SA Human Resource Management

South African Human Resource Management, now in its eighth edition, answers the ever-growing demand for a human resource management (HRM) compendium, globally but specifically within the South African context. This is even more so in the post Covid-19 phase, which required new HR and organisational skills from the fraternity. Written by South Africans for South Africans, the book contextualises HRM locally and within the wider African context, and demonstrates why HRM is central to the sustainable development challenges we face.

This update covers contemporary HR trends in South Africa and the SABPP's National HR Management System Standard and its supporting process of the ongoing development of Professional Practice Standards. It contains cutting-edge information for complete streams of HRM studies, and now includes numerous public-sector examples and connections, making it an indispensable tool for those practising (or aspiring to practise) HRM in public-sector organisations. The book emphasises the broader 'HRM agenda', showing its value to working people, organisations and society.

This edition is ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate studies at higher education institutions, as well as for human resource practitioners. It is of value to management development and MBA programmes, as it clearly shows that HRM is central to the work of all managers, and to anyone involved and/or potentially interested in the management of human resources on the African continent.
