Fundamentals of Human Resource Management, 4th edition, covers the full range of human resource management topics in a streamlined 14-chapter format. As this fourth edition goes to press, I feel even more strongly than I did when the first edition was published that all managers ?Dnot just human resource managers?Dneed a strong foundation in human resource management concepts and techniques to do their jobs. I therefore wrote Fundamentals for all students of management, not just those who will someday carry the title Human Resource Manager and, in this new edition, added more practical techniques and real company examples. With 14 comprehensive chapters covering all major HRCI (SHRM) topics, and two end-of-book modules, I wrote this book to compete with 16-chapter introductory Human Resource Management textbooks, as well as with books titled Fundamentals of Human Resource Management.
This 4th edition has several distinguishing characteristics. While it again focuses almost entirely on essential personnel management topics like job analysis, testing, compensation, and appraisal, fostering employee engagement is used as an integrating theme throughout the chapters. Employee Engagement Guide for Managers features show how managers use human resource practices to boost employee engagement. Practical skills applications?Dsuch as how to appraise performance, how to establish a simple pay plan, and how to handle grievances?Dare used throughout to provide students with important management skills. Because all managers have personnel-related responsibilities, Fundamentals of Human Resource Management, 4th edition, is, as noted, aimed at all students of management, not just those who will someday carry the title Human Resource Manager. Building Your Management Skills features highlight managerial HR skills. The legal environment of human resource management?Dequal employment, labor relations, and occupational safety?Dis covered fully, with practical chapter-specific implication
