experiences, such as respect, commitment, and support.Originality/Value The study is one of the primary studies to empirically examine the mediating effect of psycho-logical contracts on HR systems and employee behaviors. IntroductionHuman Resource (HR) systems create and support employment relationships. Thus, psychological contracts can be treated as employees’ beliefs stemming from the HR system. Furthermore, psychological contracts represent employees’ beliefs about mutual employment obligations.Employees tend to perform what they believe, that is, according to their psychological contracts. Thus, psycho-logical contracts are positively related to employees’ role behaviors, turnover intentions, commitment, and trust. In other words, psychological contracts are not only formulated by HR systems but also in?uence employee behaviors. Consequently, psychological contracts can be viewed as the linking mechanism between HR systems and employee behaviors.In the past decade, most psychological contract research has focused on identifying the components of psychological contracts and the effects of the ful?llment or the violation of psychological contracts by employers. For example, Robinson et al. (1994) found that the components of psychological contracts included expectations of high pay,pay based on the current level of performance, training,long-term job security, and career development. Based on these ?ndings, Robinson and Morrison (1995) further pro-posed that employees are less likely to engage in civic virtue behavior when these expectations were violated. In summary, researchers have con?rmed that violated psychological contracts negatively in?uence employees’ role behaviors while ful?lled psychological contracts have positive in?uences. However, no studies have empirically examined psychological contracts as a linkingmechanism between HR systems and employee behaviors.Accordingly, the goal of this study is to empirically examine psychological contracts as a mediator of the relationship between HR systemsand role behaviors. Our results will provide insights regarding the reason for HR systems having an effect on employees’ role behaviors. Based on these insights, HR practitioners will gain a better under-standing of how to facilitate employees’ role behaviors (e.g.,by offering them speci?c inducements). Subsequently, we provide a brief review of psychological contract research, discuss relationships between HR systems and psychological contracts, and propose psychological contracts as mediators of the HRsystem�Cemployee behavior relationship. HR systems are considered as an organizational level variable, whereas psychological contracts and role behaviors are both considered as individual level variables. Thus, relationships between HR systems and these variables are considered cross-level relationships and will be tested accordingly. Psychological ContractsInitially, a psychological contract was de?ned as an implicit, unwritten agreement between parties to respect eac h other’s norms and mainly used as a framework that referred to the implicitness of the exchange relationship between an employee and his/her employer. It did not acquire construct status until the seminal work of Rousseau in the 1990s. According to Rousseau (1989, 1995), a psycho-logical contract is an individual’s belief regarding the terms and conditions of a reciprocal exchange agreement between employees and employers. Furthermore, psycho-logical contracts include different kinds of mental models or schemas, which employees hold concerning reciprocal obligations in the workplace.In accordance with MacNeil’s (1985) typology of promissory contracts, Rousseau (1990) also categorized psychological contracts into two types: transactional and relational. Based on Rousseau and McLean Parks’ (1993) framework, transactional and relational psychological contracts differ on the following ?ve characteristics: focus ,time frame, stability, scope, and tangibility. Speci?cally, transactional contracts focus on economic terms, have a speci?c duration, are static, narrow in scope, and are easily observable. Relational contracts simultaneously focus on both economic and socio-emotional terms, have an indefinite duration, are dynamic, pervasive in scope, and are subjectively understood.In summary, transactional psychological contracts refer to employment arrangements with short-term exchanges of speci?ed performance terms and relational psychological contracts refer to arrangements with long-term exchanges of non-speci?ed performance terms. Empirical evidence supports notonly the existence of these two different types of psychological contracts,but also the movement between them. For example, Robinson et al.(1994) found that as contracts become less relational, employees perceived their employment arrangements to be more transactional in nature.Hypothesis 1 Commitment-based HR systems will positively relate to relational psychological contracts.In contrast, when an organization applies a low commitment-based HR system, such as narrowly de?ned jobs, limited training efforts, relatively limited bene?ts, and lower wages, employees will perceive that the organization has committed to offer them little to no training or career development. These perceptions will shape employees’transactional psychological contracts, which primarily focus upon the economic aspects of their short-term reciprocal exchange agreement with the organization. Accordingly, we hypothesize that commitment-based HR systems will negatively relate to transactional psychological contracts. Hypothesis 2 Commitment-based HR systems will negatively relate to transactional psychological contracts.The Mediating Effects of Psychological Contracts on the Relationship Between HR Systems and Role Behaviors.Organizations and their employees can be considered as the parties in the social exchange relationships. Based on the organization’s actions, such asHR systems, employees will generate their own perceptions, which in turn will determine their role behaviors in reciprocation to their organizations. Inother words, employees’ perceptions regarding the exchange agreement between themselves and their organizations mediate the relationships between HRsystems and employees’ role behaviors. Consequently, psychological contracts are expected to mediate the relationships between commitment-based HR systems and role behaviors.Role behavior refers to the recurring actions of an individualappropriately inter-correlated with the repetitive activities of others, to yield a predictable outcome. There are two types of role behaviors: in-roleand extra-role behavior. In-role behaviors are those behaviors required or expected within the purview of performing the duties and responsibilities ofan assigned work role (Van Dyne et al. 1995). Since they are required for the work role, employers adopt formal reward systems which provide ?nancial andother non-?nancial, but tangible inducements in exch ange for employees’ in-role behaviors.The exchange of ?nancial and tangible inducements is a key feature of economic exchange (Blau 1964) and, thus, the exchange relationships between commitment-based HR systems and employees’ in-role behaviors could be treated as a kind of economic exchange. In other words, commitment-based HR systems elicit employees’ in-role behaviors by shaping perceptionsregarding the economic terms of the exchange agreement between themselves and their organizations. Since both relational and transactional psychological contracts focus on economic terms of exchange relationships (Rousseau and McLean Parks 1993), employees with transactional or relational psychological contracts will perform in-role behaviors in order to exchange those higher salaries and more extensive bene?ts in commitment-based HR systems. Accordingly, we hypothesize that both relational and transactional psychological contracts will mediate the relationships between commitment-based HR systems and in-role behaviors.Hypothesis 3 Both relational and transactional psychological contracts will mediate the relationships between commitment-based HR systems and in-role behaviors.In contrast, extra-role behaviors, such as organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB), are those behaviors that bene?t the organization and go beyond existing role expectations (Van Dyne et al. 1995). OCBs are not required for the work role, and employers do not formally reward them. Forthis reason, employees perform OCBs to reciprocate only when they have had positive experiences, such as involvement, commitment, and support, with the organization (Organ 1990; Robinson and Morrison 1995).Since commitment-based HR systems are labeled ‘‘commitment maximizers’’ (Arthur 1992, 1994), they are likely to facilitate employees’ OCBs by offering those positive experiences.The reciprocation of these positive experiences is a kind of social exchange (Cropanzano and Mitchell 2021). In other words, to elicit employees’ OCBs, socio-emotional terms need to be in the exchange agreement between employees and their organizations. Since transactional psychological contracts do not focus on socio-emotional terms of exchange relationship (Rousseau and McLean Parks 1993), they are not expected to mediate the HR system�COCBsrelationship. Accordingly, we hypothesize that relational psychological contracts mediate the relationship between commitment-based HR systems and OCBs. MethodsSample and ProcedureThe solid strength of Taiwanese high-tech industries is a critical factor in the global economy (Einhorn 2021).Knowledge workers,such as R&D professionals and engineers, have been viewed as a core human resource for high-tech ?rms, and these ?rms would like to adopt commitment-based HR systems in managing their knowledge workers (Lepak and Snell 2002).Since personal contacts signi?cantly facilitate company access in Chinese societies (Easterby-Smith and Malina 1999), we accessed high-tech companies through personal感谢您的阅读,祝您生活愉快。

百度文库- 好好学习,天天向上单位代码学号分类号密级文献翻译院(系)名称专业名称学生姓名指导教师2012年3月30日Human Resource ManagementHuman resources in corporate governance, not only has the human resources planning and strategic leader in the implementation of corporate strategic planning and overall development objectives of the course also has a vital role in this. At present, an increasing number of SMEs in the development of human resources planning is there are a lot of confusion and helplessness.Conditions in the knowledge-based economy, human resources of small and medium enterprises have a vital role in development. More and more small and medium-sized owners, corporate governance has become accustomed to the level of human resources management on the importance of enterprise development, but for the development of human resources planning is always there are a lot of confusion and helplessness."Human resource planning is very simple, not that more recruitment, remuneration, such as content, and sometimes combined with some training things.", "CEOs are still racking their brains set strategy, how can I make a planning", "human resource planning has not done very much sense, does not change plans quickly, the end of the day can be honored only 20% -30%. " HR is more than many small and medium enterprises are the views of human resources planning. So, how small and medium enterprises have no need for human resource planning? How can we work out a scientific human resource planning? First of all, let us take a look at the implementation of small and medium-sized effect of human resource planning is not ideal because:Human resource planning is not fully familiar withDo a good job in human resources management are the trilogy: a clear strategic planning - human resources planning - human resources management system and specific implementation plan. Corporate strategic objectives of the overall development of human resources planning determines the content, and these contents for the establishment of humanresources management system, develop specific plans to add staff, the use of plans, personnel and promotion plan to succeed, education and training plan, assessment and incentive plan, labor relations, retirement plan termination to provide the direction and in accordance with the guidelines. A broad sense of human resource planning includes all of these specific content, and not merely "just more of recruitment, remuneration, such as content, sometimes coupled with the training point of things."Human resource planning is the development of strategic planning an important component of the enterprise but also the human resources management of the foundation and basis. And the management of small and medium-sized and HR are not fully aware of precisely this point, so that the specific process of the formulation and implementation of a lack of sufficient attention, at all levels of department heads and line managers can not effectively cope with.The strategic objectives of the company is not clearHuman Resources Department must be combined with the implementation of corporate strategy to human resources support and guarantees. In human resources development and governance activities, strategic objectives should be to the strategic guidance of human resources policies to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness. Therefore, human resource planning is a prerequisite for enterprise development and corporate strategy clear first, and then can be decomposed into human resources, then demand will have plans, recruitment plans, payroll and other welfare plan with matching. And small and medium-sized general lack of a clear development strategy, particularly in the rapid expansion phase, is often involved in different business areas, including in many emerging industries. These new industries in R & D, marketing, management, and service all aspects of the experience does not mature for reference, especially to open up some new projects, setting a quota of work posts and not as mature as traditional business. Therefore, in human resources managementcan not have a clear plan, can only go one step further and look forward.Changes in the external environment company too fast, not planningChanges in the development of the market very quickly, and with the market despite changes in the industry to make plans, to reach a rate of year-end target of 20% -30%, however. If an IT company is a regional association in one of the major agents. In the beginning of the year, the company's Human Resources Department in accordance with the company's annual development strategy this year to develop the company's human resources planning. But in the New Year began less than three months, the Lenovo Group's own strategy, and the significant changes in organizational structure. So the supply chain as a part of the IT companies need to be adjusted throughout the company's human resources planning, in accordance with the requirements of a new company set up with the establishment, re-enact a series of related training programs. In fact, the external political, economic, legal, technical, cultural and other factors has been a series of dynamic changes, will cause a corresponding strategic objectives of the enterprise constantly changing, which in turn may lead to subsequent changes in human resource planning .Lack of human resources planning and personnel expertiseAt present, although many small and medium-sized set up a Human Resources Department, but the functions of the departments responsible in the exercise, the prevalence of some problems, mainly reflected in: first, the overall quality is not high, very few professionals, lack of expertise reserves, lack of professional skills ; Second, the lack of vocational training system; third, who was born and raised a number of human resources work, do not have good training, no formal influence of large corporations, low vision. Human resources are a very unique work; personal qualities understand the requirements and have a high learning ability. Of these factors, there are many rather than through the process of formal education available. An outstanding work of human resources does not depend oncertification by the theory of culture is not, and need is the work of its deep experience and a keen insight into the community. Otherwise, continue to rely solely on the principle of data processing technology or the training of human resources to create works in the same paper. In view of human resource development and governance are to penetrate the realities of small and medium-sized, with the various enterprises are familiar with the work of human resources and increasing practice, human resource planning will be in the development of enterprises play a powerful role in promoting.Human resources planning are to organize the protection of sustainable development, the importance of seeking development and growth, particularly in the small and medium enterprises. And whether the development and effective implementation of human resources planning does not depend on the size of the company, the most critical is based on the company's development strategy and operating characteristics of the development of suitable management policies. Most of the current characteristics and the operation of these enterprises are facing the problem of work, we propose the following recommendations: Clear core of human resourcesThe starting point for human resources planning is to clearly define the company's core competitive advantages, that is, the business environment in the enterprise, he is the survival value? His resources to maintain a competitive advantage for that? Take in order to maintain its competitive edge to find the real core of human resources. The core of human resources is to determine the survival and development of enterprise key factors, the need for incentives, education and training, design an appropriate career plan, and continuously to ensure that the recruitment of the core group of human resources capacity expansion, quality improvement, and long-term presence in the enterprise.Flexibility to develop forward-looking human resources planningThe so-called flexibility of human resource planning, is based on the core competitiveness of enterprises, re-evaluation and planning of human resources in enterprises, and form a general combination of human resources in order to ensure that the needs of enterprise's core competitive advantage of the conditions to meet the demands arising from the external business environment caused by temporary changes in human needs. In particular, in the assessment of the existing stock of human resources and define their core human resources on the basis of preparatory support the development of manpower planning and training programs accordingly, and its goal is the production or service enterprises are facing capacity expansion of opportunities, as soon as possible, with middle-level officers at the core support staff to enhance the organizations ability to respond.With the advent of the era of knowledge economy, Sees are facing a growing business environment can not guess, is filled with variables and business opportunities. Human resources planning must adapt to the needs of enterprise governance, maintaining a certain degree of flexibility in order to avoid the transfer of the business strategy of human resources when rigid, dysfunctional and hinder the development of enterprises. At the same time to further strengthen the human resource planning human resource management activities of the forward-looking, functional direction and predictability.The establishment of three-dimensional model of human resource managementPractical human resources planning must be based on internal communication, the basis of mutual cooperation. According to human resources management of small and medium-sized features, the creation of a layer in the decision-making, first-line managers and human resources management in collaboration between the scientific divisions of the three-dimensional model of governance, human resources will contribute to the formulation of strategic planning and implementation.Three-dimensional model, is defined as decision-making, human resource managementdepartments, first-line manager is responsible for the scientific division of labor and human resources management of the business, and the corresponding collaboration. In general, the decision-making level responsible for strategic planning and human resources to support the Human Resources Department, line manager, human resources work; human resources management department is responsible for job analysis, job evaluation and other infrastructure services, and to assist front-line managers do a good job in the core business and to help decision-making to do a good job of human resources strategic planning; first-line managers responsible for management of human resources in the core business in the key link to hold, and to assist Human Resources Department to do a good job analysis and job evaluation of posts and other infrastructure, as well as to assist decision-making to do a good job of human resources strategic planning .人力资源管理在企业的人力资源治理中,人力资源规划不仅具有先导性和战略性,在实施企业总体发展战略规划和目标的过程中也具有举足轻重的作用。

人力资源管理文献英文

人力资源管理文献英文

人力资源管理文献英文Human resource management literature refers to a diverse range of materials, including books, research papers, articles, and case studies that explore various aspects of HR management. The literature discusses the strategies, policies, and practices used by organizations to manage their human capital effectively and efficiently. The following document discusses the various components of the human resource management literature, which are essential for organizations to build and maintain a sustainable workforce.Recruitment and SelectionRecruitment and selection are critical components of human resource management. An effective recruitment process helps organizations identify and hire talented employees who can contribute to the organization's success. In contrast, poor recruitment practices can lead to high employee turnover rates, decreased morale, and reduced productivity. The recruitment process involves creating job descriptions, advertising job openings, screening resumes, interviewing candidates, and finally making job offers. Organizations may use various recruitment methods, such as social media, job portals, and employee referrals, to attract potential employees.Selection is the process of choosing the most suitable candidate for a job based on specific criteria. Selection processes include conducting background checks and skills assessments. The literature suggests that organizations should use valid and reliable selection methods to ensure that they are hiring the right people for the job. This is particularly important as poor recruitment and selection processes often result in high levels of employee turnover and a reduction in employee morale and productivity.Training and DevelopmentTraining and development are essential components of human resource management. Organizations invest in employee training and development to enhance their skills, knowledge, and abilities, thereby improving productivity and organizational performance. The literature suggests that employee training and development should be an ongoing process rather than aone-time event. The training process involves identifying training needs, designing training programs, and implementing and evaluating training programs. Development programs aim to prepare employees for future roles, and these may include mentoring, job rotations, and leadership training.Performance ManagementPerformance management is another critical component of human resource management. It is the process of evaluating employee performance and providing feedback to help employees improve. Performance management involves settingperformance goals, monitoring progress, and providing feedback to employees. The literature suggests that an effective performance management system has several benefits, including improved productivity, increased employee engagement, and reduced time spent on employee disciplinary procedures.Compensation and BenefitsCompensation and benefits are the incentives that organizations offer employees to attract them and retain them. The literature suggests that compensation and benefits should be fair and equitable, based on job responsibilities and market trends. The compensation and benefits package should be reviewed and updated regularly to ensure that it remains attractive to potential employees. The benefits package may include health insurance, retirement plans, vacation and sick leave policies, and other perks aimed at motivating employees.ConclusionIn conclusion, the human resource management literature provides organizations with insights into how to manage their human capital effectively. The literature has identified several components that are essential for organizations to build and sustain a high-performing workforce. These include recruitment and selection, training and development, performance management, and compensation and benefits. An effective human resource management system that integrates thesecomponents can help organizations achieve their strategic objectives and maintain a competitive edge.。

文献信息:文献标题:Applicability of Corporate Social Responsibility to Human Resources Management: Perspective from Spain(人力资源管理的企业社会责任适用性:从西班牙的角度分析)国外作者:Fernando J. Fuentes-Garcı´a,Julia M.Nu´n˜ez-Tabales,Ricardo Veroz-Herrado´n文献节选:《Journal of Business Ethics》, 2008, 82(1):27-44字数统计:英文2393单词,13291字符;中文4396汉字外文文献:Applicability of Corporate Social Responsibility to Human Resources Management: Perspective from Spain ABSTRACT This article analyses the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility in relation to Human Resources (HR) management. Five potential tools are defined and their advantages and disadvantages are discussed. Finally, the implementation of the most advanced and powerful tool in this area is studied: the SA8000 standard.KEY WORDS: Corporate Social Responsibility, human resources, interest groups, SA8000 standard, SpainIntroduction: the growing importance of CSRAt the dawn of the third millennium, there is growing interest in the social dimension of business activities; nowadays, citizens are better informed and their values have changed; they are increasingly ecologically and socially aware and demand more from companies than just the efficient production of goods and services.Companies have responded to the new social demands of their interest groups byimplementing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) actions, which include all their environmental and social activities that go beyond mere economic interests and break away from the traditional image of a company that focuses solely on generating value for its shareholders.Porter and Kramer (2003) believe there is a space where the interests of pure philanthropy and pure business can converge and create both social and economic benefits. In short, CSR can give companies a competitive edge, a strategy that leading companies are already implementing.The development of CSR is the result of changes in the developed world’s core values (greater concern for environmental deterioration, discriminatory working practices, respect for human rights, etc.) and is linked to three key factors (Nieto and Ferna´ndez, 2004):•Increased regulation: Regulations have been drawn up by very diverse international organizations (UN, OECD, EU...) and governmental sources, requiring all economic agents to respect certain guidelines that work for the good of society in general.•Pressure from consumer markets: Consumer markets are now gradually changing and a growing number of consumers are making responsible purchases, choosing organic products or those produced in accordance with CSR criteria (fair trade, limited use of non-renewable resources, fair working conditions, etc.).•Pressure from the financial market: The pressure from the financial market is the most recent change. In money markets, a growing number of investors are looking for SRI (socially responsible investment), which refers to funds and companies that develop good CSR practices. Certain studies indicate that investors are not solely moved by altruistic values since there is a positive correlation between social and financial performance (it seems that companies with more developed CSR policies and activities have fewer sanctions, greater quality management, better reputations and are able to recruit and retain the best staff).Reasons that drive companies to adopt CSR criteriaThere are two basic reasons that have led companies to adopt CSR criteria:–On the one hand, greater social awareness on a global scale. Public opinion is increasingly critical of the negative effects of globalization and over the last few years many associations and initiatives have been springing up through nongovernmental organizations, foundations and standards agencies to tackle this issue.–On the other hand, companies themselves are divulging the advantages offered by CSR not only as a defensive strategy that protects them against possible charges and lawsuits, but also as an offensive strategy to create value. This is consequence of the increasing impact of social criteria in consumers’purchasing decisions, as revealed in a recent CSR study in Europe.In general, consumers are not willing to buy products or services from companies that engage in unethical behaviour. Faced with growing competition and the increased transparency of information, companies feel obliged to adopt CSR practices.Even though companies do not usually publicize the specific reasons that have led them to adopt CSR criteria, the European Commission has put together a list of motives, suggested by the companies themselves:–Business ethics.–The personal commitment of the company’s directors.–Improve competitiveness.–Strengthen the company’s image.–Prevent negative publicity, lawsuits or campaigns against the company.–Increase customer loyalty.–Stand out from the competition.–Improve human resources management.–Strengthen the loyalty of management staff.–Attract new employees.–Improve adaptation to change.–Cost reduction.–Tax breaks.CSR and HR managementCSR encompasses a wide range of practices, from respect for the environment to the elimination of discrimination and abuse in the work place.One of the basic aspects of CSR, which is increasingly gaining importance, is the fact that it is also implemented within the company itself, specifically in the area of human resources. Here, CSR spans a wide range of concepts and can vary between the minimum requirements of respecting the workers’basic human rights and the implementation of policies that help employees achieve a work/life balance.These practices can be classified into four main areas:–The recognition of and respect for basic human and workers rights established by the various international bodies.–Adoption of the measures proposed in the European Commission’s Green Book aimed at improving quality of work, such as continuous learning, a better work/life balance, job stability, etc.–Actions in the area of outsourcing, which affect contractors, sub-contractors and suppliers.–Actions related to changes deriving from company restructuring operations, owing to the social consequences of such operations.The following classification can be used to rank companies according to theirCSR activities in this area:–Level zero: these companies do not even comply with legal requirements or respect the basic human rights established by the various international organizations.–Level one: these companies carry out certain social activities, although they make no modifications of their management and therefore they cannot be considered CSR actions.–Level two: these companies implement a reactive strategy in terms of risk prevention by adopting formal initiatives which do not imply a significant change in their management.–Level three: these companies adopt an active approach, integrating CSR criteria into their management.CSR compliance and communication alternatives in HR managementAs mentioned previously, production activities are increasingly being relocated to areas where costs are lower and the authorities are more permissive regarding certain abusive practices. But globalization has also meant that the media publish more information about the activities of companies and any possible abuses.Many people are not willing to purchase products from companies that do not respect the human rights of their workers or employ children in factories located in other parts of the world, even if that same company does not carry out these practices in Europe. Faced with increasingly aware public opinion about the abuses of multinational companies, said companies are expected not only to be honest and honourable, but in particular to appear to be so (much like Caesar’s wife).Large companies suffer from a profound (and often unfair) assumption of guilt that leads them to look for alternatives to strengthen and clean up their corporate image in the eyes of society. The main routes currently used to tackle CSR obligations are:–lists of socially responsible companies;–sustainability indexes;–the establishment of codes of conduct;–the support or ratification of international declarations/standards;–Social reports that seek to increase transparency in human resources management;–certificates guaranteeing that certain human resources ethical management standards are being enforced, accreditations of compliance similar to traditional quality or environmental certificates (such as ISO 9000 or 14000).Sustainability indexesCompanies must prove that they carry out certain CSR activities defined by the index provider in order to gain such accreditation.The two indexes that have had the greatest media impact are the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI Word) and the FTSE4GooD, launched by the two reputable index providers, Dow Jones and FTSE (Financial Times Stock Exchange), respectively.The Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI Word) aims to provide guidance for investors who are concerned about sustainable development and social practices.7 It uses the following social criteria:–corporate citizenship–commitment to interest groups–working practices–development of human capital–organizational learning–social information–attraction and retention of qualified workers–standards for suppliers–specific criteria for each industryThe SA8000 standardOrigin and contentThe SA8000 standard was drafted in 1997 in the United States, with the aim of improving labour conditions on a global scale. It was drawn up by a group of experts brought together by the Council on Economic Priorities Accreditation Agency, CEPAA, including individuals from organizations that represented several interested parties (trade unions, manufacturers, retailers, academic institutions, NGOs, and consultancy firms and certification companies). In 1998, the Social Accountability International (SAI) organization was set up to direct the implementation of the SA8000 standard.Although it is still a little too early for interest groups to know enough about this standard and therefore demand that companies adopt it, standards like this will undoubtedly be imposed and become widespread in organizations just as quality standards have, and hopefully just as quickly.The following elements are involved in the SA8000 certification process:•an active subject, a certifier, to carry out external verification. The active subject must have expert knowledge about the standard and also gain in-depth knowledge about the company being analysed.•a passive subject, the organization, which can be a business organization or not, and which uses a workforce, either directly or indirectly (through outsourcing) and wishes to obtain the SA8000 certificate.•Another fundamental requirement is that the expert must base his or her work on proof that reveals sufficient evidence. A company cannot be reviewed from a distance without in-depth knowledge of the tasks being judged.•A document must be issued that provides a summary of the expert’s opinion,and the expert is responsible for this document. If the certificate is awarded, it has a certain validity timeframe. When this period expires, the company must be reviewed again.•The report is aimed at parties that are interested in knowing whether the company complies with the requirements of the SA8000 standard (these parties are the company’s customers, owners, employees, authorities, governments, etc.) The SA8000 standard indicates three ways in which it can be used:•firstly, as a useful reference for internal audits carried out by the organization itself;•secondly, when the company is audited by another affiliated company (customer, parent company...) in order to verify compliance with the requirements of a standard chosen by the affiliated company; for example a clothing retail outlet might audit the companies that manufacture the garments supplied in relation to the requirements of the SA8000 standard;•thirdly, when the company is audited by an external independent organization that is not a direct customer or supplier, the audit will be carried out by a certification body, a specialist financial audit company, or an NGO, as long as said body is authorized by CEPAA to perform such audits.The advantages and beneficiaries of this standardThe establishment and generalization of standards such as the SA8000 have undeniable advantages not only for workers but also for companies, and certain benefits even reach the consumers.Firstly, workers in emerging countries benefit because their working conditions and wages improve significantly and their circumstances become more dignified. Workers in industrialized countries from the First World would also benefit since standards would dissuade businesses from relocating to other countries (even though this phenomenon is probably inescapable, at least it would be slowed down or certain less labour intensive industries would be saved).The companies also obtain advantages; although a priori they would experience a certain increase in costs, the generalization of standards would make it difficult to carry out social dumping and would be an obstacle to disloyal competition based on unfair and undignified working conditions. Companies would also benefit from other advantages: if standards raise salaries to more dignified levels, the workers will have increased purchasing power, which could enable solvent demand to increase in Third World countries. Of course, organizations that implement this standard also improve their ability to attract the best work force and keep them motivated, and would also increase their sales as a result of their improved image.Finally, there are also benefits for the customers, who would be buying slightly more expensive products but produced with greater transparency and probably much better quality since they would be manufactured in better conditions and by more motivated and satisfied staff .Limitations to the development of the standardNieto and Ferna´ndez (2004) debate whether CSR practices, including standards such as the SA8000, might just be another management fashion,11 with a cycle of growth/saturation, then decline and disappearance just like many other business practices. However, they believe that the positive image conveyed by CSR to the company’s interest groups justifies the long term use of these practices.The implementation of HR management conduct standards comes up against several hurdles: the general lack of awareness about the standards, the lack of certifying companies, cost and control:•Firstly, HR management standards are still not widely known about (not even the SA8000 standard), hence companies not only have to work to adapt their practices to the requirements but also to inform their customers and society of the advantages and commitments of said standard.•Secondly, there are still very few companies that are willing to carry out the required reviews thoroughly and with the right levels of quality. This activity requiresa high degree of specialization and a great deal of work to verify the application of the standards.•The third obstacle is the cost of implementation and the fees charged by accreditation companies. To cap it all, this accreditation must be renewed periodically, therefore the process is very expensive for companies that operate on several continents and even greater for those in which production processes are less integrated.•It is also difficult to control the work carried out by consultancy firms. The fact that the reviewed company pays for the work might influence the opinion of the auditors. Clearly, there is a danger that monitors carry out this task under pressure and unscrupulous consultancy firms could go into the profitable business of ‘‘selling’’certificates that guarantee good practice in human resources without having researched the company thoroughly and conscientiously.中文译文:人力资源管理的企业社会责任适用性:从西班牙的角度分析摘要这篇文章分析了与人力资源管理(HR)有关的企业社会责任概念。

人力资源管理系统中英文资料外文翻译英文原文Vincent R. Ceriello, Christine FreemanJossey-Bass Publishers, 1998Human Resource Management SystemsHuman Resource Management Systems (HRMS) have become one of the most important tools for many businesses. Even the small, 20-person office needs to realize the benefits of using HRMS to be more efficient. Many firms do not realize how much time and money they are wasting on manual human resource management (HRM) tasks until they sit down and inventory their time. HRMS is advancing to become its own information technology (IT) field. It allows companies to cut costs and offer more information to employees in a faster and more efficient way. Especially in difficult economic times, it is critical for companies to become more efficient in every sector of their business; human resources (HR) is no exception.HRIS refers to software packages that address HR needs with respect to planning, employee information access, and employer regulatory compliance. The following text begins with a discussion of human resource planning, followed by human resource management systems.American companies must now operate in a rapidly changing business environment. These changes have important implications for HRM practices. To ensure that management practices support business needs, organizations must continually monitor changing environmental conditions and devise HRM strategies for dealing with them. The procedure used to tie human resource issues to the organization's business needs is called human resource planning. Also known as HR planning, this procedure is defined as the "process of identifying and responding to [organizational needs] …and charting newpolicies, systems, and programs that will assure effective human resource management under changing conditions."Human Resource Management Systems, also called Human Resource modules, is a link between Human resource management and information technology. A Human resource management system provides a single, accurate view of all human resource activities including recruiting, performance management, training and development and also compensation. Human resource management systems reduce the workload of the human resource department as well as increasing the efficiency of the department by standardizing human resource process. Human resource department plays an important role in the smooth running of the company by tracking and analyzing the time keeping and work patterns of the workforce. There are a wide range of applications available to help human resource department in their tasks, making possible the automation of certain tasks and helping in the organization many other tasks.The function of human resource management to large extent is administrative and common to all organizations. Most organizations have formalized selection, evaluation and payroll processes. The function consists of tracking innumerable data of each employee from personal histories, data, skills, capabilities, experiences to payroll records. Organizations began electronically automate many of theses processes by introducing Human resource management systems to reduce the manual workload. Human resource executives depend on internal and external IT professionals to develop and maintain their Human resource management systems due to complexity in programming capabilities and limited technological resources.Human Resource Management Systems (HRMS) provide a link between human resource management and information technology.HRMS allow enterprises to automate many aspects of human resource management, with the dual benefits of reducing the workload of the HR department as well as increasing the efficiency of the department by standardising HR processes.The field of human resources is one that is often overlooked in enterprisemanagement. This situation is aided by the fact that an efficient Human Resources department should function without fanfare. For example, when a project team successfully launches a product on time and within budget it is hailed as a great success. When the HR department manages the administration of the enterprise successfully it can go virtually unnoticed –after all, the Human Resources department is simply expected to work, only attracting attention when there are problems.The reality, however, is very different. The HR department plays a vital role in ensuring the smooth running of an enterprise –most importantly by tracking and analysing the timekeeping and work patterns of the workforce, allowing management better information on which to form strategies.The importance of human resources has not gone unnoticed by the software industry. There is now a wide range of applications available to aid the HR department in their tasks, making possible the automation of certain tasks and aiding in the organisation of many others.HRM software systems (from vendors such as Oracle and Ascentis) are broadly defined by the four basic responsibilities of the HR department, and as such typically contain standalone modules to address the needs of each responsibility:Payroll Module: The payroll module greatly reduces the workload of the HR department by automating the payroll process, allowing HR to ensure that payroll functions are completed on time and without errors.At its most basic level the payroll module is supported by the manual entry of timekeeping and attendance data from paper-based timesheets submitted by the workforce. More advanced systems track employee timekeeping through automatic systems, connected to either a ‘clocking in’system or a tracker connected to the desktop computers of the employees.Once attendance data is fed into the system, the payroll module automatically calculates payment amounts and various deductions such as income tax before generating paychecks and employee tax reports.Time and Labour Management Module: The time and labour management module is designed to collate and analyse employee timekeeping information for the purposes of organisational cost accounting.By sourcing data directly from the timekeeping devices and methods used to calculate payroll this module can provide management with valuable data regarding the use of labour resources within the enterprise.Benefit Administration Module: Thebenefit administration module providesHR personnel with the capacity to monitorand manage employee participation in arange of benefit programs. Theseprograms can range from programs relatedto the wellbeing of the workforce (such ashealth insurance and pension schemes) to profit making programs (such as stock option plans and profit sharing).HR Management Module: The HR management module provides a range of HR solutions ranging from analyses of application data through to the basic demographic dataof employees.The management module allows HR personnel to effectively manage the Human Capital Pool (HCP) available within the enterprise, in that it keeps track of the training and development of the workforce and the skills and qualifications of each employee. Advanced HR management modules can also automate the process of application for positions by capturing application data and entering it to a relevant database.Benefits of HRMSWhile these modules each provide benefits to the HR department itself, the applications also aid the enterprise as a whole.HRM systems convert human resources information into a digital format, allowing that information to be added to the knowledge management systems of the enterprise. The result of this is that HR data can be integrated into the larger Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems of the enterprise.In analysing enterprise wide resource usage this data can prove invaluable. Data related to the time usage of the workforce can enhance the decision making abilities of management, allowing the HR department to form an integral aspect of strategy formation for the enterprise as a whole.中文译文人力资源管理系统(HRMS)已成为许多企业的重要的工具之一。

The Fatal Flaw in Pay for PerformanceMany corporate boards, responding to shareholder and public pressure, are designing pay-for-performance plans to hold CEOs accountable. But there is often a crucial flaw in such schemes: They don’t pay for performance with integrity.The omission—evident from compensation committee reports in top companies’ proxy statements—is striking. Corporations, after all, face unceasing pressures to make the numbers by bending the rules, and an integrity miss can have catastrophic consequences, including indictments, fines, dismissals, and collapse of market capitalization. Furthermore, performance with integrity creates the fundamental trust—inside and outside the company—on which corporate power is based.A board should explicitly base a defined portion of the CEO’s cash compensation and equity grants on his or her success in handling the foundational task of fusing high performance with high integrity at all levels of the company. Why don’t boards do that They may be uncertain about the meaning of integrity and how to assess its integration into financial performance.Step one, then, in designing pay for performance with integrity is using the following definition: Integrity is a uniform corporate culture with three elements—robust adherence to formal rules; adoption of ethical standards that are in the company’s long-term enlightened self-interest; and employee commitment to honesty, candor, fairness, trustworthiness, and reliability. Step two is for the board to assess whether the CEO has infused high performance with high integrity. The board can do that by answering the following questions, using hard analytics as well as the board members’ own ju dgment.Has the CEO established company-wide performance-with-integrity principles for which the firm’s leaders are responsible and accountable Examples of these include demonstrating committed and consistent integrityleadership; managing performance with integrity as a business process; using early-warning systems to stay ahead of global trends; providing timely, risk-assessed training; and giving employees a voice.Have the CEO and top managers implemented these principles through robust practices If leaders don’t invest time, effort, and resources in embedding key integrity practices in business processes, “tone at the top” is just window dre ssing. For examples, see the sidebar “The Practice of Performance with Integrity.”Has integrity permeated every aspect of the corporate culture One vital tool for assessing that is an annual, anonymous employee survey across all businesses and regions that asks, “Is integrity compromised by business pressures” and “Are the leaders’ verbal commitments to integrity reflected in action” The board can also have outside HR experts periodically conduct 360-degree assessments of the CEO and top executives that explore such questions.Has the CEO met annual performance-with-integrity objectives set by the board One example might be effectively handling a major miss or crisis—an environmental accident, a bribery case, or a financial restatement—and remedying the problem systematically after a candid analysis of its causes. Another objective might be hiring leaders in emerging markets such as China, Russia, and India who are skilled in integrating performance and integrity.How do business divisions rate comparatively The board should look at how integrity practices differ among divisions and how the CEO deals with laggards. It should also look at how the units rank against external peers. This may require data from news or government reports or a comparative audit by, say, a former regulatory official.The board’s standards for assessing pay for performance with integrity should also define a new set of “specs” in the company’s CEO succession planning. In evaluating candidates, the board should ask: Do they possess the knowledge, experience, and skills to drive a robust performance-with-integrity culture deep into the company’s global operations The same specsshould be used to evaluate the compensation of senior executives and set goals for leadership development programs. That’s the best way to ensure that, over the long term, the company’s top ranks are filled with managers who live by the principles and practices of performance with integrity—and thus help the company avoid debilitating risks and secure the trust that is vital to doing business.Here’s a sample list of ques tions greatly shortened because of space limits that will help boards assess a CEO’s performance-with-integrity practices. They can be answered using tools like process reviews and substantive audits and external outcomes such as environmental violations or customer complaints.LeadershipDoes the CEO...communicate to the organization that integrity must never be compromised to make the numbersdiscipline generals, not just troops, for integrity lapsesaddress difficult integrity issues regularly at staff meetingsBusiness processesDoes the CEO...build a strong integrity infrastructure—processes for preventing, detecting, and responding to lapses in all businesses and regions—and put A players in charge of itassess integrity needs realistically and provide adequate funding for those activitiesrespond promptly to early warnings on trends in legal, ethical, and country risksGiving employees a voiceDoes the CEO...encourage reporting of financial, legal, and ethical concerns through a system that prevents retaliationensure that concerns are investigated fairly and promptly, that trends are tracked, and that remedial action is taken if neededFrom the point of view of productivity, it is production or other economic activities of human labor input the monetary funds manifestations, is the final cost of the product components. In the conditions of market economy, enterprises mainly through paid to the accounting or measuring production and other economic activities of human labor consumption. Due to the pressure of competition, enterprises must consider cutting labor costs.From the point of view of the relations of production, compensation for the income distribution reflects the outcome of the staff was theallocation of shares. Under the current social system of our country, compensation is the main sources to the means of subsistence consumption of workers. It have a major impact on the level of consumption and the consumption structure , and consumption actually is the process of reproduction labor, reproduction of labor also has an important influencein the next phase of production. Therefore, the compensation’s level has great significance for sustained and stable increase production or promote other economic activities.Such a dual character of compensation, it decided that the compensation management is actually reduce expenditure and income distribution on production costs and that continued to improve pay levels of this contradiction and make an adjustment.2The function of compensationThe function of compensation may from the enterprises, workers and social aspects to inspect:①From the point of view of the enterpr ises, compensation has the following functions: First, the increment functions. Compensation is not only the costs of purchase labor by enterprises, as well as the investment of live working , it will give employers greater than expected cost benefits. The existence of such benefit, provided the impetus mechanism of labor employment and investment labor for the enterprises. Second, the promoting functions. Compensation is a evaluation of workers and operators’ performance, reflect the quality and quantity conditions of work. Therefore, the compensation can promote staff constantly improvetheir work efficiency and enthusiasm. Third, the coordination functions. While the movement of compensation, put the organization's goals and intentions of managers to employees, correspond the relationship between staff and enterprises, and promote the consistent of staff’ action and enterprises correspond. On the other hand, the reasonable of compensation’ differentials and structure can effectively mediate the conflict between the employees, and harmony the human relationships.②From the point of view of the employee, compensation has thefollowing functions: First, the reproduction of labor ensure functions. Staff through the labor and services exchange for compensation, so that they could meet the need of food, clothing, shelter, withthe basic needs of life, thereby achieving a reproduction of labor force. Second is to achieve functional value. Compensation is an evaluation for enterprises to pay for their employees, also is the recognition of staff capability and level, is the returns of the implement of individuals value, and the signal of successful promotion, it reflects the employees’ relative position and function in enterprises, it can make the staff have a sense of achievement and satisfaction, and thus inspire greater enthusiasm for the work.Third,reasonable compensation will be strong the trust of enterprise by staff ,buildup the expected increase risk of psychological sense ofsecurity and a sense of security for the staff.③From the point of view of the social, compensation has the relocate function of labor force resources for the social. Most people will bewilling to the higher compensation regions, departments and the post. As a manager can use the difference compensation to guide human resources reasonable flow, promote the effective distribution for human resources, implement the human resources development and maximize efficiency. In addition, compensation also can apply the occupational value and types of work by people, compensation level to a certain extent reflect the types of work or social values, thereby adjust the people's occupational aspirations and the flows of obtain employment.Compensation has always been an attention task, it is not merelyrelated to each person's personal interests, is involved in every organization, the whole community, and even the entire country's socio-economic development. Therefore, compensation is that foreign scholars have always been an important research subject.The Motivation theory of compensation is the basis of the compensation management theory. Motivation is the most important and most basicfunctions in compensation. How to use the compensation to motivate the staff’ efficiency and enthusiasm, is the core content of compensation study, design and compensation management. Reasonable, fair and competitive compensation is the most important factors to encourage the employees to work hard. Reasonable, and effective compensation management mechanism between prompting is a benign interaction. Effective compensation mechanism must motivate the staff use higher quantity and quality to completed tasks, and higher quantity and quality of work must bring higher compensation.Motivation is a psychology concept, in its essence, it is said that some motivation by the reasons, some occurred motive acts is produced. For example, the same person, why do their sometimes work actively, and sometimes flagging spirit and no mood to work, or even negative go slow Now, put the motivation concept into management practice, endow a new meaning. That is motivation is a spiritual power or state, the staff has stepped up, inspire and promote the role and instruction or guidance staff conduct atthe organization's goals. Therefore, not only to study some kind of motivation how is, more crucial to examine how to promote the management of a particular object have the motivation how to guide them with their full force to achieve a particular goal. Today's society, more and more motivation by many managers in the implementation guidance and leadershipis seen as an important method thus effectively integrate human, using technology to achieve reunification of all employees ,it will also make the personal ease of mind, the achievement of organizational objectives.In the understanding the basis of human, and many scholars research the needs and conduct of human, But it has the same purpose of the study, namely : how to inspire motivation, how to analyze needs, how to determine action, adopted to meet the needs of the people to achieve their basic objective, so as to achieve an effective motivation.At present, domestic and foreign scholars have recognized the main motivation theory: Hierarchy of Needs Theory, Two-factor theory, Equity Theory, Expectancy theory of motivation. This text simply introduce Hierarchy of Needs Theory and Expectancy theory of motivation.Maslow put forward the hierarchy of needs theory, it thinks that the needs of human is arisen with the arrangement form, from the junior programs need to begin to move upwards to senior needs. Maslow thinks thatit generally has five levels of needs in social life by people:physiological needs, security needs and society needs, respect needs andself-actualization needs.Maslow also considers that when a need to be met, and a higher level of need will occupy the dominant position, the individual needs of the layerto rise. From the point of motivation, no a need will be fully met, However, as long as the meeting is part of the individual will to pursue other aspects of their needs. According to Maslow's view, if we want to inspire someone, it is imperative to understand which hierarchy of needs by the person, then focused on meeting the needs of this level or above this level needs. Maslow's theory gained all-pervading recognition, especially gained the recogniztion from practice by many managers. This is mainly due to thetheory simple and clear, easy to understand the inherent logic. Its maximize usefulness lies in the fact that it points out the need for every person. As managers, in order to effectively it is necessary to understand their subordinates what is need to meet.Expectancy theory of motivation is proposed by FulumuV. H. Vroom who is the United States psychologists. The basic viewpoints of Expectancy theory of motivation is: People expect their actions will help to achieve acertain target circumstances, will be incentive to do certain things together to achieve our goals. Performance is the three function of perceived: expectations, relevance and potency.In the reform process of state-owned enterprise, the internal reform of the compensation system is always the summit concerned by all the levels of managers. The reform of enterprises compensation system throughout the entire process of state-owned enterprises reform. While managers at all levels pay great attention to design and pay system reform in China but the majority of businesses pay system still faced with many problems and shortcomings at present, and many enterprises’ employees is not high satisfaction of the compensation system, the compensation system of enterprises has failed to play the role of incentive, didn’t become the norm to workers. Like other state-owned enterprises. When the E&Y factory carry through the compensation management, also not fully understand that the compensation system of enterprises must support and services to the enterprise's strategic goals. Greater extent on the existence of compensation to compensation, distribute the Equity and reasonable into the reform and development process as a goal and not what kind of compensation system will be favorable to corporate strategy and the implement of human resource strategy, E&Y factory do not from their own strategies and the overall human resources strategy starting to reform and improve the compensation system, and do not foothold in the enterprise business strategy and human resources strategy, according to labor market, Finally formed enterprises compensation management system. Enterprises lack of management experience in professional human resources management sector in the medium and long term development strategy of Research and decompositionto the enterprise, according to the external market and the development of enterprises and work out development strategies that suit the salary management system, lack of study on compensation management. Although enterprises also pay a certain of reform for compensation system in recent years, but these reforms are not from the height of corporate strategy and the enterprise fails to reflect the strategic objectives and positioning.Due to the inference of traditional structure and the traditional concept, the existing compensation structure of enterprise is relatively average, no reasonable began gap, the price of enterprises compensation and labor market detached from the price of labor market, key positions in the compensation level below the external market compensation level and without external competition; And non-key positions in the compensation higher than the market level. The compensation of ordinary workers is higher than the market price. From the exterior, non-key positions ordinary workers of enterprise whose compensation their salary level higher than the average level in society, one side it increases the cost of human and waste the limited financial of enterprises, as ordinary employees in the labor market, especially in the large population of urban areas is a serious oversupply. There is absolutely no need to pay their high compensation, even paid high wages to stimulate all their enthusiasm, but is not worth from the inputand output view of the relative efficiency , form the internal, non-critical positions in higher compensation levels, contrast, key positionson the low compensation levels, it will increase the sense of unfairness in key positions, in the important positions of workersThe staff of some key posts and important positions of the enterprise, their compensation were lower than the prices of market compensation. As we all know, the compensation level of enterprises in the talent market, and even the whole society should certainly attractive, In order to attract and retain talent, it can be overcome competitors. For first-rate talent should be given first-class return. If the key employees and the core staff income lower than the standards of social level, external competitiveness will be relatively weak, it will make the enterprises fail to hold the human, and led to serious unreasonable human resource structure in the enterprise.From the circumstances of investigation by us, on the one hand, many employees discontent the existing compensation system in the reflected rewards; On the other hand, there are many staff can not correctly deal with the compensation gap. Staff on the compensation gap issue of love and hate, this bring a big resistance to the reform of compensation, even though the good idea is hardly to implement.As enterprise managers, are not to break the original pattern, the result is to make the large contribution of staff and Core staff lost their jobs initiative and creativity, even cause the missing of talent in the enterprises.Through the design of compensation in E&Y factory, which broke the original pattern of the compensation system, re-designing the compensation structure, recycling a compensation, under a new establishment of the guidance of modern theory of incentives, enterprise operations and staff compensation levels closely fall together, combine the income of employees and work performance closely, It will be able to maximize the mobilization of staff enthusiasm, initiative and creativity, strengthen the staff of responsibility and urgency, improve work efficiency, increase performance, make greatest contribution to meet the development goals of enterprise, to adapt the changes in the internal and external environment, protect the long-term stable and healthy development of the new compensation system.During the process of design of compensation system, and strive to achieve the following objectives: Providing a basic ideas and framework for the compensation of distribution to the enterprises, reasonable structure, strong maneuverability; give priority to efficiency and give consideration to fairness; adhere to equal compensation for equal work, embodied rewards; at the same time, appropriate increasing the total compensation, reasonable widening income gaps.绩效薪酬的致命缺陷小本杰明·海涅曼迫于股东和公众压力,许多公司董事会都在努力建立与业绩挂钩的薪酬体系,以期CEO们恪尽职守;但是,此类薪酬体系往往存在一个致命缺陷:仅关注业绩,而忽略了操守;从顶级公司股东委托书所附的薪酬委员会报告可以看出,这种忽略是显而易见的;毕竟,上市公司始终面临着完成业绩目标的巨大压力;为此,它们不惜违规违纪;然而,这种职业操守的缺失将导致各种灾难性后果,包括起诉纠纷、罚款赔付、解雇免职以及市值暴跌;殊不知,操守与业绩并重,才能在公司内外赢得最基本的信任,而公司力量也只是建立在信任的基础之上;在公司各个层面上将高尚操守和卓越业绩相融合是CEO的基本任务,董事会应该在CEO的现金和股权报酬中划出一定比例,专门与CEO在上述任务上的表现挂钩;但董事会为何没有这样做呢这可能是因为他们自己对操守的含义也并不确定,更不知道该如何考核职业操守与财务业绩的融合了;那么,董事会要设计重操守的绩效薪酬制,第一步要做的就是引入操守概念:操守是全公司的统一文化,有三个要素组成——坚决遵守正式的规章制度;采用符合公司长远利益同时又不损害他人利益的伦理标准;员工要承诺做到诚实坦率、公平公正、可信可靠;第二步,董事会需运用一些复杂的分析工具,当然也要运用他们的个人判断力,来考核CEO是否已经把高尚操守和卓越业绩相融合;董事会可根据以下问题判断:CEO是否在全公司范围内制定了操守和业绩并重的薪酬制度,且由公司领导层对此负责举例而言,CEO应该做到:领导层始终如一地恪守职业操守,把操守和业绩的结合当作一项业务流程来管理,运用预警系统抢先把握全球商业规范趋势,及时提供道德风险评估培训,并保证员工的发言权;CEO和高管们是否在实践中贯彻了这些原则如果领导层没有投入足够的时间、精力和资源,将关键的操守原则落实到公司的业务流程中,那么所谓的“高层主张”就只不过是空口白话而已;操守原则是否已渗透到公司文化的每个层面一个重要的评估工具就是覆盖公司所有业务及地区的员工匿名年度调查表,其中包括这些问题:“操守原则是否会向商业压力让步”“在恪守职业操守方面,领导是否言行一致”董事会还可以定期邀请外部的人力资源管理专家,同样就此类问题对CEO和高管进行360度评估;CEO是否完成了董事会设定的操守和业绩并重的年度目标比如说,这个目标是:CEO有效处理严重失误或危机如环境事故、贿赂案,或者财务造假,并且在对事件起因进行坦诚分析后,有条不紊地解决问题;又比如:在新兴市场如中国、俄罗斯和印度聘用善于兼顾操守与业绩的领导者;公司各事业部在职业操守方面的相对表现如何董事会要观察各事业部之间的操守差异,以及CEO是如何处理那些落后分部的;同时,董事会还要将这些事业部与公司外部的同行进行比较;这可能需要从新闻报道、政府报告或前监管机构官员的的比较审计资料中收集数据董事会在明确上述考核标准时,还应制定一套新的CEO继任“规范”;在考量候选人时,董事会应该问:他们的知识、经验、能力是否有利于推动操守和业绩并重的健康企业文化,使之深入公司在全球的每一个经营机构另外,这套规范还应当运用在高管薪酬评估,以及领导人培养项目的目标设定中;长期来看这也是确保公司高层坚持操守和业绩并重原则的最佳方式,有助于公司规避风险,获取商界成功所必需的信任;操守与业绩并重的管理实践下面列出的一份问题清单样本限于篇幅,问题数量已经大大缩减,对董事会评估CEO兼顾操守与业绩的实际行为会有所帮助;要找到这些问题的答案,可以借助流程评估、独立审计和外部影响如环境损害或客户投诉等手段;领导力CEO是否……告知组织上下,操守原则决不向像业绩目标让步不仅仅规范普通员工的操守,同时也约束高层领导的行为定期在员工会议上处理有关操守的棘手问题业务流程CEO是否……为员工恪守职业操守创造必要的基础条件——设计流程用以防范、发现并处理公司各业务、各地区内的不端行为,并安排明星员工负责此项工作现实地评估操守需求,并拨出足够的经费予以支持对法律风险、伦理风险和国家风险的变化提出预警,并及时应对让员工有发言权CEO是否……鼓励员工通过正式系统来报告财务问题、法律问题以及伦理问题,同时防止员工因此遭受打击报复确保及时公正地研究问题,跟踪问题的发展趋势,并在必要时采取补救措施从生产力角度看,它是企业生产或其他经济活动中投入的活劳动的货币资金表现形式,是产品最终成本的构成要素;在市场经济条件下,企业主要通过薪酬来核算或计量生产与其他经济活动中活劳动的消耗;由于竞争的压力,企业必须考虑不断降低活劳动的成本;从生产关系角度看,薪酬体现为收入分配的结果,是员工所获得的分配份额;在我国现行社会制度下,薪酬是劳动者获取生活资料进行消费的主要来源;它对消费水平和消费结构都有重要的影响,而消费实际上是劳动力再生产的过程,劳动力的再生产又对下一步生产具有重要影响;因此,薪酬水平的持续稳定提高对于推动生产或其他经济活动具有十分重要的意义;薪酬的这种两面性,决定了薪酬管理实际上就是对生产成本上不断降低薪酬支出与收入分配上不断提高薪酬水平的这一矛盾而作出的一种调节;①从企业方面看,薪酬具有以下功能:一是增值功能;薪酬既是企业购买劳动力的成本,也是用来交换劳动者活劳动的手段,同时还是一种对活劳动的投资,它能够给雇主带来预期大于成本的收益;这种收益的存在,为企业主雇佣劳动力、投资劳动力提供了动力机制;二是激励功能;薪酬是对劳动者和经营者工作绩效的一种评价,反映着其工作的数量和质量状况;因此,薪酬可以激励员工不断提高工作效率和工作积极性;三是协调功能;一方面薪酬额的变动,将组织的目标和管理者的意图传递给员工,协调员工与企业之间的关系,促使员工行为与企业目标相一致;另一方面,合理的薪酬差别和结构,能有效地调解雇员之间的矛盾,从而协调好人际关系;②从员工方面看,薪酬具有以下功能:一是劳动力再生产保障功能;员工通过劳动和服务行为换取薪酬,从而能满足本人及家庭的吃、穿、住、用等基本生活需求,进而实现着劳动力的再生产;二是价值实现功能;薪酬是企业对员工工作付出的一个评价,是对员工工作能力和水平的承认,也是对个人价值实现的回报,是晋升和成功的信号,它反映了员工在企业中的相对地位和作用,能使员工产生满足感和成就感,并进而激发出更大的工作热情;三是合理的薪酬能加强员工对企业的信任感,增强员工对预期风险的心理保障意识和安全感;③从社会方面看,薪酬对社会具有劳动力资源的再配置功能;人们一般都会愿意到薪酬较高的地区、部门和岗位工作,作为管理者可以利用薪酬差别可以引导人力资源的合理流向,促进人力资源的有效配置,实现人力资源开发和利用效率的最大化;另外,薪酬也调节着人们对职业和工种的评价,薪酬水平从某种程度上反映着该职业或工种的社会价值,从而调节着人们职业的愿望和就业的流向;薪酬历来都是一个倍受关注的课题,它不仅仅关系到每个人的切身利益,更是牵涉到每个组织,整个社会,乃至整个国家的社会经济发展;所以,薪酬也历来是国内外学者研究的重要课题;激励理论是薪酬管理理论的基础;激励是薪酬众多功能中最重要、最基本的功能之一;如何通过薪酬来激励员工的工作积极性和工作效率,是进行薪酬研究、设计和薪酬管理的核心内容;合理、公平和富有竞争力的薪酬是激励员工努力工作的最重要因素之一;合理、有效的薪酬管理机制与激励之间是一个良性的互动过程;有效的薪酬机制必然激励员工以更高的数量和质量完成工作任务,而更高数量和质量的工作也必然带来更高的薪酬;激励原本是一个心理学的概念,就其本质而言,它是表示某种动机所产生的原因,即发生某种行为的动机是如何产生的;例如,同样一个人,为何有时工作积极,有时却精神萎靡不振,无心做事,甚至消极怠工现在,把激励这个概念引入到管理实践中,就赋予了新的含义;也就是说激励是一种精神力量或状态,对员工起加强、激发和推动作用,并指导或引导员工行为指向组织的目标;因此,不仅要研究某种动机是如何产生的,关键更要研究如何促使被管理对象产生某种特定的动机,如何引导他们拿出自己的全部力量来为实现某一目标而努力;当今社会,激励已经越来越被许多管理者在实施指导与领导工作中被视为重要的方法,从而有效地结合人力,运用技术,达到统一全体员工的意志,又使个人心情舒畅,实现组织的目标;在对人的认识的基础上,许多学者对人的需求、行为进行了研究,但研究的目的都有一个是相同点,即:如何激发动机,如何分析需求,如何判定行为,通过人们需要的满足达到自己的基本目标,从而实现有效激励;目前国内外学者所公认的激励理论主要有:需求层次理论、双因素理论、公平理论、期望理论等;下面本文简单地对需求层次理论、期望理论作一个介绍;马斯洛提出了需要层次理论,认为人类的需要是以层次的形式出现的,由低级的需要开始逐级向上发展到高级的需要;马斯洛认为人们在社会生活中一般有五个层次的需要:生理需要、安全需要、社会需要、尊重需要、自我实现的需要;马斯洛还认为,当一种需要得到满足后,另一种更高层次的需要就会占据主导地位,个体的需要是逐层上升的;从激励的角度看,没有一种需要会得到完全满足,但只要其得到部分的满足个体就会转向追求其它方面的需要了;按照马斯洛的观点,如果希望激励某人,就必须了解此人目前所处的需要层次,然后着重满足这一层次或在此层次之上的需要;马斯洛的理论得到了普遍的认可,特别是得到了广大实践中的管理者的认可;这主要归功于该理论简单明了、易于理解、具有内在的逻辑性;其最大的用处在于它指出了每个人均有需要;身为主管人员,为了有效地激励下属,就必须要了解其下属需要满足的是什么;期望理论是美国心理学家弗鲁姆提出的;期望理论的基本观点是:人们在预期他们的行动将会有助于达到某个目标的情况下,才会被激励起来去做某些事情以达到目标;绩效是三大知觉的函数:期望、关联性和效价;从心理学的角度来考察,期望理论包含三种特定的心理联系:首先是努力付出与业绩联系,即指个人所感知的通过努力能够实现预期业绩日标的可能性;其次是业绩与薪酬的关系,它是个人对通过一定水平的努力能够取得预期薪酬的认定程度;最后是结果或薪酬的吸引力,表明实现预期结果或所获得的薪酬对个人来说重要性有多大;在国有企业改革的进程中,企业内部薪酬制度的改革一直是各级管理者普遍关注的热点;企业薪酬制度的改革贯穿于国有企业改革的全过程;虽然各级管理非常重视薪酬设计与薪酬制度的改革但是目前我国的绝大多数企业的薪酬制度还是面临着诸多的问题和不足,许多企业的员工对薪酬制度的满意度总是不高,企业的薪酬制度并没有能发挥出应有的激励作用,没有变成职工行为的规范;和其他国有企业一样;进行薪酬管理时,还没有充分地认识到企业的薪酬制度一定要支持和服务于企业的战略目标的重要性;在较大程度上存在着就薪酬论薪酬,把公平、合理地分配薪酬本身当成一种目的而不是关注什么样的薪酬制度会在企业改革与发展过程中有利于企业战略和人力资源战略的实现,没有从自身的总体战略和人力资源战略出发来改革和完善薪酬制度,并没有立足于企业的经营战略和人力资源战略,以劳动力市场为依据,最后形成企业的薪酬管理系统;企业在薪酬管理方面缺乏有经验的专业人力资源管理部门来对企业的中长期的发展战。

人力资源管理战略外文翻译文献(文档含中英文对照即英文原文和中文翻译)原文:The Strategic Role of Human Resource ManagementTyson,S1. Human Resource Management at WorkWhat Is Human Resource ManagementTo understand what human resource management is, we should first reviewwhat managers do. Most experts agree that there are five basic functionsall managers perform' planning, organizing, staffing, leading, andcontrolling. In total, these functions represent the management process.Some of the specific activities involved in each function include:Planning: Establishing goals and standards; developing rules andprocedures; developing plans and forecasting—predicting or projectingsome future occurrence.Organizing: Giving each subordinate a specific task; establishing departments; delegating authority to subordinates; establishing channelsof authority and communication; coordinating the work of subordinates.Staffing: Deciding what type of people should be hired; recruitingprospective employees; selecting employees; setting performancestandards; compensating employees; evaluating performance; counselingemployees; training and developing employees.Leading: Getting others to get the job done; maintaining morale;motivating subordinates.Controlling: Setting standards such as sales quotas, quality standards, or production levels; checking to see how actual performance compares withthese standards; taking corrective action as needed.In this book, we are going to focus on one of these functions: the staffing,personnel management, or (as it's usually called today) human resource(HR) management function. Human resource management refers to thepractices and policies you need to carry out the people or personnelaspects of your management job. These include:Conducting job analyses (determining the nature of each employee's job)Planning labor needs and recruiting job candidatesSelecting job candidatesOrienting and training new employeesManaging Wages and Salaries (how to compensate employees )Providing incentives and benefitsAppraising performanceWhy Is HR Management Important to All ManagersWhy are these concepts and techniques important to all managers? Perhapsit's easier to answer this by listing some of the personnel mistakes youdon't want to make while managing. For example, you don't want:To hire the wrong person for the jobTo experience high turnoverTo find your people not doing their bestTo waste time with useless interviewsTo have your company taken to court because of your discriminatory actions To have your company cited under federal occupational safety laws for unsafe practicesTo have some of your employees think their salaries are unfair and inequitable relative to others in the organizationTo allow a lack of training to undermine your department's effectiveness To commit any unfair labor practicesCarefully studying this book can help you avoid mistakes like these. More important, it can help ensure that you get results —through others. Remember that you could do everything else right as a manager — lay brilliant plans, draw clear organization charts, set up modern assembly lines, and use sophisticated accounting controls — but still fail as a manager by hiring the wrong people or by not motivating subordinates, for instance).On the other hand, many managers-whether presidents, generals, governors, or supervisors-have been successful even with inadequate plans, organization, or controls. They were successful because they had the knack for hiring the right people for the right jobs and motivating, appraising, and developing them.Remember as you read this book that getting results is the bottom line of managing and that, as a manager, you will have to get these results through people As one company president summed up:"For many years it has been said that capital is the bottleneck for a developing industry. I don't think this any longer holds true. I think it's the work force and the company's inability to recruit and maintain a good work force that does constitute the bottleneck for production. I don't know of any major project backed by good ideas, vigor, and enthusiasm that has been stopped by a shortage of cash. I do know of industries whose growth has been partly stopped or hampered because they can't maintain an efficient and enthusiastic labor force, and I think this will hold true even more in the future---"At no time in our history has that statement been truer than it is today. As we'll see in a moment, intensified global competition, deregulation, and technical advances have triggered an avalanche of change, one that many firms have not survived. In this environment, the future belongs to those managers who can best manage change; but to manage change they must have committed employees who do their jobs as if they own the company. In this book we'll see that human resource management practices and policies can play a crucial role in fostering such employee commitment and in enabling the firm to better respond to change.2. Line and Staff Aspects of HRMAll managers are, in a sense, HR managers, since they all get involved in activities like recruiting, interviewing, selecting, and training. Yet most firms also have a human resource department with its own human resource manager. How do the duties of this HR manager and his or her staff relate to "line" managers' human resource duties? Let’s answer this question, starling with a short definition of line versus staff authority. Line versus Staff AuthorityAuthority is the right to make decisions, to direct the work of others, and to give orders. In management, we usually distinguish between line authority and staff authority.Line managers are authorized to direct the work of subordinates —they're always someone's boss. In addition, line managers are in charge of accomplishing the organization's basic goals (Hotel managers and the managers for production and sales are generally line managers, for example. They have direct responsibility for accomplishing the organization's basic goals. They also have the authority to direct the work of their subordinates. ) Staff managers, on the other hand, are authorized to assist and advise line managers in accomplishing these basic goals. HR managers are generally staff managers. They are responsible for advising line managers (like those for production and sales) in areas like recruiting, hiring, and compensation.Line Managers' Human Resource Management ResponsibilitiesAccording to one expert, 'The direct handling of people is, and always has been, an integral part of every line manager's responsibility, from president down to the lowest-level supervisor.For example, one major company outlines its line supervisors' responsibilities for effective human resource management under the following general headings:Placing the right person on the right jobStarting new employees in the organization (orientation)Training employees for jobs that are new to themImproving the job performance of each personGaining creative cooperation and developing smooth working relationships Interpreting the company s policies and proceduresControlling labor costsDeveloping the abilities of each personCreating and maintaining departmental moraleProtecting employees' health and physical conditionIn small organizations, line managers may carry out all these personnel duties unassisted. But as the organization grows, they need the assistance, specialized knowledge, and advice of a separate human resource staff. Human Resource Department's HR Management ResponsibilitiesThe human resource department provides this specialized assistance. Indoing so, the HR manager carries out three distinct functions:A line function.First, the HR manager performs a line function by directing the activities of the people in his or her own department and in service areas (like the plant cafeteria). In other words, he or she exerts line authority within the personnel department. HR managers are also likely to exert implied authority. This is so because line managers know the HR manager often has access to top management in personnel areas like testing and affirmative action. As a result, HR managers' "suggestions" are often viewed as "orders from topside". This implied authority carries even more weight with supervisors troubled with human resource/personnel problems.A coordinative function. HR managers also function as coordinators of personnel activities, a duty often referred to as functional control. Here the HR manager and department act as "the right arm of the top executive to as sure him (or her) that HR objectives, policies, and procedures (concerning, for example, occupational safety and health) which have been approved and adopted are being consistently carried out by line managers. Staff (service) functions. Serving and assisting line managers is the "bread and butter" of the HR manager's job. For example, HR assists in the hiring, training, evaluating, rewarding, counseling, promoting, and firing of employees. It also administers the various benefit programs (health and accident insurance, retirement, vacation, and so on). It assists line managers in their attempts to comply with equal employment and occupational safety laws. And it plays an important role with respect to grievances and labor relations. As part of these service activities, the HR managers land department) also carry out an "innovator" role by providing 'up to date information on current trends and new methods of solving problems. For example, there is much interest today in instituting reengineering programs and in providing career planning for employees. HR managers stay on top of such trends and help their organizations implement the required programs.Cooperative Line and Staff Human Resource Management:An ExampleExactly which HR management activities are carried out by line managers and staff managers? There's no single division of line and staff responsibilities that could be applied across the board in all organizations. But to show you what such a division might look like. This shows some HR responsibilities of line managers and staff managers in five areas: recruitment and selection; training and development; compensation; labor relations; and employee security and safety.For example, in the area of recruiting and hiring it's the line manager’s responsibility to specify the qualifications employees need to fill specific positions. Then the HR staff takes over. They develop sources of qualified applicants and conduct initial screening interviews. They administer the appropriate tests. Then they refer the best applicants tothe supervisor (line manager), who interviews and selects the ones he or she wants.In summary, HR management is an integral part of every manager's job. Whether you're a first-line supervisor, middle manager, or president, whether you're a production manager, sales manager, office manager, hospital administrator, county manager (or HR manager), getting results through people is the name of the game. And to do this, you'll need a good working knowledge of the human resource/personnel concepts and techniques in this book.4. Tomorrow's HRTrends like globalization and technological innovation are changing the way firms are managed. Organizations today must grapple with revolutionary trends, accelerating product and technological change, globalize competition, deregulation, demographic changes, and trends toward a service society and the information age.These trends have changed the playing field on which firms must compete. In particular, they have dramatically increased the degree of competition in virtually all industries, while forcing firms to cope with unprecedented product innovation and technological change.In the companies that have successfully responded to these challenges, new modes of organizing and managing have emerged.For example:The traditional, pyramid-shaped organization is giving way to new organizational forms. At firms like AT&T the new way of organizing stresses cross-functional teams and boosting interdepartmental communications.There is a corresponding de-emphasis on "sticking to the chain of command" to get decisions made. At General Electric, Chairman Jack Welch talks of the boundary less organization, in which employees do not identify with separate departments but instead interact with whomever they must to get the job done.Employees are being empowered to make more and more decisions. Experts argue for turning the typical organization upside down. They say today's organization should put the customer on top and emphasize that every move the company makes should be toward satisfying the customer's needs. Management must therefore empower its front-line employees—the front desk clerks at the hotel, the cabin attendants on the Delta plane, and the assemblers at Saturn. In other words, employees need the authority to respond quickly to the customer's needs. The main purpose of managers in this "upside down" organization is to serve the front-line employees, to see that they have what they need to do their jobs —and thus to serve the customers.Flatter organizations are the norm. Instead of the pyramid-shaped organization with its seven to ten or more layers of management, flat organizations with just three or four levels will prevail. Many companies(including AT&T and General Electric) have already cut the management layers from a dozen to six or fewer. As the remaining managers have more people reporting to them, they will be less able to meddle in the work of their subordinates.Work itself—on the factory floor, in the office, even in the hotel —is increasingly organized around teams and processes rather than specialized functions. On the plant floor, a worker will not just have the job of installing the same door handle over and over again. He or she will belong to a multifunction team, one that manages its own budget and controls the quality of own work.The bases of power are changing. "In the new organization, " says management theorist Rosabeth Moss Kanter, "position, title, and authority are no longer adequate tools for managers to rely on to get their jobs done.Instead, success depends increasingly on tapping into sources of good ideas, on figuring out whose collaboration is needed to act on those ideas, and on working with both to produce results. In short, the new managerial work implies very different ways of obtaining and using power." Managers will not "manage". Yesterday's manager knew that the president and owners of the firm gave him or her authority to command and control subordinates. Today most managers realize that reliance on formal authority is increasingly a thing of the past. Peter Drucker says that managers have to learn to manage ip situations where they do not have command authority, where " you are neither controlled nor controlling".Yesterday's manager thinks of himself or herself as a "manager" or "boss"; the new manager increasingly thinks of himself or herself as a "sponsor", "team leader", or "internal consultant". Managers today must build commitment Building adaptive, customer-responsive organizations means that eliciting employee’s commitment and self-control is more important than it has ever been. GE's Jack Welch put it this way: The only way I see to get more productivity is by getting people involved and excited about their jobs. You can't afford to have anyone walk through a gate of a factory or into an office who is not giving 120%".翻译:人力资源管理的战略作用泰森,S1. 人力资源管理工作什么是人力资源管理了解人力资源管理,首先要审查管理人员。
