A. Definisi Sumber Daya Manusia (SDM) dan Manajemen Sumber Daya Manusia (MSDM) a. Sumber Daya Manusia Sumber daya manusia adalah orang-orang yang merancang dan menghasilkan barang dan jasa, mengawasi mutu, memasarkan produk, mengalokasikan sumber daya finansial, serta merumuskan seluruh strategi dan tujuan organisasi. Sumber daya manusia inilah yang membuat sumber daya lainnya dapat berjalan. Tanpa orang-orang yang memiliki keahlian dan kompeten maka mustahil bagi organisasi untuk mencapai tujuannya. Banyaknya keunggulan yang dimiliki organisasi atau perusahaan, tidak dapat memaksimalkan produktivitasnya dan laba usaha tanpa adanya komunitas karyawan yang berkeahlian, kompeten, dan berdedikasi tinggi terhadap organisasi atau perusahaan. b. Manajemen Sumber Daya Manusia Manajemen sumber daya manusia adalah rancangan sistem-sistem formal dalam sebuah organisasi untuk memastikan penggunaan bakat manusia secara efektif dan efisien guna mencapai tujuan-tujuan organisasional. Sehingga di dalamnya ada kegiatan pengelolaan yang meliputi pendayagunaan, pengembangan, penilaian, pemberian balas jasa bagi manusia sebagai individu anggota organisasi atau perusahaan bisnis. Manajemen sumber daya manusia juga menyangkut cara-cara mendesain sistem perencanaan, penyusunan karyawan, pengelolaan karir, evaluasi kinerja, kompensasi karyawan, dan hubungan ketenagakerjaan.

B. Perkembangan Globalisasi SDM Dalam sebuah lingkungan di mana angkatan kerja terus berubah, hukum berubah, dan kebutuhan-kebutuhan dari pemberi kerja juga berubah, manajemen SDM harus terus berubah dan berkembang. Hal ini sangat benar ketika manajemen beroperasi secara global. Ada beberapa pengaruh yang secara bersamaan telah menyebabkan peningkatan perdagangan dunia sebesar 60% dalam dekade terakhir. Berikut ini adalah pembahasan mengenai beberapa pengaruh yang dianggap paling penting. a. Perubahan Populasi Global Di negara-negara industrialisasi dan berkembang di seluruh dunia, seperti Uni Eropa (UE), Jepang, Amerika Serikat, pertumbuhan populasi menurun secara signifikan. Di area-area tersebut, populasi yang semakin tua dan angka kelahiran yang menurun memberikan kontribusi dalam bentuk pertumbuhan yang lebih lambat dalam jumlah pekerja dan konsumen. Bagaimanapun juga, populasi Cina, India, Afrika, Amerika Latin, serta negara-negara dan wilayah-wilayah lain terus tumbuh secara signifikan. Untuk memanfaatkan pertumbuhan ini, perusahaan-perusahaan diseluruh dunia telah mengadakan operasi-operasi, membentuk perusahaan-perusahaan modal ventura, atau bergabung dengan perusahaan-perusahaan di negara-negara ini.

negara-negara lain juga merangsang globalisasi. Sebagai contoh, mobil-mobil Jerman dan Jepang, kosmetika Prancis, makanan cepat saji AS, bir Meksiko, dan peralatan elektronik Korea semuanya tersedia secara global dan diinginkan oleh konsumen-konsumen di banyak negara. b. Ketergantungan Ekonomi Global Ahli-ahli ekonomi memperkirakan bahwa pada tahun 2020 enam perekonomian terbesar adalah AS, Cina, Jepang, Indonesia, India, dan

Korea. Perusahaan-perusahaan yang berbasis di banyak negara merespon peluang-peluang ini. Oleh karena itu, masa depan ekonomi organisasi-organisasi

di

seluruh

dunia

berhubungan

dengan

pertumbuhan perekonomian dunia. Sebuah contoh menganai hubungan adalah kerusuhan, seperti yang terjadi di Indonesia, Turki, Argentina, dan beberapa negara lainnya. Kerusuhan in telah memengaruhi bursa saham di seluruh dunia. Contoh ini mengindikasikan tingkat ketergantungan yang tinggi di antara perekonomian negara-negara individual. c. Aliansi Daerah Perkembangan beberapa aliansi politik dan perdagangan daerah juga memberikan kontribusi terhadap globalisasi. Yaitu North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) dan European Union (EU). d. Komunikasi Global Kontribusi utama globalisasi yang lain adalah pekembangan dan evolusi telekomunikasi dan teknologi yang membantu pengiriman informasi yang cepat. Teknologi satelit telah menghadirkan televisi dan layanan telepon nirkabel ke desa-desa terpencil di afrika, India, Cina, dan Amerika Latin. Pertumbuhan penggunaan internet di seluruh dunia yang terjadi secara tiba-tiba ini berarti bahwa orang-orang dan perusahaan-perusahaan dapat dengan mudah berkomunikasi dan memiliki akses menuju informasi dan dalam dalam jumlah yang sangat besar. Sebagaian besar komunikasi di Internet menggunakan bahasa Inggris. Sebagai bahasa bisnis global, bahasa Inggris memungkinkan arus komunikasi dan informasi yang lebih mudah. e. Jenis-jenis Organisasi Global 1. Impor dan Ekspor Tahap pertama interaksi internasional terdiri atas impor (importing) dan ekspor(exporting). Di sini, sebuah organisasi mulai menjual dan membeli barang dan jasa dengan organisasiorganisasi di negara-negara lain. Sebagian besar hubungan internasional dilakukan oleh staf penjualan dan pemasaran dan

sedikit eksekutif lain yang menegosiasikan perjanjian-perjanjian. Pada umumunya, aktivitas-aktivitas SDM tidak terpengaruh kecuali kebijakan bepergian bagi mereka yang pergi keluar negri. 2. Perusahaan Multinasional Perusahaan multinasional (Multinational enterprise - MNE) adalah sebuah perusahaan di mana sebuah organisasi memiliki unit-unit operasi yang beralokasikan di negara-negara asing. Biasanya, unit-unit ini menyediakan barang dan jasa untuk areaarea geografis yang mengelilingi negara-negara tersebut dimana terdapat

Organisasi Global Organisasi global (global organization) memiliki unit-unit perusahaan di beberapa negara yang digabungkan untuk beroperasi sebagai satu organisasi di seluruh dunia.

internasional harus dipandang secara strategis dalam organisasi ini. Kebijaksanaan dan aktivitas SDM global perlu dikembangkan, tetapi dibutuhkan adanya desentralisasi pembuatan keputusan pada unit dan operasi tambahan di negara lain untuk melakukan penyesuaian terhadap negara tertentu.

C. Dinamika Permasalahan SDM Di tengah meningkatnya kebutuhan SDM dalam organisasiorganisasi dunia maupun negara individual, ternyata, ada beberapa

masalah yang harus dihadapi oleh beberapa negara besar di dunia, tidak terkecuali, Indonesia. Masalah pertama, adanya ketimpangan antara jumlah kesempatan kerja dengan angkatan kerja. Jumlah angkatan kerja nasional pada krisis ekonomi tahun pertama (1998) sekitar 92,73 juta jiwa. Sementara jumlah kesempatan kerja yang ada hanya sekitar 87,67 juta orang dan ada sekitar 5,06 juta orang menjadi penganggur terbuka (open unemployment). Angka ini meningkat terus selama krisis ekonomi yang kini berjumlah sekitar 8 juta. Kedua, tingkat pendidikan angkatan kerja Indonesia relatif masih rendah. Struktur pendidikan angkatan kerja Indonesia masih di dominasi oleh pendidikan dasar, yaitu sekitar 63,2%. Kedua masalah tersebut menunjukkan bahwa ada kelangkaan kesempatan kerja dan rendahnya kualitas angkatan kerja secara nasional di berbagai bidang kehidupan. Di samping itu, rendahnya alokasi APBN untuk sektor pendidikan-tidak lebih dari 12%-pada pemerintahan di era reformasi menunjukkan belum adanya perhatian serius dari pemerintah pusat terhadap perbaikan kualitas SDM. Masalah SDM inilah yang menyebabkan proses pembangunan yang berjalan selama ini kurang didukung oleh produktivitas tenaga kerja yang memadai. Keterpurukan ekonomi nasional yang berkepanjangan akibat dari rendahnya kualitas SDM dalam menghadapi persaingan ekonomi global atau liberalisasi ekonomi.

D. Peran MSDM dalam Era Globalisasi Tanggung Jawab dan Tantangan a. Tanggung Jawab 1. Penyediaan Staf Penyediaan staf (staffing)

merupakan

proses

yang

menjamin suatu organisasi untuk selalu memiliki jumlah karyawan yang tepat dengan keahlian-keahlian yang memadai dalam pekerjaan-pekerjaan yang tepat, pada waktu yang tepat, untuk mencapai tujuan organisasi. Penyediaan staf mencakup analisis pekerjaan, perencanaan SDM, perekrutan dan seleksi. Analisis pekerjaan adalah proses sistematis penentuan berbagai keahlian, kewajiban, dan pengetahuan yang diperlukan untuk menjalankan pekerjaan-pekerjaan dalam suatu organisasi.

Perencanaan SDM adalah proses sistematis untuk mencocokkan pasokan orang-orang internal dan eksternal dengan peluangpeluang pekerjaan yang diperkirakan terjadi sepanjang periode waktu tertentu. Perekrutan adalah proses menarik para individu pada waktu tertentu, dalam jumlah cukup, dan dengan kualifikasikualifikasi yang memadai, untuk melamar pekerjaan-pekerjaan dalam

sebuah

organisasi.

Seleksi

adalah

proses

memilih

sekelompok pelamar individu yang paling sesuai untuk posisi tertentu dalam organisasi. 2. Pengembangan SDM Pengembangan SDM adalah fungsi MSDM utama yang tidak hanya terdiri atas pelatihan dan pengembangan namun juga aktivitas-aktivitas perencanaan dan pengembangan karier individu, pengembangan organisasi, serta manajeman dan penilaian kinerja. Pelatihan dirancang untuk memberi para pembelajar sejumlah pengetahuan dan keahlian yang diperlukan untuk pekerjaan

mereka

saat

ini.

Pengembangan

melibatkan

pembelajaran yang beranjak ke luar pekerjaan saat ini dan memiliki fokus lebih berjangka panjang. Perencaan karier adalah proses berkelanjutan di mana individu menetapkan tujuan-tujuan karier dan mengidentifikasi cara-cara untuk mencapainya. Pengembangan karier adalah pendekatan formal yang digunakan oleh organisasi untuk memastikan bahwa orang-orang dengan kualifikasi-kualifikasi dan pengalaman-pengalaman yang memadai tersedia ketika dibutuhkan. Pengembangan organisasi

adalah

proses

perbaikan

organisasi yang terencana dengan mengembangkan strukturstruktur, sistem-sistem, dan proses-prosesnya untuk memperbaiki efektivitas dan mencapai tujuan yang diinginkan. Manajemen kriteria adalah proses berorientasi tujuan yang diarahkan untuk memastikan telah berjalannya proses-proses organisasi untuk memaksimalkan produktivitas para karyawan, tim, dan akhirnya, organisasi.

Penilaian kinerja adalah suatu sistem formal peninjauan dan evaluasi kinerja tugas individu atau tim. Sistem tersebut memberi peluang kepada para karyawan untuk memanfaatkan kelebihan-kelebihan

mereka

dan

mengatasi

kekurangan-

kekurangan yang teridentifikasi, dan dengan demikian membantu mereka menjadi karyawan yang lebih puas dan produktif. 3. Kompensasi Kompensasi mencakup semua imbalan total yang diberikan kepada para karyawan sebagai timbal balik untuk jasa mereka. Suatu sistem kompensasi yang terencana matang memberi para karyawan imbalan-imbalan yang layak dan adil atas kontribusi mereka dalam mencapai tujuan-tujuan organisasi. Imbalan tersebut dapat berupa salah satu atau kombinasi dari hal-hal berikut ini:  Kompensasi Finansial Langsung: Bayaran yang diterima 

seseorang dalam bentuk upah, gaji, komisi, dan bonus. Kompensasi Finansial Tidak Langsung (Tunjangan): Semua imbalan finansial yang tidak termasuk dalam kompensasi langsung seperti cuti bayar, absen karena sakit,



liburan, dan asuransi pengobatan. Kompensasi Nonfinansial: Kepuasan yang diperoleh seseorang dari pekerjaan itu sendiri atau dari lingkungan

psikologis dan/atau fisik dimana orang tersebut bekerja. 4. Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Keselamatan adalah perlindungan bagi para karyawan dari lukaluka yang disebabkan kecelakaan-kecelakaan yang terkait dengan pekerjaan. Kesehatan adalah bebasnya para karyawan dari sakit secara fisik atau emosi. Aspek-aspek dari pekerjaan tersebut penting karena para karyawan yang bekerja dalam lingkungan yang aman dan menikmati kesehatan yang baik akan cenderung lebih produktif dan memberikan manfaat jangka panjang bagi organisasi. 5. Hubungan Kekaryawanan dan Perburuhan Suatu perusahaan dituntut oleh hukum untuk mengakui serikat pekerja dan berunding dengannya dengan itikad yang baik jika para karyawan perusahaan yang bersangkutan menginginkan serikat pekerja mewakili mereka.

Di masa lalu, hubungan

semacam ini adalah norma yang dapat diterima bagi banyak pemberi kerja, namun sebagian besar perusahaan dewasa ini lebih cenderung memiliki lingkungan yang bebas serikat pekerja. Ketika suatu serikat pekerja mewakili para karyawan perusahaan, aktivitas SDM seringkali disebut sebagai hubungan industrial, yang menangani pekerjaan untuk melakukan perundingan kolektif. b. Tantangan 1. Perhatian Terhadap Lingkungan HRD Manager tidak hanya sekedar memperhatikan lingkungan di departemennya, tetapi menjadi kewajibannya memperhatikan serta membina seluruh departemen yang ada dalam struktur organisasi perusahaan. Bahkan pendekatan terhadap hubungan eksternal atau internal lingkungan sekitar perusahaan sangat diperlukan. Juga peran sosialnya sehingga terjadi keharmonisan dan dukungan lingkungan terhadap keberadaan perusahaan. HRD Manager harus melihat seluruh individu yang ada dalam perusahaan merupakan sumber kekuatan yang harus di pompa semangat kerjanya dengan pendekatan-pendekatan secara profesional melalui pelatihan, pengarahan dan harapan. Dengan demikian karyawan merasakan bahwa dirinya merupakan bagian/aset dari perusahaan. Intinya, HRD Manager harus sadar, bahwa dia adalah representatif dari management/owner, kalaupun ada kelemahan dari sistem dan kebijakan

yang

ada,

HRD

Manager

harus

mampu

mengkomunikasikannya dengan baik kepada karyawan, karena tugas berat itu adalah bagian dari tanggung jawabnya. 2. Pemberian Penghargaan Pemberian penghargaan (reward) biasanya sudah menjadi tradisi yang dilakukan oleh semua perusahaan dalam rangka memberikan pengakuan atas karya setiap individu, selain itu dapat menjadikan semangat karyawan untuk meraih dan berprestasi. HRD Manager harus

sudah

bisa

memberikan

pertimbangan

kepada

manajemen/direksi/owner bentuk penghargaan apa yang dimunculkan dan bagaimana kriterianya. Sebagai alat ukur kriteria dalah statistik kehadiran dan kondite (performance apprasial). Dalam merumuskan

penghargaan tersebut sebaiknya melibatkan semua departemen, sehingga terciptalah bentuk dan kriteria yang ideal untuk diajukan ke pimpinan puncak. 3. Peraturan Perusahaan Sebenarnya persoalan yang dihadapi HRD Manager, tentang hukum ketenagakerjaan lebih banyak pada persoalan implementasinya, yaitu bagaimana agar para karyawan dapat mematuhi aturan yang sudah dibuat. Sedangkan untuk konsep dan penafsirannya sangat jelas dan tertuang dalam Undang-Undang Ketenagakerjaan No. 13 Tahun 2003 serta beberapa Peraturan/Keputusan Menteri Tenaga Kerja. 4. Etika Profesi HRD Manager harus memiliki etika didalam melaksanakan fungsi manajemennya, khususnya dalam pengadaan tenaga kerja, misalnya: apakah yang di rekrut tersebut masih aktif atau masih terkait dalam kontrak pada perusahaan sebelumnya, penelusuran perlu dilakukan, minimal kalaupun harus dilakukan bukan bersifat membajak. 5. Komitmen dalam Asosiasi Pada umunya, karyawan ahli atau spesialis yang terikat kontrak, sebagian kecil berpindah kerja sebelum habis masa kontrak/ikatan dinas dengan mengabaikan konsekuensi isi perjanjian, dan pihak perusahaan tidak bisa berbuat apa-apa. Untuk mengantisipasi hal ini, sebaiknya perlu dibangun suatu prosedur didalam asosasi. Misalnya asosiasi membuat/merumuskan beberapa ketentuan-ketentuan tentang etika penerimaan karyawan. Setelah itu, diminta secara sukarela kepada perusahaan-perusahaan yang tergabung dalam asosiasi untuk meratifikasinya, dan bagi perusahaan yang meratifikasi maka terikat dengan ketentuan-ketentuan etika yang berlaku. Adapun rumusan etika penerimaan karyawan atau etika profesi tersebut perlu mengatur hal-hal yang berkaitan dengan etika itu sendiri, atau bagaimana mengatur pengembalian uang ganti rugi (bilamana ada), apakah dibebankan kepada perusahaan penerima atau dengan cara lain, semua itu perlu perumusan secara komprehensif.

Journal

Abstract (summary) Human resource management (HRM) has become a major component of business schools and is quickly becoming a dominant focus of management research. However, discussions of HRM's history are very limited. HRM's origins and development are traced by examining: 1. the concepts developed by the 2 ignored originators of HRM, Peter F. Drucker (1954) and E. Wight Bakke (1958), and 2. the evolution of HRM's definition.

Human resource management has become a major component of business schools and is quickly becoming a dominant focus of management research (Kaufman 1993; Lewin, 1991; Storey 1992). It has almost universally displaced personnel, and in many schools is threatening to supplant industrial relations and organizational behavior. Of late, articles in British and Canadian journals are beginning to question what human resource management is and what impact its nonnative prescriptions will have on unions, workers, and employment relationships 0.e., Barkin, 1989; Blyton & Turnbull, 1992; Guest, 1987; Godard, 1991; Ichniowski, Delaney, & Lewin, 1989). These articles frequently note -- few attempt to resolve -- the definitional fog that surrounds the term "human resource management" Sadly, efforts at defining human resource management (HRM) are grounded on current descriptions of HRM and do not attempt b resolve the issue by tracing the term's history. There

has been little success in clarifying the definition of HRM, in identifying its boundaries, or in distinguishing it from related disciplines. The histories of these related disciplines have been occasionally discussed (for example, Baron, Dobbin, and Jennings (1986) and Ling (1965) for personnel management, Jacoby (1985) and Wren 1987) for American management theory, and Kaufman (1993) and Adams (1993) for industrial relations), however, the history of human resource management has not. This paper very briefly traces the origins and development of human resource management through a review of books and articles. It begins with a brief exploration of the three original uses of the term "human resource management" or i variants-two of which have been completely ignored--and then follows the development of the main families of definitions of HRM found in the literature. This paper observes that HRM exists in multiple versions, reflecting the disciplinary and ideological orientations of each versions' adherents. The lack of an effort to resolve the definitional opacity surrounding HRM may be responsible for the strong growth of the discipline. Human resource management's lack of specificity and its strong institutional position within business schools, a product of its popularity as a practitioner's philosophy, may allow academics to pursue a wide variety of research interest, while legitimating these pursuits by calling them HRM. COINING HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Drucker and the "Human Resource" The term "human resource" was coined by management gun Peter F. Drucker (1954) in The Practice of Management. In this seminal work, Drucker presents three broad managerial functions: managing the business, managing other managers, and managing workers and work. It is in the discussion of the management of workers and work that Drucker (1954:263) introduces the concept of the worker as "the human resource": "comparable to all other resources but for the fact that it is human" and, as such, having "specific properties" which must be

considered by managers. Drucker argues that the human resource possesses a quality that is not present in other resources: "the ability to coordinate, to integrate, to judge and to imagine." Unlike other resources utilized by managers, the human resource can only utilize itself. "The human being ... has absolute control over whether he works at all" (Drucker, 1954:264). Drucker calls on managers to consider the moral and social needs of human beings in the design of work. He calls on managers to take positive actions to encourage worker motivation, and to create jobs that challenge and develop workers. In the process, Drucker (1954: 273-289) disparages the personnel management discipline of his day, detailing its three basic misconceptions: (1) it assumes people do not want to work; (2) it looks upon the management of work and the worker as a specialist's job rather than a key part of any manager's job; and (3) its tendency to be a "fire fighting" and "trouble-shooting" activity, rather than focusing on the positive and building harmony. However, Drucker (1954:287) expresses a hope for the improvement of the managing of workers. He answers his own rhetorical question "Is personnel management bankrupt?" with a no, choosing rather to see personnel management as temporarily insolvent. According to Drucker, the personnel management of his day was not meeting its promises of effectively managing workers; it had the necessary expertise and was aware of the right approaches; but had yet to apply them. Bakke and "The Human Resources Function" E. Wight Bakke (1958), a sociologist by training and a multidisciplinary industrial relations scholar in his research choices, elaborated a more detailed discussion of the managing of human resources as a function of general management. In a poorly circulated monograph, Bakke (1958) describes an ignored managerial function, the human resources function, which he describes as being as important to business success as accounting, production, financing, marketing and the other managerial functions. According to Bakke, the human resources function subsumes all of personnel administration, industrial and labor relations, human relations, human engineering, executive development and the like.

Bakke (1958) details how the human resource function of management is but a part of the general management function, and then sets out principles for a thoughtful and deliberate approach to this function. He views the general job of management as the effective use of resources (money, materials, market, ideas, nature, and people) to achieve organizational objectives. Bakke argues that poor management of any one of these resources weakens the effectiveness of the whole organization. Thus, he argues that "attention to the human resource is required not because managers are humanitarian, but because they are managers" (1958:198). Bakke (1958:200) lays out seven points that detail why the human resources function goes beyond the work of the personnel or industrial relations manager: (1) The human resource function is not a special function, it must meet the standards that Bakke (1958) sets out for all the other functions of management: "[t]o understand, to maintain, to develop, to employ or utilize effectively, and to integrate these resources into a working whole ... ". (2) The levers of the human resource function are not new gadgets or tools to be afforded when the "really important" functions, such as production and finance, a running smoothly and profitably. Rather, the management of human resources must be done from the startup of any organization. (3) The objective of the human resource function "is not personal happiness but productive work and the maximum opportunity for all the company's people to utilize to the fullest possible extent all the skills they have relevant to making that work more productive." (4) The human resource function includes not only the welfare and compensation activities associated with personnel and labor relations, "but the human resources aspect of every working relationship [italics in original] between people in the company." It should improve the "work process, work associations and work opportunities" of employees so as to reduce the need for rewards which compensate for boredom and hardship.

(5) The human resource function is not solely concerned with employees but with every person "at all levels" of the organization, including the chief executive officer. 6) The human resource function is necessarily performed by every person in the organization who is responsible for supervising others. This includes managers in a unionized environment. In such cases, "line management carries out its basic human resource functions within a framework of expectancies, controls, and other activities of the union." (7) "The focus of concern for all human resources effect must be the simultaneous achievement of the central and essential interests of the company and its people." The interests need not be the same, but they must not be incompatible. Surprisingly, Bakke's detailed discussion seems to have had little implict. Even though it appears in Unions, Management and the Public (1960) (1967), an influential text and book of readings, his human resources function has been completely ignored in academic circles.(1) These two original perspectives on HRM emphasize the management actions that come from viewing all individuals within the enterprise as valuable resources that must be thoughtfully managed. This view appears to have made an initial impact on the business world and academia: the term "human resources" begins appear very occasionally, though it is not described in depth. In 1964, Pigors, Myers and Malm edited a book of readings called Management of Human Resources: Readings in Personnel Administration.(2) This work, partly based on an earlier set of readings by Pigors and Myers (1952) called Readings in Personnel Administration, takes a tone reminiscent of Drucker's (1954). Pigors et al. (1964) strive to emphasize that the management of people is central to management and not a secondary issue. They view "the management of human resources" as being a broader and more inclusive term than personnel administration (Pigors et al., 1964:vii). Miles and the "Human Resource Model"

The next appearance of the term "human resources" to attract serious academic and managerial attention was Raymond E. Miles' (1965) article in Harvard Business Review.(3) Miles' survey research on managerial attitudes showed that most managers preferred using a human relations model of management on their subordinates, but preferred that their superiors apply what Miles termed a human resource model to them. The human relations model, instructs managers to fulfil more than workers economic needs. Managers should view workers as individuals and demonstrate an interest in their welfare and happiness. In short, the worker is made to feel useful and important to the organizations through constant communication and reassurance from his supervisor. On the other hand, Miles' (1965) human resources model--a composite which he attributes to McGregor (1960), Likert (1961) and others--(4) suggests that the experience and knowledge of workers is of great value to the organization. Worker participation, the full use of their resources, can lead to improved decisions and self-control, which in turn improves worker productivity and satisfaction. Miles (1965) advocated that management view its employees as "human resources", with all the attendant implications, arguing that the almost universal desire of managers to be treated this way by their own bosses, spoke to the effectiveness of the approach in raising morale and performance. From 1965 until 1970, the terms "human resources" or "human resource management" do not appear to have been much used in academic writings. However, the concept of human resources seems to have been well received in management circles, no doubt due to the prominence of Miles' (1965) article. For example, Pyle (1970:19) starts a discussion of human resource accounting(5) by stating: "The importance of human resources to the success of an enterprise is widely acclaimed in corporate pronouncements..." Unfortunately, he does not provide any examples. THE DEVELOPMENT OF HRM

The early 1970's saw a few developments which popularized HRM in management circles. In 1972, the American Management Association (AMA), an educational organization for managers, published Innovative Human Resource Management by R. L. Datnick. This how-to-manual for senior managers and "employee relations" executives (1) emphasizes the harmonization of employee needs, interests, and desires with corporate objectives and (2) begins with "The human beings in an organization are its most important resource"(Desatnick, 1972:i). The AMA began its existence as a personnel managers' association, and has worked ever since to promote the role and importance of the personnel manager (Ling, 1964). This book was part of the AMA's efforts to capitalize on the attention given to Miles' (1965) article in North American business increase the profile of personnel managers. Purloined by Personnel Management During the middle to late 1970's the definition of HRM changes. As the term "human resource management" became more welt known and widespread in the business world, the dominant definition of HRM in most textbooks becomes very closely linked to the work being done in personnel management. A series of authors, generally scholars with a background in traditional personnel management or human relations, put out a series of textbooks which equate HRM with personnel management. For example, Robbins (1978:4), in Personnel: The Management of Human Resources, states that: Today the academic discipline described as "personnel" represents the study of an organization's human resources and how their contribution to the organization's goals can be most effectively attained. Peterson and Tracy (1979:3), in The Systematic Management of Human Resources, go even further: Human resource management, or personnel and industrial relations [italics added], consists of the activities within a given firm that deal with the recruiting,

selecting, appraising, rewarding, and developing of employees (including managers) as well as negotiating with labor unions. Henneman, Schwab, Fossum and Dyer 1980) deal with the issue choosing for a title the composite term Personnel/Human Resource Management and using it or the abbreviation P/HRM throughout their textbook. This equation of human resource management with personnel management and the traditional functions of the personnel department becomes the one of the dominant perspectives on HRM. It still appears in survey textbooks, for example, Werther, Davis, Schwind, and Das (1990:9) state that: Human Resource Management also called personnel management...[italics in original] ...focuses on what managers--especially human resource specialists-[italics added] do and what they should do. Human Resource Management Re-Theorized in the 1980's Drucker's (1954) and Bakke's (1958) broader perspective on HRM resurfaces in the early 1980's. During this period, HRM underwent some intense scrutiny as many scholars attempted to produce a general theory of HRM which could be used for explanation and prediction, and to direct practitioners and researchers towards understudied or overlooked aspects of the employment relationship. Most of these efforts at theory-building focused on integrating HRM with strategic planning, with a view to making HRM a planned central component of an organization's efforts at effectiveness. In many ways, this reflects a full turn back to Bakke (1958) with its emphasis on HRM being a general management function of importance equal to accounting, production, and the others. The first such work was by Tichy, Fombrun, and Devanna (1982), though there were a rapid succession of others (i.e., Baird, Meshoulam & DeGive, 1983; Burack, 1985; Dyer, 1993, 1984; Golden & Ramanujam, 1985; Odiome, 1984; Smith, 1982). All of these works emphasised the need for a fuller theory of strategic human resource management (SHRM) and suggested approaches to take.

The term appears to have been coined to distinguish it from the purloined HRM, by then often equated with personnel management. This SHRM differed from personnel because of its focus on planned proactive measures which are linked to the organization's overall strategic plan, opposing personnel's reactive "firefighting" approach. Probably the most influential effort at HRM theorizing is the model of Beer, Spector, Lawrence, Mills and Walton (1984) work on integrating the various aspects of managing individuals within the organization. Beer et al. (1984:ix) define human resource management as the synthesis of perspectives from organizational

behavior/development,

labor

relations,

and

personnel

administration. As a field of study, Beer et al. (1984:1) view HRM as "the study of all management decisions and actions which affect the nature of the relationship between the organization and employees." Their application of the definition is broader, as they also discuss work system design as an important function in HRM.(6) Interestingly, Beer et al. (1984) does not explicitly mention strategy. Rather they focused on four areas of HRM policy choices: (1) choices regarding employee influence mechanisms, (2) choice regarding human resource flows in, through, and out of the organization, (3) choices regarding reward systems, and (4) choices regarding the work systems employed. Specific choices are made within the constraints of shareholder interests and situational factors, with a view to achieving four HRM outcomes: commitment, competence, congruence, and cost effectiveness. It is the focus on commitment and congruence which brings in strategic planning and the linking of different policies to make a cohesive unit. This is in contrast to the traditional personnel management perspective which focused on the cost effectiveness and competitiveness outcomes almost exclusively. The British Experience in the Late 1980's The late 1980's saw an interesting development in the definition of HRM. as a management philosophy using the name "human resource management" made a

bold appearance in Thatcher's Britain (Storey, 1989). Unlike other management fads or movements which occasionally gain brief popularity in the business community, British researchers encountered a profound acceptance of the management philosophy and vocabulary of HRM at all levels of management within British enterprises (Blyton & Turnbull, 1992; Storey, 1989). However, unlike North America where HRM had sprung from, and was encouraged, by academic perspectives, in Britain the importation of HRM was management led, and most academics remain sceptical, if not critical, of its view points (Legge, 1989; Storey, 1989, 1992; Blyton & Turnbull, 1992). British scholars appear to be more sensitive to the opacity and lack of agreement in definitions about HRM (Blyton & Turnbull, 1992; Guest, 1987; Legge, 1989; Noon, 1992; Storey, 1989; Storey & Sisson, 1989). British academics have focused their criticism on the unitarist/managerialist perspective of HRM (Guest, 1987; Keenoy & Anthony, 1992; Legge, 1989). British research into work and workers has generally been pluralist in its orientation, refusing generally to accept that workers and capitalists/managers have the same interests or even common interests (Keenoy & Anthony, 1992). British managerialist researchers have generally followed the definitions of Beer et al. (1984) and Tichy et al. (1982) and are now creating HRM journals and occupying HRM chairs. Others chose to view and define HRM as a sophisticated set of union-avoidance practices and as a mechanism designed to erode pluralist industrial relations in Britain. Keenoy and Anthony (1992:235), for example, call HRM a meta-narrative locating, informing and legitimizing managerial practice in a time of rapid economic restructuring: the 'messages' carried by HRM are far more important than the devices employed. A milder form of this critical perspective has also appeared in the journal Relations Industrielles (Barkin, 1989; Godard, 1991; Ichniowski, Delaney, & Lewin, 1989; Wells, 1993).

THREE FAMILIES OF DEFINITIONS From this review, emerge three general families of HRM definitions. The first, laid out by Drucker (1954), Bakke (1958) and reiterated by Beer et al. (1984) and others (Lewin, 1991; Schuler, 1990), holds that HRM is a broad general managers' function which deals with the proper management -understanding, maintenance, development, utilization, and integration -- of individuals in the work place. It implies a management philosophy consistent with the view that employees, all employees, are valuable organizational resources, rather than expenses which the personnel department should assist in minimizing. The second family of definitions -- Henneman et al. (1980), Peterson and Tracy (1979), Robbins (1978), Strauss and Sayles (1980), Werther et al. and others -holds that HRM is a new synonym for personnel management, the management of employees by specialist staff. It assumes the existence of a set of best or acceptable practices for making effective use of workers and attempts to detail these. The third family of definitions results from the managerialist/unitarist resurgence in Britain during the Thatcher years. Many scholars with workerist/pluralist orientations hold that HRM is essentially a sophisticated form of union avoidance, and a camouflaged method of managerial control. They focus not on the tools or levers which HRM encourages or uses but rather on the different way that HRM conveys managerial legitimacy. CONCLUSION Human resource management is, and was, an attempt to resolve the failures of personnel management, human relations, and industrial relations to provide direction as to how organizations should handle people so that organizational effectiveness and individual satisfaction would be maximized. The resulting discussion and conception of humans as valuable resources had a broad appeal which attracted many proponents of personnel management, human relations, and

industrial relations. In the exchange, the meaning of HRM became so diffuse and uncertain that it is now idiomatic. Human resource management now exists in several versions, each tied to the philosophical and institutional position of its adherents. Human resource management continues to enjoy managerial support and attract managerial attention. Conducting HRM research is a more legitimate and socially desirable endeavour than conducting research on industrial relations, with its pro-union slant, or conducting research on organizational behavior with it ethereal findings. This broad acceptance of the goals and purposes of human resource management may result in its imperialization of the study of work and employment within business schools.
