Among the theories presented in this topic, choose three that you like the most. What in
those theories particularly you like most? Explain.

 Max Weber-Theory of Bureaucracy in which he instituted the belief that an organization

must have a defined hierarchical structure and clear rules, regulations, and lines of
authority, which govern it. I like how he explains that in an organization, It needs to
implement policies which will serve as a guide for the employees to do their job.

 Frederick W. Taylor- Scientific Management in which he proposed that by optimizing

and simplifying jobs, productivity would increase. I like his idea for it talks about the idea
that workers and managers needed to cooperate with one another in order to attain a
productive work.

 Mayo’s Theory of Motivation which proposed that employees are not that motivated
by pay and environmental factors. Instead, positive relational factors play a bigger role
in productivity. I like how he envision the fact that employee is more motivated by a
healthy relationship among co workers more than their pay.

Concept Paper
Topic: THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGENT
Introduction:
This module covers the entire concept of the Theoretical Foundations of Human
Resource Management. It’s a method of developing and unleashing human experience through
organizational development, coaching, and development with the aim of improving
performance. The domains pf performance embrace the organization, work method, and
group/ Individual levels. Organization development is the method of consistently implementing
structural amendments for the aim of improving performance, whereas coaching and
developments is the method of consistently developing experience in people for the aim of
improving performance . The 3 vital application areas of HRD embrace human resource
management, career development, and quality improvement. And one of the most crucial
subjects to research in the modern organizational world is human resource development.
Because all forms of Organizations are impacted by this field of research, the word
“ Organization” was utilized. They can be run by the government and be affiliated with
government bodies. They can also be nonprofit or for-profit businesses. The effective operation
of the companies in each situation depends on managing human capital. A lot of different
disciplines, including anthropology, psychology.
The history of HRM Theory began in 1980 when the Harvard School introduced the Harvard
analytic framework. However, certain drastic changes occurred when machines and factory
methods were introduced in the early 1900’s. Since machines were introduced for factories,
employers expected a high output, minimizing labor costs. The process was paving the way for
the industrial revolution. When a machine requires several workers to operate its different
functions, some kind of supervisory and control procedures are necessary for managing the
workers owing to factors like how different duties are assigned among workers , worker
relationships, Communication, and job division. Factory authorities began to draft rules,
regulations, work time, job assignment procedures, and pay structures and they further devised
plans for getting the maximum output of labor through.
Essentially, the purpose of HRM is to maximize the productivity of an organization by optimizing
the effectiveness of its employees. This mandate is unlikely to change in any fundamental way,
despite the ever-increasing pace of change in the business world. Business consultants note that
modern human resource management is guided by several overriding principles. Perhaps the
paramount principle is a simple recognition that human resources are the most important
assets of an organization, a business cannot be successful without effectively managing this
resource. Another important principle, articulated by Michael Armstrong in his book A
handbook of human Resource Management, is that business success is most likely to be
achieved if the personnel policies and procedures of the enterprise are closely linked with, and
make a major contribution to, the achievement of corporate objectives and strategic plans. A
third guiding principle, similar in scope, holds that it is the HR’s responsibility to find, secure,
guide, and develop employees whose talents and desires are compatible with the operating
needs and future goals of the company. Other HRM factors that shape corporate culture
whether by encouraging integration and cooperation across the company, instituting
quantitative performance measurements, or taking some other action are also commonly cited
as key components in business success. HRM, summarized Armstrong, is a strategic approach
to the acquisition, motivation, development and management of the organization’s human
resources. It is devoted to shaping an appropriate corporate culture, and introducing programs
which reflect and support the core values of the enterprise and ensure its success.
Human relations theory : a school of organizational thought which focuses on worker
satisfactions, and a means of influencing employee productivity. Unlike scientism, human
relations theory does not view workers as essentially interchangeable parts. The human
relations Theory of organizations has three main components. First, the theory places an
emphasis on the importance of the individual. A worker is not simply a cog in a machine but an
idiosyncratic individual who responds to his or her environment. Maximizing the productivity of
workers requires taking these individual characteristics into account. Second ,human relations
theory takes into account the informal organizations in the workplace. What is important to a
worker and what influences her productivity level may not be the official organizational chart
but her or his associations with other workers.
It will facilitate my journey within the future as a result of the qualification of staff could be a
issue for decisive the extent of financial gain of the work. However there are different necessary
factors that verify financial gain levels. Human capital will be scarce in some fields, however it’s
tough to manage its supply. Excluding systems theories, different fields like mentioned by
Mclean ought to become a section of human resources analysis. It will be all over that no static
theory are able to make a case for the advanced world of human resources. If a theory is
developed, It ought to be dynamic enough to include the changes which will sure are available
the long run.
