Personalmanagement - Personalentwicklung

In socio-economics, managing personnel has become central to ensuring organisations’ survival. Organisations have had to reorganise themselves and they need highly qualified personnel. In addition, the lack of such employees has become palpable and will only intensify. However, instead of such organisations reacting to the growing demands of the market with appropriate incentives, as profit-oriented businesses have done, the competition for public contracts in the social economy combined with fragmented salary agreements has led to deteriorating wages and precarious employment relationships. Against this backdrop, personnel management has little room for manoeuvre, but still has to look to the future. This textbook introduces students to the basic principles of personnel management and development, and provides appropriate suggestions as to which strategic and operative instruments can open up new opportunities in order for even small organisations to be successful.
