keine

Upon completion of the module (two complementary lectures), students will be able to:

• understand the complex issues, challenges and fields of action in organisational Human Resource (HR) Management;
• analyse, interpret and manage HR issues within heterogeneous fields of stakeholders and environments;
• effectively analyse and apply HR instruments according to the specific practical context;
• develop skills to self-reflection by dealing with theoretical as well as practical issues in HR Management and are able to press their point within the scientific discussion;
• are able to locate a specific research question within the scientific discussion in the field of Human Resource Management and to interlink, reflect and evaluate it accordingly.

By attending the non-compulsory tutorials and participating in lecture discussions, students can develop their own position on the inter-linkages between theoretical approaches and practical courses of action. Students will thus be able to identify problems, analyse them critically, and develop solutions. As they have the opportunity to work in small groups within the tutorials and to participate during lecture discussions, students may also learn to handle different points of view and discuss constructively. Overall they will be prepared for the specific requirements faced in the field of HR Management.

Students develop theoretical as well as practical insights into the backgrounds and specific characteristics of “Human Resource” Management, in particular the following:
- origins and theoretical basis
- development and framework requirements
- workforce planning
- recruitment and selection
- work organisation
- working time organisation
