This book focuses on the performance improvement approach, which meets the requirements of a practice-oriented human resources management concept. The important thing here is that the optimal performance of employees and thus of organizations results from individual abilities on the one hand and the working environment on the other. In the second edition, "Praktische Personalwirtschaft" includes the effects on the field of human resources management that arise from the "Bologna Process". The practice-oriented character qualifies the book especially for the human resources management training in business administration Bachelor's degree programs. Career changers in the subject receive a condensed overview of relevant fields of activity. Finally, it is also suitable for part-time MBA programs.
