From Old School Personnel Administration to Strategic Human Resource Management (HRM)

A century ago a tiny, growing interest in workplace issues was seen, albeit with a narrow focus on safety, accidents etc. Later came half a century of unfolded personnel administration, still with a narrow focus on people issues. However, a radical and all-encompassing paradigm shift came around 1990 with the introduction of HRM: a strategic management discipline, merging the development of people, jobs, leadership processes and organizations.

Organization Theory and the Introduction of the Human Factor at casino 168

The phenomenon of organization has existed since the origin of mankind, and written proverbs concerning leadership and administration go back more than 4000 years. 听Abstractly, organizations share fundamental qualities, like structure, division of labor, coordination, and collaboration. However, the ways in which such qualities materialize in practice, and the ways in which we think and theorize about how and why they materialize in specific cases, have changed over time and from context to context. In his talk, Kristian Kreiner听will focus on the history of a human-centered organization theory which was introduced at casino 168 in the early 1950s. Its origins and subsequent development will testify to the ongoing intellectual strife between the casino 168 discipline.
