| Inhalt | Human Resource Management (HRM) concerns the policies, practices, and systems that influence employees' behavior, attitudes, and performance. HRM aims at applying human resources within organizations such that people succeed and organizational performance improves. HRM is of high strategic relevance as evidenced by strong links between good HRM practices and business outcomes. In the course, concepts and instruments for employee selection, performance management, and personnel development are presented. Some instruments are also practically applied in small groups. Fundamentals of effective leadership and dynamics in teams are discussed, in particular in view of the increasing demands for balancing stability and flexibility in fast-changing organizations. The course is taught from the perspective of team members' and team leaders' role in HRM, not from the perspective of HR managers. Thereby, students can directly relate their own experience to the HRM practices discussed. This applies to prior work experience, but also to any other teamwork experience, be it as a student or in a private role, for instance in sports clubs. Selecting the right team members, discussing and improving individual and team performance, managing task and relational conflicts, and sharing and building on each other's knowledge to solve problems are ubiquituous challenges that the course addresses. As part of the course, students also apply HRM instruments in company contexts in a group semester project. Topics for these projects are determined prior to the course and in the past have concerned leadership assessment, performance-based pay, and working in virtual teams. Students are provided with background literature and specific tools to conduct the project and are accompanied by a project advisor who provides additional support. | ||||
