Title overview

For Human Resources and Personnel courses taken by Educational Administration & Leadership students.

A comprehensive, user-friendly book that covers the fundamentals of human resources function.

Utilizing a management approach that is organized around the processes and procedures necessary for implementing effective human resources administration, the ninth edition of this well-known text covers the eight essential dimensions of the human resources function over eight chapters: human resources planning, recruitment, selection, placement and induction, staff development, performance evaluation, compensation, and collective negotiations. The introductory first chapter presents the human resources function within the context of public school districts while the final chapter helps readers understand the legal, ethical, and policy aspects of human resources administration.
