Personnel Management: Human Resources Research

Abstract

Human resources have long been recognized as the most important asset of any organization. The potential value to be gained from a better understanding of the human processes and an application of this knowledge to the improved utilization of manpower resources within the organizational environment has led to a vast amount of human resources research within recent years. The report addresses aspects of personnel research relating primarily to the study of job factors within the work setting itself, as well as discussing the factors underlying human relationships and with the information technology facilitating these interrelationships within the organization. It offers an integrative, systems approach to manpower management, describing how the research and information subsystem of the manpower management system can significantly contribute to utilization of the human resources employed in attaining organizational objectives.
