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 acclaim in the field of American and international management education since its debut in 1978. It has consistently ranked among the top-selling books on the global bestseller list of Prentice Hall, one of the world's largest educational publishers. 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 compared to other similar ones lies in its fundamental philosophy of "People First", innovatively organized 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 HRM concepts and skills. (2) Winning employees' commitment is the cornerstone of successful human resource management, and every 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 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 human resource management in small and medium-sized enterprises. To emphasize the practicality of the book, each chapter is supported by case studies based on real-world examples, and a comprehensive case study is woven throughout the chapters, giving readers a holistic understanding of the entire scope of corporate human resource management. This book is characterized 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 professionals for training and self-study.
