CONCEPT OF MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT BY N.HAJA MINOORDEEN

HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT • Human resources development is a key aspect of enhancing service orientation, improving istrative costeffectiveness and optimising istrative procedures. A "modern state" needs motivated, performanceoriented employees who know and make the best of their own potential for growth.

Concept • The BMBF considers human resources development to be a dynamic task in which all persons must participate step by step. The components prepared to date mark the start of this procedure. • The Steering Group for Human Resources Development plans to successively develop additional instruments for human resources development.

• The programme's approach, via a ministry-wide steering group, requires a high level of acceptance on the part of all staff, but it facilitates tailoring the various components of the human resourcesdevelopment concept flexibly to suit developments and changes within a rapidly evolving ministry istration.

Key functions • Human Resource Management serves these key functions: • Recruitment and Selection • Redundancy • Industrial and Employee Relations • Record keeping of all personal data • Total Rewards: Employee benefits and compensation

• Confidential advice to internal 'customers' in relation to problems at work • Career development • Competency Mapping (Competency mapping is a process an individual uses to identify and describe competencies that are the most critical to success in a work situation or work role.) • Performance Appraisal

Major trends • Demographics – the characteristics of a population/workforce, for example, age, gender or social class. This type of trend may have an effect in relation to pension offerings, insurance packages etc.

• Diversity – the variation within the population/workplace. Changes in society now mean that a larger proportion of organizations are made up of "baby-boomers" or older employees in comparison to thirty years ago. Advocates of "workplace diversity" simply advocate an employee base that is a mirror reflection of the make-up of society insofar as race, gender, sexual orientation, etc.

• Skills and qualifications – as industries move from manual to a more managerial professions so does the need for more highly skilled graduates. If the market is "tight" (i.e. not enough staff for the jobs), employers will have to compete for employees by offering financial rewards, community investment, etc.

Modern concept of human resources • Though human resources have been part of business and organizations since the first days of agriculture, the modern concept of human resources began in reaction to the efficiency focus of Taylorism in the early 1900s. • By 1920, psychologists and employment experts in the United States started the human relations movement, which viewed workers in of their psychology and fit with companies, rather than as interchangeable parts. •

• This movement grew throughout the middle of the 20th century, placing emphasis on how leadership, cohesion, and loyalty played important roles in organizational success. • Although this view was increasingly challenged by more quantitatively rigorous and less "soft" management techniques in the 1960s and beyond, human resources development had gained a permanent role within organizations, agencies and nations, increasingly as not only an academic discipline, but as a central theme in development policy.
