Assignment Tasks Task 1 Read the Case provided by Chaudhary on Human Resource Management and answer the questions below related to the case. (30 Marks) Case on HRM Mr. Amit Sharma has finished a BBA from Tribhuvan University in 2013. He joined as a management trainee at Prakash Cable Company to supervise a group of employees. He was asked to report to Mr. Arun Chaudhary HR manager of company. On the first day, Arun assigned Amit to a small group of workers who were responsible for binding the cables to be supplied to the market for sale. MEC_AMO_TEM_034_01 Page 1 of 9 Human Resources Management (BUSS 1701) – Spring - 2020 – CW (Assignment-1) – A & B – QP Mr. Amit as BBA graduate had a supervisory role and was surprised to find workers not doing things properly. They were carrying out instructions at a low pace, including gossip and even wasting time wherever there was lot of work to do. Mr. Amit often found himself alone binding cables while other members of the group were wasting time elsewhere. Mr. Amit was quick to indicate this to his team members. He said to the team members that he did not like this kind of wastage of time in the workplace. He tried to motivate them by saying that this type of wasteful activities would have a negative impact on organizational performance and ultimately on their bonus and other incentives. Other team members started to make arguments with Mr. Amit that they did not care about his instructions, and that if he wanted to complain to upper levels of management he could. They also said that he may find himself out of work. After the unhappy exchange of arguments and counter arguments, the team members practically boycotted Mr. Amit in their social network, in things such as taking tea, having lunch together, and other recreational activities. Such types of behavior become hard for Mr. Amit to put up with, and one day he approached Mr. Ram Thapa, one of the senior workers for advice. Mr. Amit explained to Mr. Ram that he was doing his job for which he was paid and as a new BBA graduate he wanted to be a creative and responsible in carrying out job. He questioned why other team members were not supporting him along as well as Mr. Ram himself. Mr. Ram replied that if he had been in the company as long as they had, he would be just like them. He said the company did not have any kind of incentives on the basis of performance and profitability of the company, and that they were just doing a few works and passing time. It was a clear indication of unhappiness by employees and a cause for great concern and disgruntlement. Refrence : Chaudhary, R. K., n.d. academia.

(50 Marks) Introduction to HRM Human resources management is one of the most complex and challenging fields of management. It deals with the people dimension in management. Over the past eighty years, various approaches to human resource management have been adopted by companies. The human resource approach which is currently in vogue, has redefined the way people are treated and managed in the organizational context. This approach requires that employees or the work force be treated as resources and not just as factors of production (as in the scientific approach) or emotional beings with psychological needs (as in the human relations approach). Basically, HRM includes the four functions of acquiring, developing, motivating and managing the human resources.

HRP is the process by which an organization ensures that it has the right number and kinds of people, at the right places, at the right time and that these people are capable of performing their tasks effectively and efficiently. This helps the organization to achieve its overall objectives. Two major ways in which societal trends affect employment is through consumer markets, which affect the demand for goods and services, and labor markets, which affect the supply of people needed to produce goods and services. A human resource professional would be better equipped for human resource planning if he has a good understanding of the market dynamics, changes in the economy, organizational processes and technological developments. The process of HRP involves three key steps – assessing and making an inventory of the current human resources, forecasting the organizations human resource needs and matching the demand and supply of human resources.
