The textbook provides an easily understandable and practice-oriented overview of various aspects of human resource management. Starting from a function-oriented approach to personnel management, it covers all areas that need to be addressed in the HR department, from recruitment and personnel changes to personnel controlling. A particular focus is placed on current issues related to potential- and performance-oriented personnel development. Additionally, behavioral science aspects of human resource management are discussed, which are relevant not only for the HR department but also for managers. Current cross-sectional topics in HR such as employee motivation, career management, employee retention, as well as team and conflict management are also addressed.
