for their job, the entire company can enjoy the benefits of their unbeatable success. Recruitment

A company may have adopted a policy of providing training for all employees as a means of
preparing them for promotion. To implement this policy, it may have developed an extensive

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research methodology simply refers to the practical “how” of any given piece of research.
More specifically, it’s about how a researcher systematically designs a study to ensure valid
and reliable results that address the research aims and objectives.
HRM specialists and those studying for HR professional qualifications may be involved in
conducting or taking part in research projects. Postgraduate students will almost certainly do
so. Qualified HR specialists should keep up to date as part of their continuous professional
development by studying publications such as those produced by the CIPD, which present
academic journals based on research. Students must extend their understanding of HRM

DATA COLLECTION
Before we define collection, it’s essential to ask the question, “What is data?” The abridged
answer is, data is various kinds of information formatted in a particular way. Therefore, data
collection is the process of gathering, measuring, and analysing accurate data from a variety of
relevant sources to find answers to research problems, answer questions, evaluate outcomes,
During data collection, the researchers must identify the data types, the sources of data, and
what methods are being used. We will soon see that there are many different data collection
methods. There is heavy reliance on data collection in research, commercial, and government
fields.
Data is a collection of facts, figures, objects, symbols, and events gathered from different
sources. Organizations collect data to make better decisions. Without data, it would be
difficult for organizations to make appropriate decisions, and so data is collected at various
40
The two methods are:
1. Primary Data
As the name implies, this is original, first-hand data collected by the data researchers. This
process is the initial information gathering step, performed before anyone carries out any
further or related research. Primary data results are highly accurate provided the researcher
2. Secondary Data
Secondary data is second-hand data collected by other parties and already having undergone
statistical analysis. This data is either information that the researcher has tasked other people
to collect or information the researcher has looked up. Simply put, its second-hand information.
Although it’s easier and cheaper to obtain than primary information, secondary information
raises concerns regarding accuracy and authenticity. Quantitative data makes up a majority of
secondary data.

Recruitment and selection are different processes. First is the recruitment that has as its

All organizations, whether large or small, put time and resources into the process of
recruiting and selecting employees for the activities. However, they do not consider the same
criterion.
There are factors that are often not considered by organizations, but directly influence the
process. Administrative recruitment factors can be broadly divided into external and internal
factors.
EXTERNAL FACTORS: -
• Unemployment rate;
• Intern market;
• Company image.

processes.

STEP BY STEP RECRUITMENT PROCESS: -
Recruitment is a process that aims to identify and attract people who are available in the job
qualified candidates to perform a given job. This process includes five phases that are
interrelated.
• Planning;
• Strategy development;
• Demand;
• Selection;
The first phase in the recruitment process is planning. Planning involves reducing job
vacancies and gathering information about the nature of these jobs, outlining two specific
49
STEP 2: QUANTITY OF CANDIDATES
Most organizations plan to attract a large number of candidates, much larger than they will
actually hire. Scheduling the total time that the recruitment process will take place dictates
the required number of candidates to be called so that all vacancies can be filled with
qualified professionals.
The way the company should disclose vacancies is directly related to the type of professional
it seeks to retain, so it is important to evaluate which people want to be informed about job
availability. The type of professional depends on the tasks and responsibilities involved and
the qualifications and experience expected. These details need to be available in the job

competent to fill vacancies available within the organization. Selection is the process of

long and complicated. Many employers use such techniques and pseudo sciences as

Evaluations and voting of pre-selected candidates’ curricula are carried out so that unsuitable
candidates are eliminated. This action is usually followed by a preliminary interview with the
purpose of choosing the best ones. The preliminary interview helps to eliminate people who
do not fit.
51
There are several types of interviews that can be applied in the selection process, among
them:
● STRUCTURED INTERVIEW
With prefixed unified questions. A structured interview (also known as a unified interview or
investigative research. The purpose of this approach is to ensure that each interview is
presented with exactly the same questions in the same order. This ensures that the answers
are reliably aggregated, enabling reliable comparisons between sample subgroups or between
● UNSTRUCTURED INTERVIEW
Performed without structure and planning. In this case the survey questions are not pre-
arranged, allowing spontaneity, making the recruiter need to elaborate the questions,
This is considered to be the opposite of a structured interview that offers a fixed amount of
unified questions.
52
1. PRELIMINARY INTERVIEW: -
Interviews of this type usually last a few minutes to check the value of the candidate. When
companies are very large and need to filter and discard candidates, this is a good way to
eliminate them.
2. BEHAVIOR INTERVIEW: -
Evaluation is based on the solution and approach of the candidates. Behavioural interviews
are based on the premise that a person’s past performance at work is the best dictator of
future performance.
When a company seeks behavioural interviews they want to know how candidates act and
react under certain circumstances. They also want the candidate to give specific “real life”
3. STRESSFUL INTERVIEW: -
It features a series of harsh and quick questions intended to upset the candidate. In this case,
for a psychological evaluation and to measure the reactions and performance of candidates
under pressure and tension, the evaluators submit them to a series of questions.
53
STEP 2: APPLYING SELECTION TESTS
A job interview is a type of job test that involves a conversation between the job seeker and
the representative of the organization. Interviews are one of the most popularly used
Structured interviews are more valid than unstructured, that is, they are more accurate and
help identify the best candidates more easily.
Recruiters are called to evaluate candidates who pass the interview to the tests. Different
types of tests can be administered, depending on job, job and company. Generally, the tests
determine the candidate’s skill, aptitude and personality.
1. ABILITY TEST: -
Skill testing helps determine how an individual can perform work-related tasks effectively.
2. APTITUDE TEST: -
The aptitude test helps determine a person’s potential to learn in a particular area.
3. PERSONALITY TEST: -
54
4. INTEREST TEST:-
The interest test can be used to measure an individual’s preferences for certain activities.
Many employers ask for names, addresses, and contact or reference number for the purpose
of verifying information and perhaps obtaining additional information about an applicant.
The reference serves two purposes:
● The first is to acquire information about the candidate from supervisors and employees who
have had prior experience with the candidate;
After obtaining information through the previous steps, the selection decision, the most
critical of all steps, must be made. The other steps of the selection process were used to
reduce the number of applicants.
The final decision must be made from the group of individuals who have passed the tests,
interviews and benchmarks.
55
STEP 6: PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS
Certain jobs require unusual strength, strength and tolerance of harsh working conditions. In
these cases the applicant has to pass the physical fitness test done by the company doctor or
approved medical officers.
Sound body, height, weight, vision etc. In addition to age, gender, marital status, number of
children, family background, etc.
56
3. TEMPERAMENT AND CHARACTER: -
Emotional, moral and social qualities, honesty, loyalty etc. A high degree of intellectual
competence can serve as a substitute for such qualities as honesty and probity.
It is important to know about one’s character, one’s work habits, and one’s way of reacting
through adverse situations, the strength that drives one’s ability to work.
4. APPLICANT INTEREST: -
Uninterested candidates present a colourless and monotonous job. Interested parties show
how significant and worthwhile the work is, thus developing skills that are perceived along
with the accomplishments.
Even the person who has skill, competence, efficiency, if he has no interest in the job, will be
unhappy

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT OF EMPLOYEES.
"Employee Development" was seen as too evocative of the master-slave relationship between
employer and employee for those who refer to their employees as "partners" or "associates" to
be comfortable with. "Human Resource Development" was rejected by academics, who
objected to the idea that people were "resources" —an idea that they felt to be demeaning to
the individual. Eventually, the CIPD settled upon "Learning and Development", although that
was itself not free from problems, "learning" being an over general and ambiguous name.
Moreover, the field is still widely known by the other names. Training and development
(T&D) encompass three main activities: training, education, and development. Caravan,
Costive, and Hearty, of the Irish Institute of Training and Development, note that these ideas
are often considered to be synonymous. However, to practitioners, they encompass three
separates, although interrelated, activities:
• Training: This activity is both focused upon, and evaluated against, the job that an
individual currently holds.
• Education: This activity focuses upon the jobs that an individual may potentially hold in
the future and is evaluated against those jobs.
• Development: This activity focuses upon the activities that the organization employing the
individual, or that the individual is part of, may partake in the future, and is almost
impossible to evaluate.
The "stakeholders" in training and development are categorized into several classes. The
sponsors of training and development are senior managers. The clients of training and
development are business planners. Line managers are responsible for coaching, resources, and
performance. The participants are those who actually undergo the processes. The facilitators
are Human Resource Management staff. And the providers are specialists in the field. Each of
these groups has its own agenda and motivations, which sometimes conflict with the agendas
58
and motivations of the others. The conflicts are the best part of career consequences are those
that take place between employees and their bosses. The number one reason people leave their
jobs is conflict with their bosses. And yet, as author, workplace relationship authority, and
executive coach, Dr. John Hoover points out, "Tempting as it is, nobody ever enhanced his or
her career by making 18 the boss look stupid." Training an employee to get along well with
authority and with people who entertain diverse points of view is one of the best guarantees of long-
term success. Talent, knowledge, and skill alone won't compensate for a sour relationship with

An employee performance appraisal can act as motivation for an employee to improve his
productivity. When an employee sees his goals clearly defined, his performance challenges
identified and career development solutions in place to help advance his career, the effect is to
motivate the employee to achieve those goals.
Clarity
Employees perform their job duties to the best of their abilities throughout the year based on
guidance from management. Part of a performance appraisal is when a manager and employee
review the job description and compare the employee's performance with expectations. This
gives the employee a feeling of clarity and understanding that will help him better perform his
duties.
59
Take Responsibility
To prepare for the annual review, a manager should keep notes of all of the employee's
accomplishments and challenges throughout the year. When these are presented to the
employee during the appraisal, it gives the employee the opportunity to benefit from her
accomplishments and accept responsibility for the performance challenges. By claiming
ownership of performance issues, the employee makes the process of career development a
more personal commitment.
Teamwork
During a performance appraisal, a manager needs to take time to show the employee how his
performance affects the productivity of the entire organization. When employees understand
how their performance affects the ability of others to do their jobs, it helps put his own job
duties into an overall company context. It helps improve the notion of teamwork among the
60
PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL AND DEVELOPMENT
While the term performance appraisal has meaning for most small business owners, it might
be helpful to consider the goals of an appraisal system.
3. To identify what is required to perform a job (goals and responsibilities of the job)
All of these goals can be more easily realized if the employer makes an effort to establish the
performance appraisal process as a dialogue in which the ultimate purpose is the betterment of
all parties. To create and maintain this framework, employers need to inform workers of their
value, praise them for their accomplishments, establish a track record of fair and honest
feedback, be consistent in their treatment of all employees, and canvass workers for their own
insights into the company's processes and operations. A small business with few employees or
one that is just starting to appraise its staff
61
may choose to use a prepackaged appraisal system, consisting of either printed forms or
software. Software packages can be customized either by using a firm's existing appraisal
methods or by selecting elements from a list of attributes that describe a successful employee's
work habits such as effective communication, timeliness, and ability to perform work
requested. Eventually, however, many companies choose to develop their own appraisal form
and system in order to accurately reflect an employee's performance in light of the business's
own unique goals and culture. In developing an appraisal system for a small business, an
entrepreneur needs to consider the following:
1. Size of staff
4. Measuring performance/work

LITERATURE REVIEW
REVIEW OF BOOKS:
HR from the Outside In: Six Competencies for the Future of Human Resources.
By Dave Ulrich, Jon Younger, Wayne Brockbank and Mike Ulrich New York: McGraw Hill,
2012
As the research, teaching and practice of HRM continues to respond to and be shaped by
contemporary business advances, Ulrich, Younger, Brockbank and Ulrich propose that a
competency approach provides a ‘leading logic for diagnosing, framing and improving’ the
resulting HR challenges (p. 30). Commencing in 1987, ‘HR from the Outside In’ is the result
of the sixth round of the authors’ Human Resource Competency Study; a global survey of HR
Professionals, Line Managers, Academics and Consultants. Though the authors note many
previous contributions to competency research, they believe this study’s unique 360° view will
enable HR professionals to significantly increase their levels of competence and contribution.
The authors’ ability to distil complex findings through years of experience and translate
compelling evidence into practical guidelines, usable tools and common-sense advice is what
makes this book both relevant and impactful.
Six core competencies have been identified; Strategic Positioner, Credible Activist, Change
Champion, HR Innovator and Integrator, Capability Builder and Technology Proponent. Some
competencies have carried through directly from previous models and others have evolved or
been reshaped. The central message however, as reflected in the book’s title, is that all six are
now strongly underpinned by an ‘Outside-In’ ethos. HRM has moved through three waves
from ‘Administrative Excellence’ to ‘Innovative and Integrated Practice’ to the more
contemporary view of ‘Strategic HRM’ whereby direct contribution to organizational
performance is achieved through developing business acumen, enabling business strategy and
aligning HRM activities with the resulting strategic choices (p.19). Today, the authors argue,
HRM must move through a fourth wave - strengthening strategic contribution through more
direct and active engagement with external elements; customers, investors, communities and
other stakeholders. As the book progresses through an exploration of each competency, it
provides ideas as to how this ‘outside’ might be brought ‘in’. How these ideas are interpreted
63
will likely depend on the perspective and experience of the reader; some appear very valuable,
some quite manageable, some hugely aspirational, some questionable. But all are interesting
and thought-provoking. The body of the book devotes a chapter to each competency following
a clear and very readable formula. Firstly, a story or two demonstrating the competency at
work in an organization is shared, secondly, the factors behind each competency and their
impact on individual effectiveness and business performance are explained in full, and finally,
some practical tools to initiate and develop ability in the competency are recommended.
Common among all chapters is the spectrum of potential activities in which HRM may engage.
These activities range from the simple, resource-effective and overtly valuable through to the
complex, time-consuming, expensive and potentially distracting. As they are now summarized,
the reader can consider: How much might be too much?
No longer is it sufficient to initiate, steer and engage in strategic discussion, HRM should be
proactively positioning the organization to win by; interpreting the global context, decoding
the customer experience and co-crafting the strategic agenda. This can be achieved through
simple efforts such as ensuring financial reports, customer performance data and board
meeting presentations are distributed across the team, HR Business Partners master and share
‘the logic’ of their division, and HR is represented on cross-functional teams.
Having evolved from Personal Credibility to Activism, the view is that HR professionals need
to take greater personal initiative across the organization. HRM must earn trust through
business results, display integrity as a role model for the organization’s values, be more self-
aware regarding skills, approaches and feedback, and strengthen the HR profession.
Furthermore, HR professionals need to be influencers and relate to others by understanding,
anticipating and planning for stakeholder interests
