Features: Human Resource Management, written by Gary Dessler, a renowned professor of management at the University of Florida, has been a subject of attention and praise in the field of American and international management education since its debut in 1978. It consistently ranks among the top-selling books on the global bestseller list of Prentice Hall, the world's largest educational publishing company. This Human Resource Management (6th Edition), co-published by China Renmin University Press and Prentice Hall, is the most recent and significantly revised version by Professor Dessler. The greatest difference between this book and other similar textbooks lies in its fundamental philosophy of "people above all," which innovatively revolves around the following two themes: (1) Human resource management is the responsibility of every manager, not just the HR department. All managers need a solid foundation in human resource management concepts and skills. (2) Winning employees' commitment is the cornerstone of successful human resource management, and every aspect of HR practice in the organization contributes to fostering employee commitment. The main content of this book includes: employee recruitment and placement; training and development; compensation; labor relations; employee security and workplace safety. Additionally, the book provides extensive and in-depth discussions on topics such as the application of computers in human resource management, the internationalization of human resource management, and human resource management in small and medium-sized enterprises. To emphasize the practicality of the book, each chapter is supported by relevant case studies based on real-world examples, and a comprehensive case study runs throughout the chapters, giving readers a holistic understanding of the entire field of corporate human resource management. This book is distinguished by its unique and innovative perspectives, rich and detailed information, and relevant and credible examples, making it suitable for students of management disciplines, MBA students, and business management personnel for training and self-study.
