Summary: "This book provides an introduction to the management of people in work organizations or, as it is now most commonly known, human resource management (HRM). It seeks to outline the purpose and operation of HRM activities in the 'real world', whilst situating practice in the context of associated debates and controversies played out in parallel field of academic study. It adopts a critical perspective on the study and practice of HRM to provide the reader with an understanding not only of the potential for HRM to contribute to both improved organisational performance and individual well-being in the workplace, but also why it very often fails to achieve either of these positive outcomes. The intention of this book is, therefore, not to provide a detailed 'how-to' of HRM in practice, rather to introduce the HR practices and issues in contemporary HRM within their wider environmental and organisational context. Each chapter in this book seeks to present a critical review of its subject and to provide both practical and theoretical insight. It is divided into three sections; HRM in context, HRM in practice, Contemporary issues in HRM." -- From Preface
