Prof. Sweta Saurabh
HRM analyses the employment relationship and the way people are managed in
the workplace. It explores these issues not only in the context of the individual
employee and their employer, but in the context of the wider workplace, the
labour market and economic forces shaping the world of work, technological
changes, employment regulations and social trends. The world of work is fast
changing so an understanding of how this all affects the way people are
managed in the workplace is of tremendous significance theoretically and
practically.
The course examines central issues pertinent to the theory and practice of
Human Resource and Total Quality Management. It introduces students to a
range of theoretical perspectives, which underpin the ways in which
organizations manage the employment relationship through the deployment of
HRM strategy and policy. The course also talks about the aspects of TQM which if
adopted by the personnel’s would widen their vision and skills in leadership,
management, interpersonal communication, problem solving and creative
cooperation for successful implementation of HR strategies.
The overall purpose is to introduce the learners to a wide range of business and
management concepts and to provide them with opportunities to apply their
newly acquired knowledge and reflect on it.
A. Knowledge

B. Skills
The overall objective of this course is to develop in the learners the following set
of skills: general cognitive intellectual skills; general
communicative/employability skills; and subject specific skills.
Cognitive
Cognitive skills are mental capabilities, such as perception and reasoning, which
are necessary to process information and acquire knowledge. Requisite or
minimum qualifications for most jobs include functional expertise or job
knowledge, core competencies and professional attributes. However, the very
nature of work, both strategic and functional, requires that professionals have
certain cognitive skills that enable the performance of their job duties. And
through the study of HRM students who are the future professionals can develop
and enhance their cognitive skills.
Employability
Subject Specific
Subject Specific skills gained from studying HRTQM include: Problem solving:
being able to assess all aspects of a problem or situation and evaluating the
possible ways of resolving it; Advanced analytical thinking: being able to
critically examine information before accepting it; Intellectual confidence and
independence: being able to make judgment in order to deal with complex
issues; to understand Synergistic Relationships; and to thrive for Continuous
Improvement and Self-Evaluation.
C. Outcomes
Two key skills will be highlighted by this course (a) problem solving and (b)
independent research. These skills will be central to success in completing this
course(s) scheme of assessment.
Evaluation:

The Research Methodology part includes the Type of the study, Population of
the study, the Sample of the Study, Types of data, Tools used for data
collection, and tools applied for data analysis.
The results section of the research paper is where you report the findings of
your study based upon the information gathered as a result of the
methodology [or methodologies] you applied. The results section should
simply state the findings, without bias or interpretation, and arranged in a
logical sequence.
7) Conclusion
The conclusion is intended to help the reader understand why your research
should matter to them after they have finished reading the paper. A
conclusion is not merely a summary of your points or a re-statement of your
research problem but a synthesis of key points.
