Features: Human Resource Management, written by renowned management professor Gary Dessler at the University of Florida, has been a subject of attention and acclaim in 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 Professor Dessler's latest and most significantly revised version. The greatest distinction of this textbook from other similar ones lies in its fundamental philosophy of "people above all," innovatively exploring the following two themes throughout the book: (1) Human resource management is the responsibility of every manager, not just the HR department. All managers need a solid foundation in HR concepts and skills. (2) Winning employees' commitment is the cornerstone of successful human resource management, and every HR practice in the company contributes to fostering employee commitment. The main content of this book includes: employee recruitment and placement; training and development; compensation and benefits; 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 globalization of HRM, and HRM in small and medium-sized enterprises. To emphasize the practicality of the book, each chapter is accompanied by relevant case studies based on real-world examples, and a comprehensive case study runs throughout the chapters, giving readers a holistic understanding 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 candidates, and business managers for training and self-study.
