Verbal Exchanges

Many factors determine the success of software development projects. The exchange and harnessing of specialized knowledge amongst and between the project team members is one of these. To explore this situation, an ethnographic case study of the product-testing phase of a new human resources management system was undertaken. Extempore verbal exchanges occur through the interplay of project team members in weekly meetings, as the software was tested, analyzed, and altered in accordance with the customer's needs. Utilizing tacit knowledge from the project members as well as the group, new tacit knowledge surfaces and spirals, which allows it to build over time. Five extempore triggers surfaced during the research generated through explicit stimuli, allowing project members to share and create new knowledge. The theoretical development places these learning triggers in an interpretive framework, which could add value to other software development and project management contexts.

Factors Influencing

The study aims to establish the factors influencing human resources on cost, since the construction cost of housing delivery is often above budgeted cost. The challenges occurred due to unsustainable practices in the use of human resources, design-related issues, matching resources availability with cost and time frame problems. The methodology used is a sequential mixed method to achieve the aim and objective of the study, for this purpose, construction managers and stakeholders were considered as research respondents. Data collected was analysed on SPSS software version 25, with the application of a descriptive statistics analysis technique. Findings deduced are involvement of all team members in the planning and implementation process will enhance mutual relationships, less conflict and fewer controversies on design, while documenting delivery roles and responsibilities among construction team members will increase the satisfaction of interest and efficient resources utilisation. This study establishes “factors regulating human resources management on construction cost and “strong component factors influencing human resources on cost”. The study then assembles the factors to develop an operational framework that will control construction resources management on cost, as a guide to improve competency and sustainable techniques for affordable housing delivery within the income limit of the poor people in South Africa.

Abstract The crisis and the dramatic unemployment have had an inevitable impact in salary policy and development of organizations. Therefore, considering that every organization is interested for their employees to be more motivated to work, thus, this was for this reason and relying on literature, papers and research to know to what extend the reward influences motivation of the employees. Initially, we shall also understand the notion salary and performance and how important are they in carrying out the work in one organization, and how they have evaluated by the management of the same organization. Afterwards, we shall show the way and the best methods on how to pay employees, how the manager must decide on the level of salaries of the employees, and must decide that salaries are not the same for each employee based on their performance, etc. The time has shown that the performance evaluation provides information that serves the basis for all other important activities of human resources management planning, selection, reward and motivation, continuously leading to the formation of employees. It is worth mentioning the fact that companies in general still has much work to do in connection with programs for compensation of employees, and this relying on the fact that many companies, particularly in the Balkan states where they continue to give salary different bonuses in envelopes, while reducing the transparency of payment and reward in these companies-organizations.

Abstract The development of Information Technology projects using Project Management Methodologies like PMP-PMI, Agile or SCRUM for software development, CPM, CCPM, RAD, XP, FDD, ITIL, JAD, LD, PRINCE2, etc.; may be a complete success or a total catastrophe, for series of reasons, events and circumstances that frequently are not related at all with the deliverables, the products being built, the IT technology involved, the level of expertise, the responsibility and professionalism of the stakeholders including the project manager, but due to intercultural factors. The PMP-PMI Model (PMBOK) describes 10 areas: Cost Management, Time Management, Scope Management, Risk Management, Quality Management, Procurement Management, Integration Management, Stakeholder Management, Human Resources Management and Communication Management. An IT project is considered successful if the customer is happy, but technically and formally if the TEAM was able to meet the triple constraint set up by time/cost/scope. This happy ending is not possible if the project manager and the team as a whole are not able to confront, attack and solve the issues associated with Human Resources Management, Stakeholder Management and specially Communication Management. These three areas are highly influenced by Intercultural factors like language, race, age, gender, religion, sexual preferences, beliefs, habits, etc., becoming their analysis an essential task if we want to accomplish and guarantee a favorable outcome. This position paper concludes in contradiction with what is a very common believe between many technical project managers that the most important factors to take in consideration for the success of an IT project management is the careful and planned attention to the potential issues and challenges associated with the cross-cultural communication and the human resources implicated in the projects. This paper will describe the cultural dimensions, issues and challenges associated with Intercultural Project Management for IT.

Advantages And Disadvantages

Service organizations have, over the years, been constantly faced with increasing customer demand, growing competition, digitalization, and numerous changes in the business environment to which they must adapt in order to survive in the marketplace. As the main specificity of service organizations is reflected in the “intangibility” of their services, for customers who are participants in the service process and for employees who directly depend on the quality of service, service process and customer satisfaction, defining appropriate activities of Human Resources Management process, which manages employees, undoubtedly represents a priority that provides a competitive advantage. This paper will present the results of the research on the characteristics of eight selected sub-processes in the process of Human Resource Management in service versus production organizations of Rasina district, in order to define their specifics and point out their advantages and disadvantages.

The new approach yielded favourable results, labour turnover dropped significantly and business improved greatly. In an effort to improve service, and increase profit, Zim-Zum has begun radically changing the way it hires, trains and deploys frontline workers. Management also examined how waiters and waitress do their job and concluded that there was supposed to be a division of labour between them and culinary staff. Management of Zim-Zum believe that companies that excel at managing frontline workers understand that excellent service is more than just a transaction. Expected learning outcomes Students can focus on: the importance of redesigning work so that superior service satisfies both the employee and the customer; human resources management is an important factor in improving employee performance and business performance; the importance of external and internal customers in improving company performance.
