This twelfth edition of Human Resource Management like the earlier editions, takes a managerial orientation; that is, HRM is viewed as relevant to managers in every unit, project, or team. Managers constantly face HRM issues, challenges, and decision making. Each manage must be a human resource problem solver and diagnostician who can deftly apply HRM concepts, procedures, models, tools, and techniques. This book pays attention to the application of HRM approaches in real organizational settings and situations. Realism, currentness, understanding, and critical thinking are cornerstones in each edition of this text.
