Paper Description
This paper studies the management of the organizations' most valuable resource, their people. It uses the latest research and case studies to examine how employees are acquired, trained, managed, motivated and rewarded to improve individual and organisational performance, within ever-changing economic and social contexts. Together, we will explore the human dimension of HRM studies, including strategic management systems that value employees as key contributors to organizational success.
For some students, the focus needs to shift away from regurgitation of the text to knowing core information, identifying which parts are useful in specific situations, and how to apply appropriate HRM practices.
Paper Structure
This paper involves a 1-hour pre-recorded online lecture and a 2-hour tutorial (available both on-campus and online) per week.
The paper content will be a blend of practice and scholarly research in the area of human resource management. The pre-recorded online lectures will be based on basic and advanced concepts of HRM along with real-world examples. Tutorials are supplemented with learning exercises (e.g., discussions, reflections, short scenario, case studies, problem-solving, etc.) that have well-defined objectives.
Students will complete five assessment in total including participation marks (5%), four online tests (20%, each online test accounts for 5%), HR in the News assignment (20%), group assignment (30%, including report and presentation), and final test (25%).
IMPORTANT: This paper is offered in FLEXI mode, which means that learning is available both face-to-face (on-campus) and/or online. For those taking paper online, please note that there are some elements (e.g., online tutorial via Zoom and a final test) that require students to be online at specified times.
