In the course of the research, we examined the impact of the selection and training system of a Hungarian automotive company on organizational performance, which together ensure the future development of the company. It contributes to the optimization of sales, purchasing and logistics processes, ensures customer satisfaction and the success of the company. In this fast-paced and globalized world, it is essential for companies to be aware that one of the most important factors of production is human resources themselves, whose proper selection and training are a key element in maintaining and developing economic competitiveness. Human resources play the biggest role in the operation of an economic organization. Process quality and process orientation reduce costs, increase profitability, and improve processes to always meet growing requirements. This is the basis of the quality strategy. Therefore, it consistently applies preventive quality assurance methods, learns from failures, eliminates the causes of mistakes without delays and transfers its experience to all areas of the company for preventive action. It is customer-oriented and strives for excellence in all areas, and thus makes it an obligation for everyone to aim for the highest level of customer service. Due to the special peculiarities and characteristics of the labor force, it cannot be compared to any of the production resources. Taking this as a basis, the human resource management used to be more of a functional purpose, while in recent decades human factors have become an essential source of competitiveness. The market operation and performance of an organization depends significantly on how we can select the most suitable workforce. We need to see what the strategic points that determine the role of HR are, and we are also looking for the answer in which direction the needs, expectations and professionalism given by the generational difference move the activities of human resources. The aim of the research is to get an answer to how the employees of one of the leading Hungarian players in the automotive industry perceive the importance of the selection and training of the workforce in maintaining and improving competitiveness. To this end, we used a semi-structured interview, with the help of which we evaluated the current selection and training processes in the light of competitiveness and made suggestions for the improvement and refinement of these processes.

This chapter explores the impact of technology on parenthood. It draws out some of the themes raised by the genetic enhancement debate, arguing that they reflect some of the current themes in contemporary parenthood. Particularly pertinent is the phenomenon of hyper-parenting, which itself often relies on technology to enable surveillance of children. It is argued that this practice reflects the political and popular rhetoric around conceptions of parental responsibility, which has been picked up and reinforced in the law. The chapter concludes by arguing against an overemphasis on the power that parents have over children to train them to be good citizens and argues for a relational vision of parenthood, recognizing also the power that children have over adults and the way that children can shape parents.

An empirical investigation into perceptions about the handling of knowledge in organisations. The findings are based on replies to a non-random postal questionnaire based survey. The respondents were the senior human resource management (HRM) and information technology (IT) specialists at the 60 largest Scottish companies (as measured by market capitalisation). The findings in the main confirm both ideas in the literature in general and the findings and conclusions from previous studies including Alavi, and Leidner (1999). In addition some new aspects are reported which can be construed as showing support for the idea of professional groupings holding onto knowledge and for the existence of ambivalence towards the emphasis placed on the role of IT in conducting KM.

Abstract This study investigates the impact of Information Technology (IT) on human resource functions of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) public sector organisations. This paper presents the results of a survey of human resources directors (HRDs) in the public sector organisations in the UAE. It is an initial attempt to provide a case study of information and services provided by IT, primarily Web-based self-service, in the human resource function. HRDs was asked about their perceptions on the effectiveness of human resources information systems (HRIS) for their organisations. The results were positive and showed that the scope of HRIS is broad, with almost 28% and 30% of employees contacting HR through email and the Web, respectively. In terms of the perception of HRDs of the impact of HRIS, operational impacts such as the automation of record-keeping, alleviation of administrative burdens, and improving HR efficiency are significant.Concerningthe relational aspect, respondents were clear about HRIS roles such as a reduction in response time and improved service quality but they doubted that HRIS enhances the organisation’s ability to attract top talent, improves awareness or relationships between HR and employees. About transformational aspects such as re-engineering HRM, broadening its scope, improving the quality of services, and retaining knowledge areessential to HRDs. The most critical success factors of HRIS was improved data accuracy and improved HRM services, and inadequate funding and budgeting were fairly rated number one barrier factor to HRIS.
