In this section, the essential terms relevant to the study of Human Resource
Management and to demonstrate ULOc was operationally defined and discussed in
the essential knowledge to establish a standard frame of reference as to how the
texts work in your chosen field or career. You will encounter these terms as we go
through the study of HR Management. Specific discussion per topic shall be
provided in the later part to help you understand more about the scope in studying
this course.

Essential Knowledge
To perform the aforesaid big picture (unit learning outcomes) for the first three
weeks of the course, you need to fully understand the following essential knowledge
that will be laid down in the succeeding pages. Please note that you are not limited
to refer to these resources exclusively. Thus, you are expected to utilize other books,
research articles, and other resources that are available in the university’s library,
e.g., ebrary, search.proquest.com, etc.

1. Recruitment and Selection Processes – There are steps in Recruitment and


Selection process. Although, the process differs from one organization to the
other, shown below are the guidelines on how organization recruits personnel
and fill vacant posts and sources of personnel or skills needed for each position.
 Short listing –after gathering the pool of applicants, the HR
practitioner consolidates the candidates who will be endorsed to
preliminary screening basing on the information available in the
applications. Short listing is important since it is impossible to
invite each and every applicant for an interview due to time and
financial constraints.
 Preliminary Interview – Enables the HR practitioner to meet the
applicant personally so that both emotional and physical
disposition of the applicant can be evaluated. Through
preliminary interview, the recruiting officer may also validate the
information provided by the applicant in his application forms
and letters. At any rate, factual information is possible to be
obtained using application blanks that can be filled out by the
applicant. These are series of questions prepared by the

30
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

recruiter to know more about the candidate.


 Employment Interview – The next stage after the preliminary
interview is the employment interview. In this stage, the
numbers of candidate are down to the most qualified for the job.
This is considered as the most difficult stage in the selection
process since when you reach this stage, you most likely met
the minimum set of requirements, necessary skills and
knowledge.
i. Principles of Interviewing – There are basic
principles that require a good interviewing that
serves as a guideline for the assessment of the
candidate. Using these frameworks, biases and
personal gains of the interviewer will be avoided.
Below is the popular interviewing guideline from
Mungo Frazer’s Five Point Plan or the Pentagon
Peg discussed in Ubeko (1975).
a. First impression and physical make up
b. Qualifications and expectations;
c. Brains and abilities;
d. Motivation; and
e. Adjustment
 Another principle from Edwin Flippo (1980) slightly differs
from the Pentagon Peg.
i. Preparation – A careful panning must be done
before any conduct of interview. List of objectives
of the interviews and the methods of
accomplishing these major objectives must be
determined. Including some knowledge of the
interviewer with the interviewee. This enables the
interviewer to determine what to expect from the
interviewee. This important stage of interviewing

31
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

process however evades Ubeku’s Pentagon Peg


that states, “First impression and physical make
up” which in fact is largely “setting” the second
stage of Flippo’s analysis.
ii. Setting – There are two major types of setting
that the interviewer is expected to observe:
Physical and Mental settings. Ubeku’s one-sided
approach, the physical setting is a two
dimensional approach for Flippo. The first
consideration of the principle is that, the
interviewer must make the physical environment
as much as possible attractive and suitable for
the vacant job especially for executive levels.
Prospective candidates might be discouraged if
the physical setting is untidy and inconvenient.
Other physical setting includes the first
impression or the appearance of the interviewee
at the beginning of the interview. A smart-looking
gentleman with a good posture will stand out
compared with an untidy and shabby candidate.
iii. Conduct of the interview – In this stage, the
interviewer gets the desired more in depth
information not covered during the preliminary
interview. First, the interviewer must create a
rapport between him and the interviewee. This
will give the interviewee confidence and trust with
the interviewer as part of the introductory piece
of the interview process. Because aside from
enabling the interviewer to feel free, a
conversation starter will determine the reaction of
interviewee to certain issues. After which, the

32
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

interviewer may start asking questions related to


the job. It should be easy to understand and
sensitive questions not related to the interview
questions must be avoided. The interviewer’s job
is to listen carefully to the answers of the
interviewer and must write down essential
information.
iv. Close – When approaching to the end of the
interview, the interviewee must determine some
indications that the interview is done and
followed by information of the interviewer’s future
action. Example is the information about the
outcome of the interview.
 Evaluation – The evaluation of an interview follows after the
interviewee leaves the room. The written information by the
interviewer should be examined for broader perspective
since the details are still fresh in the mind of the interviewers.
 Selection – Differs from one organization to another, the final
selection is done after the evaluation and final decision must
be done immediately. Although, other organizations take
results to selection and placement committee for further
scrutiny. Shown below is an example of a step in Selection
process by Noe, R. (2020).
 First, the human resource professional reviews the basic
requirements and if the applicants met the standards. If the
applicants met the basic requirements, there will be
administered tests and a review on work samples to rate the
candidate. There are also jobs that requires actual
performance of the job to evaluate the candidate’s abilities.
 Then, a proper interview will be conducted to further screen
the candidate through face to face conversation. For the top

33

Human Resource Management Program

very view candidates who passed the first three steps will be
undergoing background checking to verify if the information
provided by the candidate is factual. Lastly, the supervisors
together with the HR personnel make a final decision who
will be accepted for the job.

shall be provided in the later part to help you understand more about the scope in
studying this course.
Please proceed immediately to the “Essential Knowledge” part since the first

Essential Knowledge

To perform the aforesaid big picture (unit learning outcomes) for


the weeks 4-5 of the course, you need to fully understand the following
essential knowledge that will be laid down in the succeeding pages.
Please note that you are not limited to exclusively refer to the these
resources. Thus, you are expected to utilize other books, research
articles and other resources that are available in the university’s library
e.g. ebrary, search.proquest.com etc.
1. Induction of Personnel
 Induction refers to the process of assisting the newly
hired employees in meeting their needs for security,
belongingness, status, information and direction in the
organization. This is conceived at the beginning of the
recruitment process when the inductee made the
necessary personal, position, organizational and social
adaptations to enable him to become an effective
employee. Induction makes sure that the new employee
is at ease in the unfamiliar organizational environment.

41
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

 Upon placement of employees in an organization, a


systematic organizational effort is conducted to
minimize problems among new employees called
Induction. In layman’s term, this is an orientation or
socialization activities done to make the employee fully
adjusted to the environment so that the employee can
give his best in pursuit of the organizational goals.
 The initiation of induction process can contribute to
personnel assimilation, security, personnel development
and satisfaction being a member of the organization.
Since a newly recruited employee requires more
guidance, consideration and understanding for a short
while until he becomes fully self-directed, self-motivated
to do the job and fully effective member of the
organization.
 Most resignation occurs in the early time of placement
or probationary period when induction is not practiced in
the organization. Employees also have emotional needs
in the organizational environment. He is apprehensive
of many things including the community, his co-workers
or his ability to succeed. If new employees are not
informed with the organizational objectives, specific
duties and responsibilities, organizational culture and
taboos or standards he must follow.
 Undeniably, urgent resignations or fast turnover is
considered as loss. The recruitment, selection,
induction and supervision process is also an investment
of the organization. One way to lessen these losses is
the effective induction process.
 However, Induction process in some organizations is
not developed and misstatement or problems is

42
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

prevalent. A careful planning, organizing, directing and


controlling activities must be done in the induction
process.
2. Nature of Induction Program –
 Induction involves more than just making the new
employee comfortable in an unfamiliar and new
working environment. It should be created to enable
the staff to achieve a job satisfaction and use his
abilities unto his maximum potential to be able to
achieve organizational goals.
 It is essential that the officials of the organization be
introduced where the new employee is assigned
with so that if problems occur connected with
adjustment problems will be solved immediately.
Because the new employee will not feel comfortable
and anxious on his work, especially if he do not
know how the department or organization operates.
If not adequately informed of the ways work is done,
the system including the new employee will fall. It is
important that the immediate head and the more
established staff in the department won’t forget the
difficulties of a new employee’s adjustments. There
are a lot of mistakes and misunderstanding in which
the new staff finds himself and it can easily be
avoided with a proper induction program.
3. Scope of Induction Program – Upon arrival of the new staff
in the department, he should be received by the immediate
head whom will provide him the information of the
organization which is often written in the employee manual
and policies and procedures.
 First, the newly hired employee must be aware of

43
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

the terms and conditions of employment; health and


services; his work load; extra duties; working hours
and in-service training requirements.
 Secondly, he should know the community the
organization belongs. Example of which is the
geography of the areas including the customs and
taboos, transportation, religious organizations, the
people and the attitude of the people in the
community toward the organization.
 Thirdly, the new employee must be fully accustomed
to the facilities, equipment materials and aids of the
organization. Together with the values, goals,
practices and operating procedures. All of the
mentioned must be explained to the new employee
as part of the induction.
 Fourthly, the new employee must also know the
executives and employees of the organization. If
possible, including their professional interests, their
social and recreational activities, duties and
responsibilities and the informal groups within.
 We should remember that the induction program
does not automatically mean introduction of the
employees at the meeting. It must be a well planned
program which aims to help the adjustments of the
new staff in the unfamiliar organizational
environment. You’ll know if the induction program
positively impacts the employee if it reduces the
uncertainty and frustration the employee normally
experienced upon arrival to the organization.
4. Objective of Induction Process
 Information – the process should enable every newly

44
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

hired employee, from caretaker to chief executive, to


be fully informed of the community, about duties,
relationships and responsibilities of the position,
about the characteristic of the department (policies,
procedures, purposes, personnel, customs, history)
and about the building unit to which the employee is
assigned. The induction is expected to furnished the
new employee any essential information that is
helpful for his adjustment.
 Need Satisfaction – Employee’s need for
belongingness, recognition and security should be
satisfied. The employee must feel that his job is
essential and contributes to the organizational goal.
 Position Compatibility – The induction do not ends at
the program however, extends to the probationary
period. There should be a long term effect that will
identify if the employee is compatible to the
organization. Whether he is accepted by his co-
workers or he accepts the new environment he is in.
 Assistance – it must provide technical assistance to
the new employee. It may be regarding
understanding goals of in developing attitudes and
skills, there should be plans to remove the possibility
of individual maladjustment or failure due to the non-
assistance of his immediate heads or co-worker.
 Performance – The induction process should be
able to optimize the utilization of human and material
resources in helping the new employee to reach a
satisfactory performance.
 Development – The purpose of induction process is
to satisfy employee in his current position and

45
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

increase his ability to carry out assigned tasks with


low supervision by the management. There should
be satisfaction and initiative.
 Acceptance – It is usual to the current members of
the organization to be hesitant to the new comers.
That is why one important end result of induction
process is to aid new members to blend in. Vital
information related to the job like his assignment,
title or status are well explained so that his
colleagues will not have any fear, aversion or
suspicion to the new member.
 Assimilation – Acceptance by heart and mind of the
new personnel to the system of the organization is
another end result of the induction process. The
inductee should have a positive attitude to the
system with no contradiction, to its purpose,
procedures, policies and its personnel.
 Adjustment – New employee’s difficulty in adjusting
to the system is expensive, harmful to the
satisfaction of the individual and organizational
expectations and also to the socialization process.
The sooner the employee adjusts to the habits
attitude, feelings and knowledge to the work which is
employed, the sooner the organization will benefit.
 Orientation – With or without any induction program,
orientation among new employees are necessary.
The organization must ensure that the new
employee will received the facts from the
organization firsthand. Credible information about
the organizational system conditions must be given
to new employees to avoid getting information solely

46
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

from colleagues. This is crucial since the judgment


of one individual does not represent the entire
organization.
 Retention – Long-term system objective is to retain
the all its employees in the organization as possible.
Each employee must take part in the achievement of
its goals, be effective to his assigned tasks, develop
themselves professionally, work independently and
execute innovative and spontaneous behavior.
 Security – The Induction process is focused on
minimizing difficulties that a change in membership
poses for both old and new employees. Induction
process also indicates that:
i. During the early employment period of an
employee is when turnover usually occurs
ii. Turnover of authority position oftentimes
shows hostility and resistance within the
system
iii. Change in any organization is seen as
unfavorable to the stability and relationships
within the group

Essential Knowledge
To perform the aforesaid big picture (unit learning outcomes) for the weeks 4-
5 of the course, you need to fully understand the following essential knowledge that
will be laid down in the succeeding pages. Please note that you are not limited to
refer to these resources exclusively. Thus, you are expected to utilize other books,
research articles, and other resources that are available in the university’s library,
e.g., ebrary, search.proquest.com, etc.

1. Reward System in Organization


 Every company’s reward system is designed to
attract, retain and motivates its employees. This is to
ensure that the employees provide the
organizational their optimum capabilities.
 All employed individual who renders services and
utilizes their time for the benefit of the organization,
deserves the equitable pay. The question now is
how much money each employee must receive in
lieu with the duties he or she executes.
 Different companies have different rewards system.
It is not only limited to wages and salaries but it also
includes benefit programs like fringe benefits,
insurances and paid leave. It is important to have
these benefit programs that serves as an incentive
that will later on increase productivity of its
employees.
 Employees receive income from the organization for
work rendered, but how much work constitutes, “fair
day’s work” or “equitable pay”?. There is work
measurement techniques used to be able to come
up with precise and incontrovertible results. Usually,
jobs are classified into pay classes or salary

55
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

increase is in accordance with the pay class.


1. Wage and Salary Administration
 Employee’s pay is not only about the money they
received for a job done but also about satisfaction.
Employee’s job who receives higher pay is regarded as
highly important and therefore boosts employee morale.
It is common that employees who receive low salary
objects and feel upset. It is said that wage and salary
inequities are alleged results to conflicts and low morale
of the employees.
 Imagine if the policy on wage administration is not fair
and if the way to determine pay is based on
“personalized” decisions without putting consideration
the overall wage structure.
2. Aspect of Wage and Salary Administration
 The HR department is usually the assigned personnel in
proposing a wage and salary program. The management
on the other hand reviews and approves the policies.
The following are the identified four aspects of wage and
salary administration:
i. wage and salary survey – an aspect used to
gather data as to the current general pay levels
in the community and industry the organization
belongs.
ii. job evaluation – This is an HR activity wherein
the worth or value of the job is determined.
iii. merit rating – These are incremental steps in
salary. Instead of assigning one rate for every
job, organizations usually gives increase starting
from the base salary. Employee will be granted
with increase as he gain seniority and efficiency

56
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

at work.
iv. incentives – This is a common concept in wage
and salary administration. An incentive is an
extra pay for an employee’s performance that
exceeds his normal output.
v. Determining the Overall Wage and Salary Level
– One of the most difficult decisions as top
management is to determine the over-all wage
and salary policy. It is crucial since all figures will
affect employee’s performance and motivation.
The management must come up with high,
average or below average level of pay
considering the standard of the community or
industry. That is why the following factors must
be considered at all times in lieu of wage and
salary policies:
 The wage and salary policy could either attract or make
the employee quit their jobs. It is also related to the
recruitment and selection process, if the pay is attractive,
the management has the capacity to choose from a
wider scope of exceptional applicants. However, we
must also take note that if the employee does not
somehow believe that difficult or harder work will be
rewarded with higher pay, motivation may be affected.
 Locality and employment conditions of the organization
affect its policy. It is common that if the unemployment
rate is high, a well organized non-unionized organization
can pay its employees a little more than the minimum
wage. If the labor market in the other hand is tight, the
organization might have to pay higher to attract
applicants.

57
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

 In order to gain reputation in the industry, the


organization may opt to give higher pay than other
organizations to have good public relations.
 Unions are a great deal in every organization.
Employees have the right to unionize and this would
affect wage and salary policies. Some organization due
to union is pressured to give higher pay than
organizations who do not have unions.
 Organizations have to set limit as to employees and their
salary since the profit is not infinite. Some cannot afford
to give higher pay more than the minimum.
 There are also other factors that influence wage policies.
Organizational stability as to employment do not
necessarily need to pay high wages compared to those
who have high turnover rates. If the organization also
gives fringes benefits, it is not advised to give higher
pay. Unions also affect the wage and salary policies
depending on the union’s collective bargaining
agreements.
3. Job Evaluation – This is an HR activity wherein we determine
the worth of the job. In practice, it is difficult to determine the
worth of a job. Job evaluation is usually a comparison between
internal job levels and external job levels. It is an essential
activity since the result of the evaluation will eliminate wage
inequalities and maintain consistent, fair pay structure.
However, this still involves judgment of the management
although, in a systematic way. There are a lot of methods in
determining the worth of the job, some are simple and others
are quite difficult however, the end goal is to enable
management decide how much pay should be given in a
specific job.

1. Staff Development

65
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

 Firstly, it is important to note that training and


development are two different concepts in HR
Management. Development focuses on general
decision making and human relations skills, while
training is about factual, specific and narrow-range
content. However, they both aims to enhance the
current set of skills and job performance of every
member of the organization.
 Given these definition, staff development can be best
viewed in two dimension: a) being an in-service training
programs wherein employees are given equal
opportunities by the organization to educate themselves
and prepare them for any possible future positions; b)
prepares employees to perform well their new job
assignments.
1.1 Types of Staff Development (Training)
 Training policy can be viewed as a written statement
regarding the programs created to enhance the skills of
the worker. A needs assessment must be conducted
before any training activity to gather information as to
what is the priority set of skills the employees want to
develop. The following are useful training methods:
1.1.1 In Service Course for Staff – this is a staff
development method wherein the employees are
trained and they discuss with their subordinates
and immediate heads the nature of work. If
applicable, employees attend in-service courses
which will update their knowledge and skills to be
able to upgrade their qualifications and in return
improve the condition of providing work or
service.

66
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

1.1.2 Staff Seminar – These activities are one of the


most common staff development methods that
enables employees to attend an organized
gathering to talk about specific topics related to
the job. Informative discussions by the
experienced employee together with his
subordinates on such topics do not only
contribute to their professional development but
also results to positive organizational
environment.
1.1.3 Induction Courses – This was discussed on the
previous chapters. Induction courses or process
is conducted in the introductory phase of newly
hired employee wherein they learn the
organizational system and the people in it.
1.1.4 On-the-Job Training – It’s similar to induction
courses in a sense that, it is commonly
conducted to newly hired employees. On-the-Job
training is a staff development method that
enables employee to train at the workplace while
he is doing the actual job.
1.1.5 Off-the-Job Training – This type of staff
development method is conducted outside the
workplace. Employees are taken away from their
office to attend courses in some training facilities
or classrooms.
1.1.6 On-and-Off-the-Job Training – A combination of
both on-the-job training an off-the-job training.
Employees attend classroom training and at the
same time receive practical instructions in the
working environment.

67
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

1.1.7 Vestibule Training – To reduce failure costs at


work, vestibule training is undergone by
employees who use expensive machinery or
materials. A simulated equipment that works the
same as the actual machine is where the
employee trains.
1.1.8 Refresher courses – Sometimes when
employees feel that their work is routinely done,
employees might be less satisfied. A refresher
course is done to update employees with
innovative ideas or new knowledge related to the
assigned job.
1.1.9 Conference Training – Conference training is
usually a training method that gathers hundreds
of participants. It is not that organized and it is
done through workshops. Oftentimes due to the
crowd, speakers treat their participants passively.
1.1.10 Role Playing – An active learning technique is
used in this staff development method.
Employees assume that they are into specific
scenarios in the organization and their
performance will be given feedbacks.
1.1.11 Sensitivity Training – Most of the participants in
this training are the employees who hold
executive and managerial positions.
Development of awareness on behavioral actions
of one employee to his colleagues is the goal of
this training. It is to ensure that everyone in the
workplace must be respected without putting into
consideration their positions.
1.1.12 Supplementary Training – Among all training

68
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

methods, this one is conducted by an


independent institution. Organizations may opt to
hire organizations that offer training programs.
2. Training Processes – Any training starts with identifying the
specific and measurable training objectives based on the needs
assessments. Employees who will participate will be selected, as
well as the instructors. Necessary equipments or resources must
be provided by the organization. Afterwhich, instructors may
choose as to what training method best suits the employees
basing on the training outline and the actual capacity of the
trainees. It I important to note that the training must not be
necessarily too long and instructors will do all the talking. Active
participation among trainees are encouraged.
3. Evaluation of Training – training are costly and the organization
expects return on its investment on employee’s training. It is best
determined through the following training evaluation criterias:
3.1 Participants’ Reactions or Changes in the Trainees’
Reaction – at the end of the training, an evaluation form is
distributed as a method of gathering information as to what
the participants’ overall feedback on the training.
Instructors may be difficult to deal with and understand, the
training place might be not conducive for learning or the
training session might be too long. These feedbacks are
used to improve the current training content.
3.2 Changes in the Trainee’s Knowledge – Training programs
specific goal is to enhance participant’s knowledge or skill
on a specific area. It is expected that employees will show
improvement at his or her knowledge on the job.
3.3 Changes in Job performance – Trainees are expected to
demonstrate change in job performance. This can be
measured by checking whether the employee can now

69
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

effectively handle difficult working conditions.


3.4 Changes in the Trainee’s Attitude – Another evaluation tool
is to measure if there are any changes in employee’s
behavior after the training. Comparison of trainee’s
previous sense of duty to his current behavior is measured.
Since the training itself is considered as a change agent for
the trainee’s behavior.
3.5 Organizational Performance or result – The mentioned four
evaluation tools in training are useless unless the effect on
organizational performance are determined. Since the
objective of training is to increase organizational
performance, it is essential to evaluate the overall
performance of the employees using the organizational
criteria.
4. Advantages of Training
4.1 Employees are given an opportunity to learn new things
and improve themselves on their current jobs.
4.2 Training reduces costs related to damaged or failed
machinery.
4.3 With the new skills, capabilities and knowledge of the
employees, their sense of achievement and motivation
increases.
4.4 Training also prepares employees for promotion and
makes them appreciate their work more.
4.5 Employees learn and adapts to work relationships and
major job contents.

77
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

essential knowledge that will be laid down in the succeeding pages.


Please note that you are not limited to exclusively refer to the these
resources. Thus, you are expected to utilize other books, research
articles and other resources that are available in the university’s library
e.g. ebrary, search.proquest.cometc.
1. Meaning and Scope of Transfer
 Transfer is a common HR activity that involves
movement of employees from one position to another.
When there are vacant positions, the first option is to be
filled by internal sources.
 Transfer can either be promotion or demotion.
Promotion is the movement of employee from lower
position to higher position that aims to reward employee
for an excellent performance. Meanwhile, demotion is a
movement of employee from higher position to lower
position which oftentimes done to punish employees for
any wrong actions.
 Other organizations views transfer as a means of
employee of expanding his experience and train him for
any possible executive position.
2. Conditions of Transfer
 Some transfers are neither for punishment nor reward.
Other transfers are done to separate two warring
employees to avoid direct contact. It is prevalent that
conflict exists between employees. Transfer is made to
manage misunderstanding.
 By organizational transfer, arrangements are worked
out to offer an assignment in another location or
position of an employee who causes conflict. If possible,
the management can redraw the organizational chart
where the functions of contradicting parties are

78
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

transferred. So that the line of authority or their


immediate boss will not be the same.
 When informal groups are formed in the organization,
chances are these groups hamper the achievement of
organizational goals. These are called “cliques” and are
not advised to develop. Where they exist it is essential
that members of the informal groups will be disbanded
by transferring them. So that the employee’s energy will
be directed to the organizational objective not to any
possible interest of informal groups.
 However, it is important to take note that constant
transfer among staffs and management leaders are not
healthy for the organization psychologically. Ofcourse it
does not improve motivation of employees and in result
affects performance and productivity.
 Prior to any movement of employees, the following must
be considered by the management:
i. To be able to measure the performance of
an employee before transfer, he or she must
stay on a minimum period of time. Since
movements of employee require them to
adjust on new workplace, it could hamper the
operation. Interruption in work and
production will be avoided.
ii. Employees must comprehend the purpose of
the transfer. Procedures for processing
transfer request must be established first to
aid him in adjusting to newly assigned task.
3. Reasons why Transfer are made
i. As mentioned above, some transfers are
made as a disciplinary action towards an

79
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

employee due to negative behavior.


ii. Some employees however requests transfer
or themselves due to personal reasons like
the desire to work near his home.
4. Meaning of Promotion
 Movement of employee to higher position.
Promotion is reward given to an employee who
demonstrates excellent performance. This would
also mean higher salary with increase of work
responsibilities and status in the organization.
Promotion boosts the motivation and morale of an
employee and on the other hand, lack of movement
to higher position results to demotivation, frustration
or worst – resignation.
5. Conditions of Promotion
 Prior to promotion of a candidate employee to a
vacant position, they usually undergo interviews and
exams to evaluate further if the deserve the position.
The officers or member of the management team
together with the HR personnel determines the fate
of the candidate.
 When the employee is already identified, he must
confirm the acceptance of the promotion through an
appointment contract. It is after the confirmation by
the employee after showing exemplary performance
will the movement be completed.
 Depending on the organization, the following are
some criterion commonly used for promotion of an
employee:
i. Standard qualification
ii. Seniority

80
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

iii. Competence
iv. Productivity
6. Principle of Merit Performance- Promotion is an important
task that may motivate or demotivate employees. That is
why, before promoting an employee, the following are
some notes to be taken into consideration:
i. Firstly, the work effectiveness of an employee.
Does the employee shows exemplary output
with less inputs? Do the employee masters his
work, possesses good communication skills
and can properly deal with the people around
him?
ii. The candidate participates in the
organizational activities
iii. General impression and his attitude towards
work
iv. Work experience and academic qualification
v. The management must also consider when
was the last date if promotion and his current
salary
vi. Creativeness and innovativeness
vii. Understands his responsibility and work load
well.

Big Picture in Focus: ULOb. Define Morale, Motivation and Performance in the
organization

Metalanguage
In this section, the essential terms relevant to the study of Human Resource
Management and to demonstrate ULOb was operationally defined and discussed in
the essential knowledge to establish a standard frame of reference as to how the
texts work in your chosen field or career. You will encounter these terms as we go
through the study of HR Management. Specific discussion per topic shall be
provided in the later part to help you understand more about the scope in studying
this course.

Essential Knowledge
To perform the aforesaid big picture (unit learning outcomes) for the week 6-7
of the course, you need to fully understand the following essential knowledge that
will be laid down in the succeeding pages. Please note that you are not limited to
refer to these resources exclusively. Thus, you are expected to utilize other books,
research articles, and other resources that are available in the university’s library,
e.g., ebrary, search.proquest.com, etc.
1. Morale, Motivation and Performance
 Organization may equip all employees with the
technical equipment and best science; provide all the
basic materials, equipment, facilities and good working
place. However, the problem related to management
will only be half solved.
 Employees also want to be treated fairly and their
efforts be recognized by the management. Therefore,

88
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

the goal of an improved system will be just a illusion


even if their resources provided, unless the human
need for recognition will not be satisfied.

2. Morale of Employees
 Employee morale is the overall viewpoint of employees
related to his workplace that includes outlook, attitudes,
emotions, and satisfaction level. An employee with
good morale lead to confident, satisfied and positive
employees while low morale can be observed in angry,
negative and uncaring employees.
 Morale is not concrete. It cannot be touched and
dictated. However, high or low morale can be seen
through employee behaviors. Indolence and
absenteeism is a sign of low morale among employees.
On the other hand, high morale is observed among
employees who show enthusiasm, cooperation,
dissatisfaction and promptness.
 It is suggested that the government will also deliberate
policies and took into consideration the welfare of not
only government employees but also those in the
private sector. All employees experience the same
dilemma in terms of employee morale.
3. Boosting the morale of staffs
 It is suggested that the government will also deliberate
policies and took into consideration the welfare of not
only government employees but also those in the
private sector. All employees experience the same
dilemma in terms of employee morale.
 According to an article in Forbes magazine, there are
six ways to increase employee morale and performance

89
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

without giving a raise:


i. Give them reason to believe - does your
employee believes you when you tell them that
their contribution to the organization is notable?
Management should make sure their employee
understands the organizational vision and knows
that their job contributes to that vision.
ii. Show you care - Simple actions that show that
you genuinely care will make a difference. If
possible, be involves in their personal lives to
make them feel that they are valued. Whenever
there are birthdays, send them greetings. Send
simple gifts for weddings or new babies.
iii. Recognize the good – It is a cliché but, it is
essential. Whenever an employee did a great
job, recognize their efforts. This will result to
domino of employee motivation and going
beyond the call of duty. On the other hand,
negative performance also gets feedback but in a
discrete, private and proper correction.
iv. Learn the value of fringe- it is not necessary that
the bonus that you give your employee is big or
expensive. Employees have to believe that the
value of their bonus is big enough for their
efforts.
v. Promote from within - The first option when there
are vacancy must be the employees that are
already at the organization. Management must
invest on training programs that will prepare their
potential employees for a position instead of
hiring externally.

90
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION

vi. Bring on the fun - organizations can organize


parties or fun activities that will promote social
interactions and camaraderie.

4. Staff morale and Motivation


 Motivation is the inner drive which prompts employee to
act in a certain way that is influence of a lot of factors.
 As the life-blood of all organization, human resources greatly
affects the success of the department since they are the ones
who perform specific tasks to attain the goal. Withso, retaining
the most efficient and effective staffs is a very challenging
task among HR personnel and the management.
 Therefore, motivation has great effect on employee’s
performance. When an employee is motivated, he will show
great enthusiasm and will be satisfied in the institution where
he belongs.
 Abraham Maslow formulated in 1943 the theory of needs that
aids the management in determining what drives employee
motivation. Maslow explained that motivation is an ascending
series of urges that has to be satisfied. Employees who are
dominated by the lowest group of need will remain unsatisfied
until such time that need will be filled. When that happens,
employees tend to play and active role to the organization.
The next higher need in the pyramid will therefore be pursued
by the employees. Management must know if their manpower
are motivated or not. Figure 3.
 Theorist named Frederick Taylor on the other hand said that
the working environment is the source of dissatisfaction. This
theory is called, two-factor theory that is classified into
motivational factors and hygiene factors. Mostly intangible,
motivational factors include advancement in the job, personal

Human Resource Management Program

growth, self-fulfillment and recognition. While hygiene factors


includes worker’s pay, fringe benefits or quality of supervision.

To perform the aforesaid big picture (unit learning outcomes) for


the week 6-7 of the course, you need to fully understand the following
essential knowledge that will be laid down in the succeeding pages.
Please note that you are not limited to exclusively refer to the these
resources. Thus, you are expected to utilize other books, research
articles and other resources that are available in the university’s library
e.g. ebrary, search.proquest.com etc.
1. Job Analysis and Description
i. Task - This means the specific work activity
that is done to create an output.
ii. Duty - number of tasks that are related to
performance of events
iii. Position - Means the combination of duties
and responsibilities that are performed by
one employee.
iv. Job - This refers to one or more position in
the organization that has similar duties
v. Job specification - It is a written description
of designated set of qualifications, skills or
education for the job. Stated also in the job
specification the minimum and acceptable
human qualities necessary
vi. Job Classification - grouping of jobs on
specific basis like pay or kind of work. It is
used as simplified method of job analysis.
vii. Job description - factual, organized written
summary of duties and responsibilities

DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

specific job’s responsibility and operations.


The job analysis also determines the
minimum acceptable qualifications
necessary for the job and identifies the
similarities and differences in work. Nearly
all of the function in HR management uses
the results gathered from a job analysis –
recruitment, selection, compensation,
training, development, safety and health,
discipline and so on. Example in
compensation administration, through JA
we can strategically determine the exact
pay for a job and compare similar individual
tasks across the organization. Job analysis
plays the foundation for a well written job
description and job specification.
2. Job Satisfaction and Performance
 Job satisfaction is the state, quality or level of
fulfillment an employee feels towards his job
together with the various facets of the job like
supervision, nature of work or pay. It is measured
by the employee’s effort towards the
actualization of the organizational goals. There
are a lot of researches actually on what variable
significantly influence job satisfaction.
 Job satisfaction is also seen as a measure
between need satisfaction of employees and the
organization’s performance which is seriously
influenced by the current organizational climate.
 Various theorists shared their perspective
regarding job satisfaction like Simmons (1973) a

102
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

human relations movement scholar said that the


high morale leads to increase productivity since it
is believed that a happy worker will work
productively.
 Researches proves that job satisfaction and
employee effectiveness of performance is related
with some factors that include:
i. Equitable pay
ii. On time payment of salary
iii. Attractive fringe benefits
iv. Conducive working environment
v. Good relationship between colleagues
and other member of the organization
3. Job Performance Appraisal
 The only way for us to determine the productivity
of an employee if through appraisal techniques.
He must be evaluated based on his duties and
responsibilities. Job performance appraisals are
either quantitatively or qualitatively done.
Employees are measured or monitored to
effectively reward a job well done or to detect
corrections needed for improvement.
 Performance appraisal major goal is to focus on
achieving results. A HR activity wherein an
employee’s performance during a specific period
of time is observed and evaluated on a basis of
systematic uniform performance standard.
 There are also criteria to be considered when
conducting Performance Appraisal that includes:
i. Relevance – performance scope must be
only limited to the duties and

103
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

responsibilities stipulated on the employee


job description
ii. Reliability – every employee with same
job must have the same evaluation to
make it consistent and not biased
iii. Freedom from contamination – the
evaluation tool must also be free from
indicators that are not controlled by the
employee like poor equipment or lack of
resources.
 Methods in appraising employees differ from one
organization to the other. Added to that, the most
common are annual evaluation using a
standardized form. It is when a superior or the
immediate head will evaluate their subordinates.
However, it is noted to be subjective and
oftentimes vindictive.
 Benefits of Job Performance Appraisal
i. Results of performance appraisal include
detection of weaknesses in performance
and employees will be subjected t
trainings to develop certain skills.
ii. Develop camaraderie and relationships
among staffs, to be able to understand
one another
iii. Career development through conduct of
in-service training
iv. Leads to enhanced learning opportunities

the week 8-9 of the course, you need to fully understand the following
essential knowledge that will be laid down in the succeeding pages.
Please note that you are not limited to exclusively refer to the these
resources. Thus, you are expected to utilize other books, research
articles and other resources that are available in the university’s library
e.g. ebrary, search.proquest.com etc.
1. Staff Services: Safety, Security and Health Services in
Organization
 Safety, Security and Health Services in
Organization is a vast concept that is necessary
for organizations to follow since there are laws
governing this aspect in management. In the
previous chapter, we were able to discuss
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Safety and
Security is on the third level of Human Needs.
 There are also implementing rules and
regulations governing OSH specifically, the
Philippine Republic Act No. 11058 of 2018
entitled “An Act strengthening Compliance with
Occupational Safety and Health Standards and
providing Penalties for Violations Thereof” aims
to strengthen the Health, Safety and Social
Welfare Benefits of employees under the Labor
Code of the Philippines.
2. Safety and Security Services
 Employees feel secure in a lot of ways, although
it is undeniable that many organizations do not
put weight on the importance of occupational
safety and health especially those who are not in
the industrial businesses. Employees feel secure
when they are working in an organization

112
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

wherein their basic needs are met. That is why


the organization must make sure that their
employees are paid on time without delay, and
ofcourse accurately.
 Employees also feel secure when they are
promoted. A good position in the organization
gives them extra security in terms of monetary
rewards after a promotion is granted. The
management therefore must look after the
movement of employees and take note
employees with exemplary performance.
 The management must also protect their
employees from environmental hazards in the
working environment just like danger, bodily
harm, deprivation loss of job and threat.

 Through in-service training, the management can


ensure the safety and security of the workers in
many ways. In-service training provides them an
additional educational background and it could
enhance employee’s self-esteem. The
management must make sure that deserving
employees attends in-service training and make
effort.
 As part of staff service, the organization must
provide transparent information on where the
organization is heading. Employees feel secure
when they know the management’s goals and
objectives. Employees must be guided by the
management in fulfilling their roles and
responsibilities. Some employees need a certain

113
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

form of security measures because of the tasks


they perform.

3. Health Services
 One of the major concerns of an employer is also
the mental and physical well being of their
employees. Since we also believe that health is
wealth. The distinction between health and safety
is somehow arbitrary in a sense that, “safety
means the hazards resulting in direct injuries
such as cuts, bruises, sprains, impaired hearing,
broken limbs and loss of eyesight”. While health
means the role of working environment in
producing diseases and illness.
 Employers need to ensure the good health of its
employees especially those who are working in
hazardous working environment. Periodic
examinations are mandatorily done and medical
consultations can help serve this purpose.
Another health service the management can
offer is in line with movement of employment or
transfer among employees. Employers should be
able to make recommendations regarding staff
health conditions so that those with notable
sickness that can affect performance should be
transferred to more safer workplace.
 Since the Philippines economy as of now is “not
buoyant”, there is little the administration can do
about health services. However, the passing of
the Republic Act 11058 is a manifestation that
the government starts to take leaps on ensuring

114
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

that the employees are safe in the workplace.


The World Health Organization commends this
action that will require each and every employers
to comply with the occupational safety and health
standards informing employees with the hazards
in the workplace. In this law, employees have the
every right to refuse to work in unsafe working
condition. The employers must provide protective
equipment and necessary facilities and
resources to keep employees safe.

the week 8-9 of the course, you need to fully understand the following
essential knowledge that will be laid down in the succeeding pages.
Please note that you are not limited to exclusively refer to the these
resources. Thus, you are expected to utilize other books, research
articles and other resources that are available in the university’s library
e.g. ebrary, search.proquest.com etc.

1. Staff Conduct and Discipline in Organizations


 In order to maintain a peaceful, harmonious working
environment, there should be a proper conduct among
employees. It is reasonable that stakeholders be
concerned with public expectation in line with conduct
even in different social units, may it be an institution,
government, private establishment or a religious
organization.
 But what do we actually mean when we say conduct and
discipline?. It is universally agreed that everyone in every
organization from rank-and-file employee to managers
needs to be “highly disciplined ad of good conduct” since
they all brings the organization with them.
 Conduct is a general behavior or manners of directing or
managing affairs of all staff within the organization.
Therefore, conduct will mean the good behaviour
expected of all staffs within the organization.
 Discipline like education is difficult to understand and
define. We will know an educated man when we will
meet one but to determine what makes us call him
educated is difficult. The same way with discipline. When
we met a disciplined man, what makes him the way he is
not easy to define. Is disciplined person means
conforming to all rules and norms? A person who is

122
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

compliant to all orders? To these people discipline


conjures up a picture of any army parade ground, with
soldiers responding instantly.
 The discipline is from the word ‘disciple” that means, a
follower. In an organizational concept, a rank-and-file
employee to a manager/leader. Staffs means willingness
in obedience to the immediate head, rules, regulations as
well as work behavior that is generally acceptable to the
organization.
2. Staff conduct
 Above it was defined that conduct is the general
acceptable behavior of an individual. These behaviors will
determine the manners of the individuals acts on his
activities and sense of direction.
 It may sound a cliché but, the employees are the main
factor in achievement of organizational aims, aside from
the management’s leadership. As such, the employees
are expected to be in their best behavior or conduct.
Example, employees are expected to have personal
conduct – dedication and hardwork. Wearing
professionally is another way of showing good conduct.
Employees are expected not to wear shorts or sleeves at
work instead, to dress up and tidy themselves. No
employee must come to work drunk or smoke within
office premises. Another example of good conduct is
being at work on time and not leaving work when it is not
yet time.
 All employees must be disciplined enough a such the
management should provide those conditions that are
conducive for self-discipline on the part of the employee,
let them be informed the requisites of their job as well as

123
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

the conditions which relate to their employment.


 It cannot be avoided that sometimes employees exhibits
unusual behavior that is below expectation. Withso, the
management has the right to impose any disciplinary
measures if needed. Very common example of which are
absenteeism, tardiness, late submission of reports,
inefficient discharge of duties and responsibilities or
abandonment of work and all other actions that constitute
signs of indiscipline.
 Example of serious misconduct that requires disciplinary
actions are falsification of documents, coming at work
drunk or converting company properties to personal use.
It is the responsibility of the management to take actions,
setting as to where and when if necessary.
 Although there are many possible approaches in dealing
with employee misconduct that are friendlier in manner
like, informal discussion, interview, query and others.
However, these informal talks serve as counseling and
helps employee more. Added to that, the immediate head
can make advices and make employers more concerned
to their employees. Employees are expected to be more
loyal, patient, enthusiastic, honest, resourceful and
creative in their work.
3. Professional Conduct – This refers to behavior and conduct of
an employee towards his profession. They are expected to
understand well the principles of the job, master what they do
since this will give them positive attitude towards work.
4. Staff discipline
 When genuine efforts are made, it is not difficult to
maintain discipline among employees. Especially when
your employees are professionally trained, they already

124
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

understand the value of discipline and respect even


before they are hired in the position. Dynamic leadership
and the recognition of individual differences are the basis
of approach to individual’s problems.
 The management can be assured of the cooperation and
adherence from almost all of the employees. We should
always remember that self discipline is not externally
influenced or imposed. It is not based on any fear,
employees displays courtesy, respect, consideration,
honesty, professionalism, good speech and punctuality.
 Employees are expected to cooperate in the organization
in pursuit of maintaining and following rules, work hard
and behave well under favorable conditions. The
management should adopt and maintain this sense of
respect for every employees.
 There might be instances that an employee refused to be
corrected or to change a behavior that is not acceptable.
The management can give oral warning to show that
actions will be done and serious step will be taken when
employees misconducts.

i. Positive approaches stresses that employee


discipline should not be a separate area in

and endeavor to pursue positive reinforcement

In a Nutshell

Based from the definition of the most essential terms in the study of
human resource management exercises that you have done, please feel free
to write your arguments or lessons learned below. I have indicated my
arguments or lessons learned.
1. The management who imposes discipline must also be
disciplined enough and has self-control.
2. Sometimes, the essence of discipline is over-emphasized. We
must not forget that the purpose of these models are to mould
employees’ character through their own conduct.

Professional Conduct Staff Discipline

Big Picture in Focus: ULOc. Discover the importance of Organizational Culture and
Personnel Commitment

Metalanguage

In this section, the essential terms relevant to the study of Human Resource
Management and to demonstrate ULOc was operationally defined and discussed in
the essential knowledge to establish a standard frame of reference as to how the
texts work in your chosen field or career. You will encounter these terms as we go
through the study of Human Resource Management. Specific discussion per topic
shall be provided in the later part to help you understand more about the scope in
studying this course.
Please proceed immediately to the “Essential Knowledge” part
since the first lesson is also definition of essential terms.

Essential Knowledge
To perform the aforesaid big picture (unit learning outcomes) for
the week 8-9 of the course, you need to fully understand the following
essential knowledge that will be laid down in the succeeding pages.
Please note that you are not limited to exclusively refer to the these
resources. Thus, you are expected to utilize other books, research
articles and other resources that are available in the university’s library
e.g. ebrary, search.proquest.com etc.
1. What is an organization?
 The organization is the group of people who, with
consciously coordinated efforts, pursue and

133
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

contribute to the attainment of a common purpose.


 For Elton Mayo and his associates in Fleishman
and Bass (1974), organizations are viewed as
social and economic systems. The organization can
only succeed when the leader is able to create a
good human relationship. We believe that effective
administration of any organization built on Mayo’s
submission of good human relationship as a
precondition to organizational success.
 Therefore, it can be viewed that the organization is
seen as a group of people brought together under
“able” leadership toward accomplishing common
goals. The success of any organization depends to
a very large extent on the interpersonal relationship
existing in that specific organization. Successful
leaders establish with his subordinates a good
inter-personal relationship.
2. Organizational Culture
 Organizational culture or commonly coined as
organizational climate can be referred to as the
prevailing quality and style of how people empathize
with one another. It is the prevailing person-to-
person atmosphere in the organization as sensed by
people outside and inside the organization.
 When employees talk about organizational climate,
they are referring to how managers, employees,
administrators and other staff feel about the existing
relationship between members of the organization
with regard of the following:

i. The level of friendship among the members

134
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

of the employees;
ii. The relationship between the managers
and the employees;
iii. The level of cooperation between the
management leadership and the
employees;
iv. The ways regulations and rules are applied
and obeyed.
 Organizational climate can be classified as either
favorable or unfavorable. In almost all organizations,
it is sad to note that organizational climate is
unhealthy. The atmosphere is charged, employees
suffer in silence and refuse to share their work, and
constant outbursts are present. These sample
situations are often caused by the use of
inappropriate leadership styles.
 Other leaders rely on use of force to get
cooperation of his employees to do their task or
respect and obey him. However, force is known to
most likely result in damaged and negative
relationship, which in turn, will tend to work against
the effectiveness of the organization.
 It is important for the management to know that a
healthy organizational climate is not a work of an
individual but, of the group. The following are
included the functions for a healthy organizational
climate:
i. Where ideas and feelings can be openly
expressed
ii. Ideas are assessed on its own merit rather
than on the basis of who offers it

135
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

iii. The employees work together as a whole


rather than as small groups
iv. Respect with individual personality which is
reflected through professional behavior
v. enthusiasm for working is sensed in the
workplace

 Stakeholders usually consider the organizational


climate they are related with. Since they can sense
unfavorable, unhealthy climate. If the department
head is arrogant to his employees, the employees in
turn will be unhelpful and disrespectful. The
stakeholders who will keep coming in the
organization will know this unhealthy climate. On the
other hand, if they find the atmosphere healthy,
where cooperation, humility and calmness is among
employees, the stakeholders will appreciate the
organization more.
 The leaders have also a great role in maintaining
organizational climate. The following are example of
ways a manager can help improve the climate:
i. Leaders must have positive attitudes, values
and behavior to work with his employees
ii. Applying appropriate leadership style in
every decision making
iii. Imposing organizational rules fairly
iv. Showing respect for human dignity
v. Promoting originality and creativity among
the employees
3. Personnel Commitment to work in organization
 The concept of personnel commitment to work

136
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

simply means the total sacrifice that personnel have


to make to ensure the attainment of the
organization’s basic objectives.
 It means personal investment since it entails loyalty
to the organization of the subordinates and their
willingness to make efforts towards positive
realization of the basic objectives.
 Personnel commitment to work is formed in terms of
individual experience and social context. Meaning,
the behavior of the staff to his work depends on the
nature of an individual; how he is as a person, the
nature of the work, reward system, how he relates
with colleagues and the general atmosphere in and
outside the organization.
 Personnel commitment to work is a predisposition of
the staff to perceive, evaluate and act in a particular
way to the tasks assigned to them within and outside
organization, which is relatively enduring.
Commitment to work is made up of elements
namely, feelings (like or dislike), beliefs and values
(of truth and falsehood) good and bad, and a
predisposition to act.
 Organizations can’t be effective unless subordinates
are committed to their work under the leader which
makes policies clear and assigns work schedules to
staff after the group has democratically approved of
the schedule.
 The best organization is described by the following
factors: personnel’s high commitment to his work, an
organization which is resultant from consideration of
their leader’s personal need satisfaction. Therefore,

137
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

the effectiveness of the organization also depends


on employee’s level of commitment and the role the
leader is having. When the employee know that they
are heard and needs satisfied by their leaders, this
will result to positive commitment to work.
 As discussed on previous chapters, when
employees are motivated, there will be expected
change on their attitudes towards work. Since happy
staffs will always be committed and it depends on
three basic factors namely, the employee itself, the
job and organization.
 However, there are existing problems that are not
controlled by the organization that greatly affects the
commitment of work. Examples of which are family
issues, nature of the community he belongs, the
influences of existing social groups, employee’s
location of home and experiences also has
significant effects. Commitment also by employees
evolves from the motivation given by the
management and its leaders who shows them care
and satisfying their needs.
 Employees also look for challenges in the
organization when he wanted to commit to work and
overcomes it. Some employees also finds
colleagues who are committed, too “colonial” and
submissive to rules and regulations.
 That is why, to properly compensate employees who
dedicated so much in their work, they should be
given with proper promotion and opportunities for
growth, train them for future possible opportunities.
4. Organizational effectiveness - The following theorists

138
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

described Organizational effectiveness as follows:


 Herbert (1976) said that organizational effectiveness
is the overall achievement of results by the
organization which might be achieved by an
increase in the effort for production, threats,
incentive system, and so on.
 Elbing (1978) sates that the organizational
effectiveness is the capacity to survive, adapt,
maintain itself and grow despite of the function it
fulfills.
 To elaborate those definition mentioned above,
organizational effectiveness is gained when
leadership insists on being both people centered
and output centered. That is why, organizations
need to adopt and accomplish organizational tasks
with sense of competence.
 There are three groups on which legitimate
leadership are based:
i. Leader-oriented where leaders takes
the decision making alone and no
delegation of authority and little
orientation to rules and regulation
ii. Patriarchal leadership is where
decisions and commands are bound
by standard.
iii. Bureaucracy rules and regulations
exists and decisions are shared to
everyone in the organization.
 Leadership is a dynamic interaction between leaders
and each of his subordinates. It varies on the quality
of routine application of policy and practices to an

139
DEPARTMENT OFBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION
Human Resource Management Program
Contact: +63995587040/+639107045559

active sharing of the leadership role with the


subordinates finishing the group’s conditions that
allow subordinated to choose courses of action that
will reach their goals and those of the organization.
 It is the duty of the management leaders to create a
conducive climate that will make his subordinates
behave positively, as the success of the organization
depends on how employees behave.
 Now, what does influences the behavior of
employees to the organizational demand?
Organization cooperating under favorable climate is
most likely to have members acting alike in the
matter that prevail in the organization. Although
behavior is influenced by the environment is partly of
a person’s own making. By heir actions, people play
a role in forming the social setting and other
circumstances that arise in their daily transactions.
 As long as employees remain their membership
within an organization, they have similar status even
if their behavior may differ. They need arises of
employees who are competent to be appointed to
head of the organization. The behavior of employees
and the process by which they interact with each
other are the means which the goals are attained.
Behavior and interaction are the same means by
which potential energy and motivation are converted
into results.
 In summary, we can conclude that the more
consistent the behavior as well as interactions are
with organization’s goal, the more efficient the
organization is when it comes to job performance.

The idea of managing an organization is the idea of


managing and guiding human behavior.
