Meaning and Definitions
Human Resources
1. Michael J.Jucius has defined human
resources as “a whole consisting of
inter-related, inter-dependent and
interacting physiological,
psychological, sociological and ethical
components”
2. From the national point of view,
human resources are knowledge,
skills, creative abilities, talents and
attitudes obtained in the population;
whereas from the view- point of the
individual enterprises, they represent
the total of the inherent abilities,
acquired knowledge and skills as
exemplified in the talents and aptitude
of its employees.
-Leon.C.Megginson
3. Human resources are human capital and are
categorised into intellectual capital, social
capital and emotional capital.

Intellectual capital consists of specialised
knowledge, tacit knowledge and skills,
cognitive complexity and learning capacity.
 Social capital is made up of network of
relationships, sociability and trustworthiness.
 Emotional capital consists of self-confidence,
ambition and courage, risk-bearing ability
and resilience.
- Sumantra Ghosal
Human Resource Management
1. “Personnel management is the
planning, organising, directing and
controlling of the procurement,
development, compensation,
integration, maintenance and
separation of human resources to the
end that individual, organisational and
social objectives are accomplished”.
-Flippo
2. HRM is defined as the part of
management which is concerned with
people at work and with their relationship
within an enterprise. Its aim is to bring
together and develop into an effective
organisation of the men and women who
make up an enterprise and having regard
for the well-being of the individuals and
of working groups, to enable them to
make their best contribution to its
success.
-National Institute of Personnel Management (NIPM)
3. HRM is concerned with the people
dimension in management. Since every
organisation is made up of people,
acquiring their services, developing their
skills, motivating them to higher levels of
performance and ensuring that they
continue to maintain their commitment to
the organisation are essential to
achieving organisational objectives. This
is true, regardless of the type of
organisation – government, business,
education, health, recreation or social
action.
- Decenzo and Robbins
