Synopsis This book is a thorough and critical study of human resource management. This text has been made to cover most of the areas related to human resource management. This text gives a simple and lucid exposition of the basic concepts, principles and practices of human resources management and presents the accomplishments of some latest thinking and research in the field of study. This text is primarily designed to serve as standard text for graduate and post-graduate students studying human resource management in management institutes and universities. The present publication would hopefully be a welcome addition to the rather meagre literature in the vital area.
