Human Resource Management and Digitalization (Routledge-Giappichelli Studies in Business and Management)
by Franca Cantoni Gianluigi MangiaDigitalization is changing the world of work. Technology is shifting the relationship between workers and machines and how work is organized; new skills are becoming increasingly relevant in the workplace where workers no longer work for a single company, in 9-to-5 jobs, five days a week. Industry 4.0, also known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution, is revolutionizing the way managers can design, control and improve their activities. While the nature of the tasks and the interdependences between individuals are changing, the impact of intelligent technologies is severely questioning the span of control of leaders and the effectiveness of their leadership styles. The authors sketch out the main changes occurring in the business landscape and identify the new expectations that organizations are formulating for leaders across several industries. In an age in which new leadership models are about to emerge, they describe how the relevant changes impact and shape the managerial arena. This book sets the stage for a new way of thinking on the nature of the relationship between HR and technology. It examines the influence of Industry 4.0 and Innovation 4.0, (i.e. the connection between physical and digital processes in industrial production, where human competencies and machine potential are strictly interconnected throughout the entire value chain), from a myriad of viewpoints: namely in terms of structures, practices, influences (learning, training and communication), competencies and roles. A chapter is also dedicated to the understanding of the impact of Innovation 4.0, in the context of European Universities through E-learning Experiences where a multiple-case study analysis is provided.
Human Resource Management and Ethics at Work
by Lisa GroverHuman Resource Management and Ethics at Work dives deep into understanding ethical human resources practice, including professional codes of conduct and what it means to be an ethical human resources professional. Each chapter explores the philosophical underpinnings of the ethical challenges faced by contemporary human resources professionals. It draws upon narratives from fiction and film to bring these scenarios to life.Each chapter utilises theories and concepts from philosophy to equip current and aspiring human resources professionals to think about ethical issues. There are no right answers here, but by provoking debate and discussion, human resources professionals can make better choices. Through understanding and practice, we become ethical human resources professionals. The book is structured around the three ethical perspectives. First, the perspective of the individual human resources professional, focusing on good character and the traits of an ethical human resources professional. Second, the relationship between the individual human resources professional, the organisation and its employees, and human resources professional bodies. The human resources professional aims to have a positive impact on working lives but has to navigate a complex network of relationships and responsibilities. Third, the narrative moves to the macro level, identifying the social responsibilities of the human resources professional beyond their own organisation. A section of the book is dedicated to each of these pillars, exploring what they mean for the practising HR professional. Concepts and theories from philosophy are applied to understand this meaning. These tools can then be applied to novel situations that HR professionals go on to encounter in the workplace. Teaching activities are included throughout the book.This is an ideal resource for those undertaking an undergraduate or postgraduate course in human resource management, practising human resources professionals who worry about the right thing to do, or anyone interested in people management ethics.
