Řízení lidských zdrojů - Moderní pojetí a postupy – Armstrong Michael (2015)

The thirteenth edition presents a modern approach to and procedures in human resource management. Compared with the tenth edition, which many Czech readers know well, it has been substantially revised and updated. Michael Armstrong, a world-renowned authority on human resource management, has prepared the book with Stephen Taylor to show how human resource management can contribute to the success of different organisations, from manufacturing companies and commercial enterprises to public institutions. Drawing on the results of numerous research projects, the authors demonstrate the effects of various human-resource strategies, policies and practices on individuals, teams and organisations through a range of case studies from many important and successful organisations. The book covers the subject comprehensively, addressing all the activities of HR professionals and managers, from organisational creation and development, employee motivation, commitment and engagement, securing human resources, employee education and development, performance management and remuneration, employee relations, employee wellbeing, occupational safety and health, international human resource management, human resource information systems and employment legislation to HR skills and management tools. It explains why and how human resources should be managed strategically so that HR management supports an organisation’s strategic objectives and meets the needs of its stakeholders. Combining the features of a professional reference book, practical guide and study text, it is intended for academics, practitioners, university students and others involved in human resource management. The Czech edition is translated by Martin Šikýř, author of several publications on human resource management and a student of the long-time translator of this book, Josef Koubek. The contents are in Czech.
