Business organizations in India have now realized the importance of human resource management. It is because of the increasing complexity of the task of managers and administrators. In most organizations the problem of getting the competent and suitable persons, retaining them, keeping up their motivation and morale, and helping them to grow and contribute their best to the organization are now viewed as the most critical problem. So the human resource management has emerged as a distinct leading profession. There is phenomenal need in the updated knowledge about human resource management. In this view this book has been prepared on the basis of the syllabi of various Indian Universities. The book endeavours to present all relevant information in 36 chapters authored by leading professors of different universities and colleges. The language is simple. This book emphasizes the principles of human resource management followed by case studies of Indian as well as foreign perspectives. Though primarily meant to be a text book in human resource management, the book promises to be of interest to management practitioners, administrators and executives as well. (jacket)
