Learning unit contents

THIS COURSE IS GIVEN IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ESFAM AT SOFIA (BULGARIA)

The course is focused on the strategic dimension of HRM policies developed in modern organizations, namely in the public sector. Face to the universalistic and normative beliefs presented in numerous HRM textbooks belonging to the mainstream, mostly from the USA, the course aims at introducing students to the diversity of HRM practices. It tends to explain such a diversity by referring to the contingent theory (which highlights the multiple contextual influences on HRM practices). Finally, it tries to stimulate a critical view on the initiatives of HRM-based modernization in the public sector.
