African Perspective

This article reports on the results of a survey conducted among human resource practitioners in South Africa regarding their involvement in and experience of business ethics and unethical behaviour in their organisations. The results of the study concur with the theoretical perception that human resource managers have an important role to play in the institutionalisation of good ethical behaviour in the organisation, with the majority of respondents reporting that the human resource department is a primary resource for ethical initiatives and that human resource professionals are involved in the formulation of ethics policies. The article provides some insights in terms of the role of the human resource managers in the management of ethics. In so doing, an attempt is made to address the question of whether human resource managers should be the drivers of ethics initiatives in the organisation.

Subject area Human resource management. Study level/applicability Undergraduate and graduate level Human Resource Management programmes; Leadership modules. Case overview This case accounts the experience of a Malaysian company, Telekom Malaysia Berhad, in implementing talent management practices in its organization. There were several developments that prompted Telekom Malaysia Berhad to initiate a talent management program. The emergence of competitors had forced the company to introduce initiatives to sustain the business. One of the key initiatives involved the need to better manage its talent. The talent management process at Telekom Malaysia Bhd is divided into four key stages. These are first, talent spotting; second, talent assessment and endorsement; third, formulation of individual development plan; and the fourth, readiness level assessment. Each of these stages is implemented using a well-defined set of standards and activities. Expected learning outcomes This case examines how commitment and support from line management is crucial in the successful implementation of a talent management program and HR-related initiatives generally. Line managers are identified as the missing linchpin between HRM and organizational performance. The case will also identify how the role of line managers is now shifting to support the HR in a strategic sense. Thus, we find a shift in the HR profession from personnel management to strategic human resource management. The case examines the importance of a positive leader-member relationship, creating a culture which is receptive to change. This can be achieved by transformational leader who fosters closer relationships with subordinates. Finally, the case pinpoints how development can occurs in three main ways – on the job experiences, relationships, networking and feedback and formal training opportunities.

This article aims to discuss personnel management in terms of needs-oriented recruitment planning aspects in organizational development. The determinant of the success of a company is human or labor. Even labor provides the largest contribution to the success of a company compared to other factors such as capital, raw materials or machinery. However, not all workers can become productive workers. This workforce must be selected, placed, trained and assessed for their achievements and given appreciation for every achievement that they have contributed to the company. If the conditions of a company allow it to provide benefits or insurance to each of its workers, this will increase the workforce productivity. During its development, the company will face increasingly complex manpower problems, thus human resource management must be carried out professionally by a separate department within a company, namely the Human Resource Department. Human Resource Management or better known as Personnel Management is management that specializes in the field of personnel or in staffing.

In light of the fourth industrial revolution, human resources management (HRM) is considered to be an integral part of any competitive organization and it is responsible for shaping organizational behavior and culture. With the increasing awareness of the industrial impact on the environment, sustainability innovation is a vital discourse for scholars, academicians, and practitioners. This work uses literature from diverse schools of thought that explored the role of the human resource discipline in advancing sustainability innovation. This paper also presents a unique model for human resource and talent development practitioners towards an authentic response to eco-sustainability innovation. A contextualized matrix on implications for sustainability (Crew 2010) incorporating special approaches for sustainability innovation (McCarthy, Garavan, and O’Teele, 2003), green initiatives of human resource department (Milliman, 2013) and the promotion of sustainability culture (Blake, 2016) was outlined that serves as authentic approach to eco-sustainability for practitioners to realistically carry out human resource initiatives in their respective organization. This study further directs human resource professionals to act as boundary spanners in order to facilitate strategic teams who are paramount to responding to the external environment for organizational performance.
