Human Resource Management, Fifteenth Edition

Abstract

Human Resource Management, 15th edition, provides students in human resource management courses and practicing managers with a full and practical introduction to modern human resource management concepts and techniques in a highly readable form. With employers increasingly shifting HR tasks to managers and employees, I feel even more strongly than I did when I wrote the first edition that all managers—not just HR managers—need a strong foundation in human resource management concepts and techniques to do their jobs. You will therefore find an emphasis here on practical material you need to perform your dayto-day management responsibilities, even if you never spend one day as a human resource manager.
