personnel management

personnel management

A Dictionary of Sociology | 1998 | | Copyright

personnel management Within organizations that employ people, this is the function with policy responsibility for the selection and recruitment of staff, training, performance assessment, career development, disciplinary proceedings, pre-retirement advisory work, equal opportunities policies, pay bargaining, and industrial relations. In small organizations these functions may be combined with other management responsibilities; in large organizations a substantial separate department may be involved in setting policy, its implementation, and in keeping up to date with developments in labour law. In recent years the newer alternative term ‘human resource management’ has come into use, reflecting the increased importance of this function in labour-intensive service-sector industries.
