to Human resource MANAGEMENT”
Human resource management is defined
as a strategic and coherent approach to the management of an organization’s
most valued assets – the people working there who individually and collectively
contribute to the achievement of its objectives (Armstrong,
2006) .
Human resource is the most valuable
and unique asset of an organization. The successful management of an organization's
human resources is a dynamic and challenging task, especially at a time when
the world has become a global village. The inadequacy of talented resources and
the growing expectations of the modern day worker have further increased the difficulty
of the human resource function.
