IMPACT OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
This assignment will try to evaluate the various links between human resource management and the performance of the firm. It is one of the important topics which are discussed whenever human resource management is talked about. Many national and international level surveys have been done and on the basis of the surveys it is quite evident that these practises have a really high economical and statistical impact on the employee outcomes.
The development of HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT is directly linked with the betterment and execution of the organization’s strategic plans. The entire assignment is conceptual and with the help of various sources justifies that human resource management and its practises works in the favour of the organization and aides in maintaining competitive advantage over the others.
The impact of a single individual’s work and his/ her performance on the organization has been for long talked about by the analysts and other academicians. Recently, the impact of all the employees collectively on the organization is also taken as something important and crucial in today’s era. If (Barney, 1991) theory is observed closely then it can be said that if four requirements are met then Human Resource Management can provide an emphatic and sustained advantage for the company over other competitors. These four basic requirements will be talked about in the main section of the assignment.
Various works have identified the role of Human resource management in increasing the company’s profitability and one of the works by (Wright, McMahan, 1992) showcase the importance of HRM in the advantages which are firm-specific. HRM is majorly an underutilized resource by various firms and they remain ignorant about its positive impact. Mainer times the employees unknowingly work much below than their potential and the organizations donor have accurate plans to motivate these employees and get the most out of them and for such tasks HRM has the best solution. Some of these solutions include praising the works of the employees and linking these good works with an incentive in the salary and internal promotions which are on the basis of work merit of the employees and many other tasks can be done which help in bringing the aims of the individual and the share holders on the same line of interest.
The things which will be discussed in detail in this section are:-
a.)Turnover
b.)Productivity
c.)Financial performance (corporate)
a.)If studies by (Arnold, Feldman, 1982) are evaluated then it can be easily said that various things like job security, established union, good levels of compensation, organizational tenure, smaller but crucial factors like age, education and gender, a job meeting the expectations of the employee and various other factors lead to a change in the company’s turnover. Thus, it can be said the effect of HRM lies mainly on these individual factors with regard to the turnovers. Some of the factors like job interventions enrichment and previews of realistic jobs are also to some extent responsible for reducing the turnovers.
b.)The effect of HRM and its several practises on the productivity is more intensive on the productivity of the organization. as per ( Cutcher, 1991), the organizations which practised transformational relations with the labours which promoted cooperation and resolutions of the dispute were the once which had to face lower costs, ewer scrap and very high productise and also had greater return from the labour hours than the organizations practising the same traditional labour management practises and policies. (Weber, 1985) explained in his report that organizations with modern labour relation policies fewer disciplinary actions and less absenteeism had a direct impact on their productivity and the efficiency of the labours. Quality living of the labours, good circles and the labour management teams increases productivity. Even the employee turnovers have a positive effect on the productivity of the firm. In various studies links between incentive systems for compensation and organizations productivity can be found easily (Kruse, 1990).
c.)Links between HRM practise and corporate financial performances have been for long explored y various academicians and researchers. Some of these studies include (Cascio, 1991) and (Flamholtz, 1985) have researched and argued on the effect of financial returns which are gained due to the execution of various HRM practises by the firms and these are substantially large in amount. If more factual information is looked at then it can be said that an increase of one standard deviation in the employee’s performance is somewhat equal to 40% salary of each employee.
Yes it is true that most of the word on this particular phenomenon has been conducted in the labs but then a report by (Becker, 1992) clearly showcases that SD deviation may pretty easily be more than 40 % salary per employee. A lot of studies showcase the positive and significant impact of intensive recruitment, use of selection procedures which are formal and various profits of the firm between the HRM training practises and the financial performances of the organization (States, 1997).
It is peculiar to note that all the benefits of these high performance human resource management practises seem to be beneficial for the firms but then these benefits are temporary. It is said so because as more and more companies will start following this practises and the companies which are right now ignorant about these practise at a point of time will become aware and take steps accordingly. At that point of time, the benefits from these practises will soon move towards equilibrium and the effect will get nullified sooner or later.
Secondly these surveys and studies have been mostly done in labs and ideal conditions so the benefit which the companies will be able to acquire would be dependent a lot on the individual experiences and talent of the managers and shareholders of various companies and imitating them as a textbook trick will not be easy and one would have to be more and more creative as use of Harm becomes a common practise.
