Unit- 2 (Two) HUMAN RESOURCE PLANNING Human Resource Planning Predetermining HR needs in terms of quality & quantity Estimating

timating the size & composition of future workforce Due to the dynamic nature of environment technological change, globalization, change in nature of job, OD, shortage & requirement of critical skills led to importance of HRP HRP is the process of determining an organizations HR needs - Decenzo &Robbins Human Resource Information System HRIS is a device for providing skill inventory information Computer based data system for systematically track most of the information about employee and jobs Collect, analyze, store, retrieve & disseminate information about employees &job Useful for storing employment, training and compensation information on each employee

Contents of HRIS Personal data- name, address, dob, marital status Skill data- qualification, training, special skills, capabalities, language spoken etc Position data- current position, duties, responsibilities, occupational history, jobs held in other organizations, work locations etc. d) Compensation data- current salary, salary history, bonus, overtime payments, deduction from salary, tax information,award received etc. e) Performance data- current & past performance appraisal data a) b) c) Uses of HRIS Human resource inventory development Human resource forecast Human resource development Job analysis To make succession and replacement planning To determine current & probable productivity of employee Establish link between corporate objectives & strategies, corporate planning & HR planning Human Resource Inventory Skill inventory of HR currently employed in the organization It includes names,education, training, salary level, languages spoken, capabalities & specialized skills of all employees From HRP viewpoint, What skills are currently available in the organization Can take advantage of opportunities to expand or alter the organizations strategies Useful in- training need assessment, promotion & transfer To identify current or future threats to organizations ability to perform Staff turnover rate, sickness & absenteeism rate,etc.

HRP Process 1. Assessing current human resources Human resource inventory, HRIS, Job analysis 2. Forecasting HR demand- external environmental forces, organizatinal objectives, business plan, succession plan, workforce factors such as:- work load norms, employee reallocation, seperation, turnover, contingent workforce Management judgement, expert forecasts, statistical analysis may be used to forecast demand 3. Forecasting HR supply Internal sources forecasts: potential additions & losses to HR inventory, External sources forecast- education & training institute, labour market etc 4. Matching demand and supply forecast- shortage & surplus

5. Preparation of action plan Recruitment action plan Development action plan Retention action plan Redeployment action plan Redundancy action plan Promotion & succession action plan

Unit: 3 (Three) JOB ANALYSIS Job analysis: The process of studying and collecting informations relating to the operations and responsibilities of a specific job. The immediate product of this analysis are job description and job specification. It analyze the content & characteristics of the job and requirements/ qualifications needed to perform those jobs. Job description: Job description is an organized, factual statement of the duties and responsibilities of a specific job. It should tell what is to be done, how it is done, and why. It is a standard of function. It defines the authorized content of the job. It contains : job title, location, job summary, duties, machine, tools and equipments, materials used, supervision given or received, working conditions, hazards etc. Job specification A statement of the minimum acceptable human qualities necessary to perform a job properly. It is a standard of personnel and designates the qualities required for acceptable performance. A statement of human qualifications necessary to do the job. Usually contains such items: education, experience, training, judgement, initiative, physical effort, physical skills, communication skills, emotional characteristics, sensory demands such as sight, smell, hearing and many others depends upon the nature of job. Uses of Job analysis HRP- number & types of human resource are determined by the jobs which need to be staffed. Job related information is provided by JA. Recruitment & selection- an understanding of the types of skills needed and the types of job that may open in future helps HR manager to plan recruitment and knowledge about the work to be done and qualifications needed helps to select right person- match the right people with the right job. Training & development- what a given job demands from the incumbents in terms of knowledge & skills? Training & development programmes can be designed depending on the job requirements. Job evaluation- determination of relative worth of each job to determine wage & salary differentials. Relative worth is determined mainly on the basis of job description & specification. Remuneration- remuneration should be based on relative worth of each job. Employee need to be compensated on the grades of the job which they occupy. Otherwise feeling of inequity may arise. Performance appraisal- Job Analysis helps to fix standards for performance in relation to which actual performance is compared and assessed. Safety & health- provides information regarding hazardous conditions, unhealthy environmental factors. So that corrective measures can be taken to minimize and avoid the possibility oh human injury. Personnel information- planning, acquisition, development, utilization and remuneration purpose Job Analysis helps by providing information. Methods of collecting Job information Observation- job analyst carefully observes the job holder at work and records what & how s/he does and how much time is needed for completion of given task.

Interview- job analyst interviews the job holder & supervisor about the job. Generally structured form is used. The analyst must make judgements about the informations to be included and its degree of importance. Questionnaire- job holder fill in the given structured questionnaire, which are then approved by their supervisor. Checklists- similar to questionnaire, but the response-sheet contains fewer subjective judgements and tends to be either yes-or-no variety. It can cover many activities but job holder has to tick only those tasks that are included in their jobs. Technical conference method- a conference of supervisor who possess extensive knowledge about a job are used. Diary method- job holders records in detai their activities each day in a diary. JOB ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES 1. Job focused techniques Functional job analysis (FJA) - used to analyze the nature of jobs in terms of data, people and things. Information collected is categorized under those three associated functions. Management position description questionnaire (MPDQ) designed to analyze managerial position. Job analyst use a checklist containing 197 job factors related to managerial concern & responsibilities. A statistical analysis on job factors will be conducted to find the different job factors relating to the position of individual managers. 2. Job analysis techniques The hay plan- analyse managerial jobs. since executives are engaged in numerous tasks it is difficult to specify their duties and responsibility. Hay plan is based on interview between job analyst & the person in the job. Information gathered using Hay plan relates to four aspects of managerial job: i) objective of the job ii) dimensions to be covered by the job holders in that position iii) nature & scope of the position iv) accountability Purpose : recruitment, selection, placement, job evaluation, management development & organizational analysis. Metods analysis analysis of non managerial job. Studies motion at work. Method analysis is used in organizations that rely heavily on human labour to carry out repetitive and routine tasks accurately & efficiently. Person or behaviour- focused technique. Position analysis questionnaire (PAQ) to find the personal or behavioral requirements for performing a job. PAQ contains 194 items. 194 job items are categorized in 5 job dimensions: i) Job dimension relating to decision making /communication/ social responsibilities ii) Relating to performing skilled activities iii) Relating to physical activities/ environmental conditions iv) Relating to operating vehicles/ equipment v) Job dimension relating to information processing.

All jobs are categorized under above 5 job dimensions. Information is collected through using a position questionnaire. 1. Person or behaviour- focused technique. 2. Physical abilities analysis (PAA) analyse the physical abilities/ strengths required by job holders to perform the jobs. 3. The critical incident technique (CIT)- critical job incidents that represents effective or ineffective performance. This techniques identifies the crical incidents that occured durung last 6 to 12 months. Desirable or undesirable. 4. Guidelines-oriented job analysis (GOZA)- GOZA techniques analses job after completion of following steps: i) Listing the job domains of the incumbents ii) List the important or critical duties typically requiring person to perform in a job iii) Determine how frequently these critical duties are required to be performed & their importance iv) Determine requisite skills/ knowledge v) Determine physical characteristics

vi)

Describe other characteristics

JOB ANALYSIS PROCESS Six steps in doing job analysis- According to Dessler 1. Decide how you will use the information- it helps to determine the types of data and methods to collect. 2. Review relevant background information- such as organization chart, process chart & job description 3. Select representative positions- because there may be too many similar jobs to analyse. Eg. It is usually unnecessary to analyse the jobs of 200 assembly workers when a sample of 10 jobs will do 4. Actually analyse the job- by collecting data on job activities, required employee behavior, working conditions and human traits and abilities needed to perform the job. Use one ore more methods and techniques of Job Analysis. 5. Verify the job analysis information- with job holder & immediate supervisor to confirm that informations is factually correct & complete. 6. Develop a job description and job specificationUnit: 4 (Four) RECRUITMENT Recruitment is the process of searching for and obtaining applications so as to build a pool of job seekers from whom the right people for the right jobs may be selected. The purpose of recruitment is to build a pool of applicants. Recruitment represents the first contact an organization makes with potential employees. It is through recruitment that many individuals will come to know a company and eventually decide whether they wish to work for it. It is an ongoing process because employee leave the firm in search of greener pastures-some retire and some die in the saddle. More importantly, an enterprise grows, diversifies, takes over other units-all necessitating hiring of new employees. In fact, the recruitment function stops only when the company ceases to exist. Theoretically, recruitment process is said to end with the receipt of application. FACTORS AFFECTING RECRUITMENT External factors Supply and demand- If the demand for a particular skill is high relative to the supply, an extraordinary recruiting efforts may be needed. The situation of demand and supply of specific skills affects recruitment. Unemployment rate- If unemployment rate is high, recruitment process becomes simpler because large number of people can be attracted with minimum effort. Labor market- Availability of manpower in a local area, specially for non-managerial, supervisory and middle- management positions and in the country level for executive and professional positions has effect on recruitment. Political-legal- Reservations of jobs for scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, minorities and other ethnic and backward classes, child labor act have effect on recruitment. Sons of soil- Preferences to local or people of their respective state in matters of employment. Image- It is the perception of the job-seekers about the company that matters in attracting qualified prospective employees.

d. e. f.

2. Internal factors: Recruitment policy- Recruiting internally or externally, recruitment of local citizens, policy of temporary and part time workers. b. Human resource planning- A company cannot attract prospective employees in sufficient numbers and with required skills overnight. It takes time. Effective HRP greatly facilitates the recruiting efforts. c. Size of the firm- Bigger the size less problematic. d. Cost- Cost incurred in recruitment process, must operate within budgets, multiple job openings simultaneously may minimize cost. a.

e. Growth & expansion- An organization going on growth and expansion will have more recruiting on hand than the one which finds its fortune declining. RECRUITMENT METHODS 1. Internal methods: v Job posting, employee referral, human resource inventory search q Internal sources a) Present employees- Promotion, transfers, job rotation b) Employee referrals- finders fees, Microsoft, Wipro, Infosys, Texas instrument c) Formers employees- Retired employees may be willing to come back on part time basis, may recommend someone, people who have left the company for some reasons or other are willing to come back and work d) Previous applicants- Although not truly an internal source, can be contacted quickly to fill an unexpected opening. 2. a) b) c) d) e) f) g) h) i) External methods/sources: Advertisement Professional or trade associationsEmployment exchangeUniversity/collegesWalk-ins, write-ins and talk-insConsultantsContractorsCompetitorsE-recruiting-

ALTERNATIVES TO RECRUITMENT Organizations search for alternatives to recruitment because of the cost of recruiting. The alternatives to recruitments are: a) Overtimeb) Employee leasing- Staff outsourcing, paying charges to a leasing company or consulting firm that handles payroll, employee benefits and routine HR functions for the client company. c) Temporary employment

Unit- 5 (Five) SELECTION Selection is the process of choosing among people who apply for work with an organization.Selection process is a series of steps used to decide which recruits should be hired. Steps in selection:Application form evaluation-> selection tests-> selection interview-> reference checks-> physical examination-> hiring decision Selection methods Qualification and experience method, work proficiency method, written test method, interview method, written test and interview method, comprehensive selection method. Selection Tests Intelligence tests Tests of general intellectual abilities. They measures not a single trait but rather a range of abilities such as- reasoning, vocabulary, verbal fluency, numerical abilities, memory etc. b. Aptitude tests It measures whether an individual has the capacity or latent ability to learn a given job if given adequate training. A capacity to learn in the future. To select person who will show a higher degree of success after the training period. Specific capacities or aptitudes are- mechanical, clerical, linguistic, musical, academic etc. a.

c.

Achievement tests Concerned with what one has accomplished. When applicants claim to know something, an achievement test is given to measure how well they know it. Trade tests such as- electricians, typing, dictation, computer operator, machinists etc. It helps to shows the demonstrable relationship and job performance. d. Personality tests It measures personality attributes of candidate such as emotional stability, confirmity, agreeableness, extroversion, smartness etc. e. Interest tests/Vocational tests Most organization realize that a person who is interested in a job or tasks will do much better than who is uninterested. In this test applicants is asked whether s/he likes, dislikes the particular occupation, activities, peoples. Interest in specific profession and occupation is tested. Measures candidates preference in different types of job. f. Situation tests It evaluates the candidates behavior in a particular situation or in a situation which is similar to some aspects of the job to be done in the future. g. Test batteries This test helps to fit candidate with wide array of jobs. This test covers abilities such as- verbal, numerical, intelligence, finger and manual dexterity etc. Selection Interview An interview is a procedure designed to obtain information from a person through oral responses to oral inquiries. A selection procedure designed to predict future job performance on the basis of applicants oral responses to oral inquiries. Managers uses several types of interviews, such as: selection, appraisal and exit interviews Types of selection interviews - Gary Dessler 1. Stuctured or Directive interview: An interview following a set sequence of questions. The questions and acceptable responses are specified in advance and the responses are rated for appropriateness of content. 2. Unstructured or Nondirective interview: An unstructured conversational- style interview in which the interviewer pursues points of interest as they come up in response to questions. Generally no set format to follow. Interview for the same job may or may not get the similar questions. A few questions may be specified in advance. 3. Situational interview: A series of job related questions that focus on how the candidate would behave in a given situation. Asks interviewees to describe how they would react to a hypothetical situation today or tomorrow. 4. Behavioral interview: A series of job related questions that focuses on how the candidate reacted to actual situations in the past. Asks interviewees to describe how they reacted to actual situations in the past. 5. Job related interview: A series of job related questions that focuses on relevant past job related behaviors. Asks job related questions to draw conclusions about what the applicants on the job performance will be based on his or her answers to questions about past experiences. 6. Stress interview: An interview in which the applicant is made uncomfortable by a series of often rude questions. This technique helps identify hypersensitive applicants and those with low or high stress tolerance. 7. semi-structured interview: major questions to be asked are planned in advance and are same for all candidates but other questions vary from candidate to candidate. Interviewer are provided some flexibility. Puzzle questions: Recruiter for technical, finance, and other types of job like to use them to see how candidates think under pressure. E.g. An interviewer at Microsoft asked a tech service applicant this: Mike & Todd have $ 21 between them. Mike has $ 20 more than Todd. How much money has Mike and how much money has Todd? Administering interview:

Personal or Individual interview Panel Interview Serial Interview Mass Interview Telephone Interview Computerized Interview

Reliability and Validity of Tests Reliability- It refers to the degree of consistency of results obtained. If a test possesses high relaiability , a person who is tested a second or third time with the same test under the same condition will obtain approximately the same score. Validity- It refers to the relationship between the test score and performance on the job (accuracy). It is concerned with measuring important characteristics related to job behavior. Types of validity Content validity- such a test can approximate the work to be done on the job.e.g. Typing test Construct validity- is the degree to which a particular trait is related to successful performance on the job. Measurement of psychological quality of applicants such as intelligence (abstract in nature). Usually conducted by industrial psychologist by observig various behavior of the applicant and measuring how these behavior or traits relate to the job. Criterion related validity- the degree to which a particular selection device accurately predicts the important elements of work behavior. Relationship between the test scores and job performance.

i) ii)

iii)

To establish criterion related validity one of two measures can be used Predictive validty- the degree to which test scores determine the future job behavior of the candidate. Present test score is compared with actual performance of the candidate generally after a year. If no clear relationship exists, then the test may have to be revised. (probationary period)- training,transfer, discharge (handle). b) Concurrent validity- it validates tests using current employees as the subjects. The scores from the current employees are immediately analyzed with their previous performance appraisal report. If there is a relationship between test scores and performance, then a valid test has been found. Predictive validity can be used as screening device where as concurrent validity acts on current employees. a) Unit- 7 (Seven) TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT Training refers to the imparting of specific skill, abilities and knowledge to employee ( development of those employees who do not supervise activities of others, operative level) System and practices get outdated due to new discoveries in technology, including technical, managerial and behavioral aspects. In this context training enhances the knowledge, skills and attitudes of employees to increase efficiency and effectiveness on the prsent job as well as expected future job. The objective of training is to achieve a change in the behavior of those trained. It is expected that employees apply their newly acquired knowledge & skill on the job in such a way as to aid in the achievement of organizational goal. Need of training Training directly contributes to the development of human resources. It is the most widely used HRD mechanism in the world for the development of human resources. It plays a great role in determining the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization.

Improved performance Fill manpower needs Prevent obsolescence Aid in solving operational problems Attitude formation Improve health and safety Benefit to employees themselves

Determining training needs Training need is a gap between the existing capabilities of an employee and the requirement of the job. Job requirement employee capability = training needs

Methods of determining training needs 1. Management audit method Environmental assessment- environmental (political-legal, economic, socio-cultural, technological) changes are identified to determine training needs. Objectives, strategies and structure change- training needs are identified to manage such changes. 2. Task analysis method Collection and analysis of task related information- performance standards for each task are set- details are found about how tasks are done- training needs are identified for effective task performance. Job description, job specification, job performance standard 3. Performance analysis method Organizational performance method- specifies desired performance standard. Overall performance such as- goal achievement, production performance, quality control, sales performance,cost, absenteeism, labour turnover,accident rates etc. It determines the overall training needs. ii. Employee performance analysis- identifies actual performance on the current job. Performance deficiencies and problem faced by the employees are identified to determine training needs throughemployees performance appraisal reviews, career planning discussion, exit interview, performance test etc. i. 4. Supervisory recommendation method In this method supervisor identify gap in knowledge and skills and recommend needed training for the employees. 5. Training need survey methodIn this method direct questioning is used to gather opinion about training needs through individual survey (each employee), group survey (group of present employees, former employees and supervisors). The result of survey becomes training needs. Competency survey- experts are asked to give opinion on desired competencies to perform the job effectively. This desired competencies determines training needs.

TRAINING PROCESS 1. Organizational objectives and strategies- what business are we in? At what level of quality do we wish to provide this product or service? Where do we want to be in the future? 2. Assessment of training needsJob requirement employee capability = training needs 3. Establishment of training goals- clear behavioral standard of expected results are necessary so that training programme can be effectively designed and results can be evaluated. It should be SMART. 4. Designing training programme- every training programme must address certain vital issuesi) who are the participants or trainees ii) who are the trainers iii) what methods and techniques are to be used for training

iv) what should be the level of training v) what learning principles are needed vi) where is the programme conducted (vi) how far the program has been useful must be judged to get feedback. 5. Implementation of training programme- once the training programme has been designed, it needs to be implemented. Programme implementation involves: i) deciding the location and organizing training and other facilities ii) scheduling the training programmes iii) conducting the programme iv) monitoring the progress of trainees. 6. Evaluation of the programme- since huge sum of money and time are spent on training programme, how far the program has been useful must be judged to get feed back. Types of training Apprenticeship training- learning by doing under the guidance of experienced worker- craft & technical areas- mechanics, jewellers, carpenters.. Job instruction training (JIT)- specially useful for preparing supervisors to train operatives. Also known as training through step-by-step learning steps: i) Preparation- providing informations about job, duties and responsibilities to the trainees. ii) Presentation- providing essential information in a clear manner by positioning the trainees at work site, telling & showing them each step of the job, stressing why and how each step is carried as it is shown. iii) Practise- having the trainee try out the job to show that s/he has understood the instructions, if there are any errors they are corrected. iv) Follow-up- encouraging the questions and allowing the trainee to work alone. Trainer follow up regularly. It provides immediate feedback, quick correction of error and provision of extra practise if required. It is based on the principle, if the learner has not learned, the teacher has not taught. Internship training- trainee is trained on the job by immediate superior. Working as a assistant to type of position. Student of technical and professional subjects are sent to organizations to get practical experience of theoretical knowledge they have learnt in colleges. Trainee work as an employee for specific period. Off-the-job training LecturesSeminars- small group meeting conducted according to an organizational plan. Generally trainees sit facing one another around a conference table where instructor introduce the topics and invites views from the participants on problem areas related to the topics. Participants are expected to make some views and ask questions. Learn not only from the instructor but also from each other. Role playing- trainees are assigned parts to play infront of the class. The role players are provided either with written or oral descriptions of a situation and the role they are to play. It provides an opprtunity for trainees to actually put in to practise the knowledge they have observed from text book, lectures and discussions. Simulation- a techniques that duplicates as nearly as possible the actual conditions encountered on the job. It is abstraction of real working conditions in the lab or class room. Trainees are placed in such an artificial environment which looks alike the real working place & condition. Case study- from the written description of the actual business situation the trainees determine problems, analyze causes, develop alternative solutions and select the best alternatives as accurately as possible and implement it as manager faces and tackles. Provides opportunity to expose their analytical and judgemental abilities. Evaluating training programme The main objective of evaluating the training programme is: to determine if they are accomplishing specific training objectives, that is correcting performance deficiencies. To ensure that any changes in trainees capability is due to training programme and not due to any other condition.

To determine their cost effectiveness. Finally, credibility of training is greatlt enhanced when it is proved that the organization has benefitted tangibly from it. Criteria for evaluation Criteria used for evaluating training effectiveness: 1. Reaction criteria- reaction measures reveal trainees opinions regarding the training programme. 2. Learning criteria- learning measures assess the degree to which trainees have mastered the concepts, knowledge and skills of training. 3. Behavior change criteria- behavior indicates the performance of learners. Changes in job behavior. 4. Organizational results- examine the impact of training on the work group or the entire company. Process of training evaluation Steps: i. Setting intended standards ii. Measuring actual outcomes iii. Finding deviation iv. Corrective action Methods for evaluating training progarmmes 1. Observation method Observation method is done by closely observed during the training programme. Performance in practical work situation, participation in discussion, role play, timing , presentation method. The errors are carefully observed and recorded. 2. Test-retest method In this method participants are given a test to establish their level of knowledge before they enter the training programme. After the completion of training, they retake the test. The change in test scores indicate the change in the level of knowledge resulting from training. Pre-post performance method The actual job of each participants is evaluated and rated prior to training. After the training the participants job performance is reevaluated. Changes in job performance is attributed to training. Experimental control group method Two groups are formed. One group is control group whose members work without undergoing training. Another group is experimental group whose member undergo training. Two groups are evaluated at the end of the training. If the performance of the experimental group improves, training is regarded effective. Training surveys Direct questioning to trainees to get reaction, generally after the end of training participants are asked to fill-up form containing- physical facilities, achievement of training objectives, contents, trainer effectiveness, suggestions for improvement etc. Cost effectiveness analysis It assesss total value of training benefits against total cost of training. Training is effective if benefit exceeds costs. MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT All those persons who have authority over others and are responsible for their activities & for the operations of an enterprise are managers. Any activity designed to improve the performance of existing managers to provide for a planned growth of managers to meet future requirements is management development. A systematic process of training & growth by which manegerial personnel gain & apply skill, knowledge, attitudes & insight to manage the works in their organization. Purpose: Increase managerial capabalities Enhance managerial effectiveness Facilitate environmental adaptation

Improve managerial decision making Facilitate managerial succession & career development Aid managerial job satisfaction & retention MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT METHOD On the job Coaching: when manager takes an active role in guiding another manager, it is called coaching. If the coaching is done by someone other than immediate supervisor/manager, it is called mentoring. Coach sets goal, tells what, how, when it is to be done, follow up suggestions & correct errors. The effectiveness of this techniques on the ability of the coach. Understudy assignments: potential managers are assigned to work under experienced manager with a title assistant to. S/he has to learn about the full duties & responsibilities of the position currently held by his superior. Learns the complexities of problem that superior has faced and how to solve them, also learns decision making process. In the absence of superior has to work as acting of superior. Organization ensures that a fully trained persons are available to replace manager during long absence, illness, transfer or promotion. Job rotation transfer or movement of executives from one job to another. The purpose is to provide diverse knowledge or overall knowledge and familiarizing with the different sectionsl job before they are posted as managers in the department. Committee assignments Techniques where juniors are assigned to board or committes by the chief executives. In these committees, real problems are discussed, different views are debated and decisions are taken. The juniors get an opportunity to share in managerial decision making, to learn by watching others and to solve specific organizational problems. Off- the- job development Sensitivity training method to develop or changing behavior through group processess. Small group gather in unstructured learning situation where they discuss & interact with themselves. This discussion is facilated by professional behavioral scientist. Objectives are: Improved understanding of how & why trainees act toward others and how their action affect others. Insight in to why others act the way they do Improved listening skill Insight in to how group operates Increased tolerance & understanding of others Experimentation with new ways of acting toward people & feedback about how these new ways affect people Group experience designed to provide maximum possible opportunity for the individuals to expose their behavior, give & receive feedback, experiment with new behavior & develop awareness of self & of others.- Chris Argyris

Transactional analysis Used to improve interpersonal relations. In TA trainess are taught to analyze their interactions with others in terms of ego state being expressed. Basic assumptions of TA is that every individual personality holds three ego states: the parent, child and adult. The parent state is an ego state of authority & superiority. They are usually dominant, scolding and authoritative and they use frequently such words as should, ought and mustnt. The child contains all the influence that are natural to an infant, that is why they are emotional and acts according to the feeling of moment. So in this ego state person may be obedient or manipulative, charming at one moment and repulsive the next. The adult stage is objective and rational. The adults deals with hear & know reality, listens with an open mind, state opinions, and actively engaged in probability estimating & rational decision making. It has been suggested that one who generally is low in parent, high in adult and high in child is likely to be most effective in dealing with others. 3. Lecture/seminar course 4. Simulation exercise etc.

Unit- 8 (Eight) CAREER PLANING AND DEVELOPMENT A career is a sequence of positions occupied by a person during the course of a lifetime.-Decenzo & Robbins Career is a sequence of separate but related work activities that provides continuity, order and meaning in a persons life.- Edwin Flippo A career is all the jobs that are held during ones working life. A career path is the sequential pattern of jobs that form a career. Career goals are the future positions one strives a part of career. Career planning is the process by which one selects career goals and the path to these goals. The main purpose of career planning is to integrate individuals and organizational growth needs. It helps to develop individuals and groups, provides opportunities and challenges and strengthens work cultures. To increase managerial competence To attract competent person and retain them in the organization To provide suitable promotional opportunities To enable the employees to develop and make them ready to meet the future challenges To increase the utilization of managerial reserves within an organization To correct employee placement To reduce employee dissatisfaction and turnover To improve motivation and morale

PROCESS OF CAREER PLANING: 1. Self-assessment by employees2. Exploring opportunities3. Identification of occupational orientation 4. Identification of high potential occupation5. Setting career goals to meet the career issues6. Setting career plans7. Implementing career plans CAREER DEVELOPMENT Career development consists of personal improvements undertaken by the individual employee, training, development and educational programs provided by the organization and various institutes. The career development is the process of guiding the placement, movement, and growth of employees through assessment, planned training activities and planned job assignment. The most important aspect of career development is that every employee must accept their responsibility for development. Various career development actions prove useful if an employee is committed to career development. The career development actions are: Job performance- Employee must prove that their performance on the job is to the level of standards established, if they wants career development. Exposure- They should expose their skills, knowledge, qualifications, achievements, performance etc. to those who take the decision about the career progress. Resignation- Employee may resign the present job, if they find career opportunities elsewhere are better than those of the present organization. Change the job- Employees who put organizational loyalty above career loyalty may change the job in the same organization if they find that career opportunities in other jobs in the same organization are better than those of present job.

Career guidance- Counseling provides, information, advice and encouragement to switch over to other career or organization, where career opportunities are better. So, there are two types of mobility in career development actions- internal and external mobility. Why Career development program? 1. Growth opportunities 2. Quality of working life 3. Competition for high talent personnel 4. Avoid obsolescence 5. Retention of personnel 6. Improved utilization of personnel

Effective organizational career development techniques include: Challenging initial job Dissemination of career option information Job postings Assessment centers Career development workshops Continuing education and training Periodic job change Sabbaticals For more see: HRM- Decenzo and Robbins Individual career development is a three-step self-assessment process: Identification and organization- Identify and organize your skills, interests, work-related needs, and values. Conversion into general fields and a specific goals- Convert these inventories into general career fields and specific job goals. Testing against realities- Test these possibilities against the realities of the organization or the job market. Unit- 9 (Nine) PERFORMANCE EVALUATION Once the employee has been selected, trained & motivated the next step of MGMT is to find out how effective it has been at hiring and placing. The tools used to ascertain whether an employee has shown her/his best performance on a given job is called performance evaluation. It is the assessment of an individuals performance in a systematic way against such factors as job knowledge, quality & quantity of output, initiative, leadership abilities, dependability, cooperation, judgement etc. The assessment is not only concerned with past performance, it is also concerned with potentials of the employees for future performance. Pupose of performance evaluation The overall objectives of PE is to improve the efficiency of an employee by attempting to mobilize the best possible efforts from individuals employed in it. Such evaluation achieves four objectives includiing the salary reviews; the development & training of individuals; planning job ratation and assistance promotion.Cummings PE plans are designed to meet three needs, one of the organization & the other two of the individuals. i) They provide systematic judgements to back up salary increases, transfers, demotions or terminations. ii) They are means of telling a subordinate how they are doing and suggesting needed changes in their behavior, attitudes, skills or job knowledge. They let them know where they stands with the boss. iii) They are used as a base for coaching and conselling the individual by the superior. Process of performance evaluation The evaluation process consists following steps: 1. Establish performance standards 2. Communicate performance expectations to employees 3. Measure actual performance 4. Compare actual performance with standards 5. Discuss the appraisal with the employees

6.

If necessary, initiate corrective action

Uses of performance evaluation 1. Performance feedback 2. Reward management 3. Training & development decisions 4. Promotion, transfer, separation decisions 5. Validation of selection tests 6. Career & succession planning 7. Supervisory understanding 8. Policy formulation Methods of performance evaluation Relative standards- performance of individuals are compared against other individuals. Major relative standards major are: 1. Individual ranking: supervisor or rater ranks the performance of subordinates in the order of their merit, starting from the best to worst or viceversa. Each individual gets their own rank, two or more person can not get the same rank. 2. Group order ranking- employees are placed, grouped or ranked in to a particular classification by the evaluator according to the selected features such as; analytical ability, cooperativeness, dependability, self expression, judgement, leadership & organizing capacity etc. Such as- for outstanding A, B= very good, C= good, D= fair, E= poor and F= hopeless or distinction, first, second & third division. 3. Paired comparison- appraiser compares each employee with every other employee, one at a time. E.g.- there are 5 employyes named A B C D & E. The performance of A is first compared with B and decision is made about whose performance is better. Then A is compared with C D & E in that order. Same procedure is repeated to other employees. After the completion of comparision, the results can be tabulated and a rank is created from the number of times each person is considered to be superior. Absolute standard 1. Essay appraisal- the appraiser describes the performance, traits, behavior and potentiality of the employee on the job in a essay form. 2. Checklist- a checklist of statements on the traits of the employees and their job is prepared in 2 columns that is yes & no. The supervisor tick these yes & no column according to their performance on given statement and forward the list to HR department where actual evaluation is done by alloting certain point to each yes. 3. Forced choice- developed form of checklist, where two or more statement is provided to raters and raters has to identify which statement is most descriptive of the individuals being evaluated. The actual assessment is done by HR department. The main advantage of this method is that it reduces biasness because rater doesnt know the right answer. 4. Critical incident- this approach focuses on certain critical behavior of an employee that makes all the differences between effective and non effective performance on the job. Supervisor directly observes & records examples of behavior under the categories that indicate effective or ineffective performance frequently through out the year. This procedure can provide a sound basis for feedback to the individual so it is useful for devlopmental purpose. The danger is taht it may give the employees the impression that everything they do will be recorded which may harass them. 5. Graphic rating scale- this system consists of several numerical scales each representing a job related performance criteria such as- dependability, initiative, output, attendence, attitude, cooperation etc. Each scale ranges from excellent to poor. The rater checks the appropriate performance level on each criteria and computes the employees total numerical score. 6. Behaviourally anchored rating scales (BARS) Management by objective

MBO is a process that converts organizational objectives in to individual objectives. Steps of MBO - Goal setting- generally supervisor & subordinates work together to establish goals. Action planning- means are determined to achieve ends.This step includes identifying the activities necessary to accomplish the objectives, establishing the relationship between these activities, estimating time requirement and determining the resources required to complete each task. Self control- subordinate themselves systematically monitor, measure and review their own performance. Periodic review- the actual level of goal attainment is compared with the goals agreed upon. The evaluator explores reasons for goal that were not met and for the goals that were exceeded. Necessary corrective actions are taken. These reviews should take place at least two to three times a year. Factors that can distort appraisals Leniency error- every evaluator has his or her own value system which acts as a standard against which appraisals are made. Some evaluator mark high and others low. Positive leniency error and negative leniency error. If all individuals in an organization are appraised by the same person there will be no problem. Halo error- tendency to rate high or low on all factors due to the impression of high or low rating on some specific factor. Similarity error- when evaluator rate other people in the same way that the evaluators perceive themseves, then they are making similarity error. Low appraiser motivation- what are the consequenses of appraisa? Employee can be rewarde, not rewarded, punished , if evaluator knows, may not give the realistic appraisal. Central tendency- reluctance to make extreme ratings in either direction; the inability to distinguish between and among ratees; a form of range restriction. Central tendency error prone rater rates all employees as average. Inappropriate substitutes for performance- in many jobs it is difficult to get consensus on what is a good job, and it is even more difficult to get agreement on what criteria will determine performance. As a result appraisal is frequently made by using substitutes for performance; criteria that, it is hoped, closely approximate performance and act in its place. Suggestions for improved performance appraisal: i) behaviorally based measures ii) combine relative and absolute standard iii) ongoing feedback iv) multiple raters v) selective rating, trained appraisers, peer evaluations, post appraisal interview, rewards to accurate appraisers. Who should do the appraising? 1. The immidiate supervisor 2. Peer appraisals 3. Rating committees 4. Self ratings 5. Appraised by subordinates 6. 360 degree feedback- ratings are collected all around an employees, from supervisors, subordinates, peers and internal & external customers- a complete survey on individuals Unit- 10 (Ten) COMPENSATION ADMINISTRATION Compensation refers to all forms of financial returns, tangible service, and benefits employees receive as part of an employee relationship. -Milkovich Designing pay structure that will attract, retain and motivate the competent employees and which is perceived as fair by the employees, by considering the paying capacity of the organization is compensation management.

Liberalization policy of developing countries has attracted many foreign direct investment as well as many multinational companies. In these companies people of many countries work together. Due to the competition in the global market- internationally oriented management practices have emerged and been adapted. IHRM is now of growing concern/importance for the companies that are operating or going to operate with the trend of globalization. The HRM issues and problems arising from the internationalization of business, and the human resource strategies, policies and practices which firms pursue in response to the internationalization process.

HR issues in international business: 1. Selection & appointment Recruitment policy Ethnocentric: recruitment from parent country nationals Polycentric: from host countries nationals Geocentric: recruitment regardless of nationality Regiocentric: recruitment made on the basis of regional needs 2. Criteria for selection: some of the most important criteria are- domestic employment record, technical & management expertise, language proficiency, family support, previous international experience & ability to operate independently. 3. Selection system 4. Preparation & training- what sort of special training do overseas candidates need four step approaches Level-1: training focuses on the impact of cultural differences & on raising trainees awareness of such differences & their impact on business outcomes. Level-2: aims at getting participants to understand how attitudes are formed & how they influence behavior Level-3: training provides factual knowledge about the target country, while Level-4: provides skill building in areas like language and adjustment and adaptation skills. Trends in expatriate training- first rather than providing only predeparture cross-cultural training, more firms are providing continuing, in-country cross-cultural training during the early stages of an overseas assignment. Second, employers are using returning managers as resources to cultivate the global mindsets of their home office staff. Third, there is also increased use of software & internet for cross-cultural training. 5. Compensation- cost of living criteria, hardship allowances & others The balance sheet approach- to equalize purchasing power across country. The basic idea is that each expatriate should enjoy the same standard of living s/he would have at home. Incentives

6. Performance evaluation7. Repatriation- this is the problem of returning home after success or failure in the foreign assignment. If an organization fails to foresee the problems of repatriation, it will bring another big problem on the part of expatriates as well as the organization itself. Five factors important in international assignee success & their components: 1. Job knowledge & motivation- managerial ability, organizational ability, imagination, creativity, administrative skills, alertness, responsibility, industriousness, initiative & energy, high motivation, frankness, belief in mission & job, perseverance 2. Relational skills- respects, courtesy & fact, display of respect, kindness, empathy, nonjudgmental, integrity, confidence 3. flexibility/ adaptability- resourcefulness, ability to deal with stress, flexibility, emotional stability, willingness to change, tolerance for ambiguity, adaptability, independence, dependability, political sensitivity, positive self image 4.
