Details

A comprehensive survey of the state of the discipline
Each chapter summarises findings in particular areas of HRM, and summarises the latest research
Contributions are written by leading international HRM academics and researchers

HRM is central to management teaching and research, and has emerged in the last decade as a significant field from its earlier roots in Personnel Management, Industrial Relations, and Industrial Psychology. People Management and High Performance teams have become key functions and goals for manager at all levels in organizations.

The Oxford Handbook brings together leading scholars from around the world - and from a range of disciplines - to provide an authoritative account of current trends and developments. The Handbook is divided into four parts:

* Foundations and Frameworks,

* Core Processes and Functions,

* Patterns and Dynamics,

* Measurement and Outcomes.

Overall it will provide an essential resource for anybody who wants to get to grips with current thinking, research, and development on HRM.

Readership: Academics, reserachers, and graduate students of HRM, Industrial Relations, and the Sociology of Work and Employment; HRM and Personnel professionals and those studying for professional HRM qualifications (e.g. CIPD).
