Organization- Organization is said to be the framework of many activities taking

place in view of goals available in a concern. An organization can be called as a
physical framework of various interrelated activities. Right from manpower
planning to employees’ maintainance, all activities take place within this
framework. The nature of the organization is dependent upon it’s goal. The business
concern goal being profit- making. Clubs, hospitals, schools,etc. their goal being
service. The objective of consultancy being providing sound advice. Therefore, it is
organizational structure on which the achievement of goals of an enterprise depends
upon. In personnel management, a manager has therefore to understand the
importance of organizational structure.

4. Job- The second element, i.e., jobs tell us the activities to be performed in the
organization. It is said that the goals of an enterprise can be achieved only through
the functional department in it. Therefore, seeing the size of organization today, the
nature of activities are changing. In addition to the three primary departments,
personnel and research department are new additions. Various types of jobs
available are :
. Physical jobs
. Creative jobs
. Proficiency jobs
. Intellectual jobs
. Consultancy jobs
. Technical jobs
5. People- The last and foremost element in personnel management is people. In a
organizational structure, where the main aim is to achieve the goals, the presence of
manpower becomes vital. Therefore, in order to achieve departmental goals,
different kinds of people with different skills are appointed. People form the most
important element because :
. The organizational structure is meaningless without it.
. It helps to achieve the goals of the enterprise.
. It helps in manning the functional areas.
. It helps in achieving the functional departmental goals.
. They make a concern operational.
. They give life to a physical organization.
The different types of people which are generally required in a concern are :
. Physically fit people
. Creative people
. Intellectuals
. Technical people
. Proficient and skilled people
In personnel management, a personnel manager has to understand the relationship of
the three elements and their importance in organization. He has to understand basically
three relationships:-

i. Relationship between organization and job

ii. Relationship between job and people
iii. Relationship between people and organization.
Relationship between organization and job helps making a job effective and significant.
Relationship between job and people makes the job itself important. Relationship
 between people and organization gives due importance to organizational structure and
the role of people in it.

Elements of Personnel
Management
Personnel Management is the administration that handles both the hiring and
compensation of the employees of any organisation based on the employees’
talents and experience. There are three basic elements of personnel
management as listed below:

1. Organisation: An organisation plays an important role in the smooth working of

the desired goal. The aim of an organisation is to bring the people together to
work on a common platform for a specified goal. It is the framework where all
the activities that are supposed to provide profit take place. The establishment
of any organisation depends upon the goal it has to fulfil. 
2. Jobs: It is necessary to appoint specific duties or jobs to the members of an
organisation to efficiently achieve the desired goal. As we know, it is impossible
to achieve the desired goal without an efficient functional department in the
organisation. The jobs in an organisation vary depending upon its size and its
motives. Some of the categories of jobs are creative jobs, physical jobs, technical
jobs, consultancy jobs, intellectual jobs and proficiency jobs. The manager will
appoint the employees to different categories of jobs based on their skills and
experience. 
3. People: People (with different or the same skills as desired by the jobs) are the
most important element of personnel management. The presence of both
mechanical and intellectual manpower is necessary for the smooth running of
an organisation. A good team of well-trained people will be the key to achieving
success. Being creative is the need of the hour; therefore, it is necessary for the
appointed people to be creative and fit (mentally and physically) for the efficient
working of the organisation.
