<em><span lang="EN-US">Employees are the most important assets in an agency, so that quality improvement needs to be an important concern in an effort to achieve agency goals effectively and efficiently. In every management activity, efforts should be made to align the goals of employees so that in the end the objectives of the agency can be achieved as much as possible. Performance appraisal is the most reliable tool for managers to control human resources and productivity. Performance appraisal can be used effectively in directing employee behavior, in order to produce high quality and volume of human resources. Managers can use the operational performance process to set the direction of work in selecting, training, guiding career planning, and rewarding competent employees. The essence of employment is basically regulation, potential mobilization, motivation process, and human resource development in fulfilling satisfaction through his work. This is useful for achieving the goals of the individual, organization, or community in which he works. Decisions made regarding manpower are strongly influenced by the philosophy adopted by the leader regarding labor empowerment. For example, views on work motivation, and the concept of labor. From this point of view, an employment pattern will be formed that is adjusted to the image of the leader. Every government and private agency will always try to improve the effectiveness of employees' work. This can be done by developing employee work. Most leaders are very supportive of employee development. The lower the job level, the more labor supply there is. The positions leading to special skills are not filled because of the lack of employees who meet the requirements. A person is trained to carry out the basic arrangements essential for the job, the most common types of training being fieldwork, meetings or discussions.</span></em>

Since the late 1990s, human resources information systems (HRIS) that exploit inexpensive browser technology have been implemented by companies and public sector organizations alike due to the perceived benefits of such self-service systems, which include: added convenience for employees, simplified approval processes, reduced administration costs, and more time for strategic human resources management (HRM) activities (e.g., Zampetti and Adamson, 2001). Yet despite their growing pervasiveness, it is common that the e-HRM is underused by employees in many organizations (Gevity, 2005). The purpose of this article is to offer insights that will help system developers and human resources managers to design and introduce user-accepted e-HRM systems. The remainder of this article is organized as follows: Following a review of information technology usage behavior, an augmented technology acceptance model suitable for studying e-HRM use is proposed. An empirical study of e-HRM user behavior is then presented and the findings discussed.

Abstract One of the most important components of strengthening the national health system is the introduction of an effective strategy for the development of human capital in the industry based on improving the status of health workers, changing the sectoral system of qualifications and their confirmation, changing approaches to the health education system, as well as improving the system of state planning for training health workers. The implementation of these measures will ensure an increase in the efficiency of human resources management in the industry, ensuring the provision of quality healthcare services. At the same time, the new sectoral policy of human resource management should be based on such principles as the availability of the necessary human resources, the proper competence of employees, integrated development of human resources, responsiveness of human resources to the needs of the population, continuous professional development, productivity of human resources, and social recognition. Key words: human resources for health, training of health workers, status of health workers

PurposeThe article explains why some Chilean companies have implemented a partnership strategy with trade unions, in a national context broadly described as unfavorable to such approach. Moreover, it discusses the shape and limits of this strategy.Design/methodology/approachThe argument draws on a case study conducted between 2016 and 2018 in three large companies. Human resources managers, line managers and union officers were interviewed in each of these companies, and internal and administrative documentation were analyzed.FindingsThe article demonstrates that the management’s partnership strategy in the studied companies has emerged to contain the union revitalization. Additionally, it suggests this strategy has not favored trust-based relationships that guarantee long-term mutual gains for employees and companies. The article identifies some factors that explain this situation: the regulation, the economic uncertainty and the absence of a pluralist management perspective.Originality/valueThe article has the value of providing empirical evidence on union–management partnership, a topic that has gained strategic importance for large Chilean companies but remains unexplored in the mainstream the human resources management literature. The article also contributes to underscore the theoretical relevance of political and cultural variables in explaining management strategies and their results.
