COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course deals with the totality of concern with human resources of an
organization. This concern consists of the act of selecting new employees and utilizing the
earlier employed to gain the maximum of quantity and quality in output and services from
the workforce.
Thus, the course would take into consideration the entire spectrum of an
organization’s interaction with its human resources from recruitment activity to
retirement process.
The approach of this course is from macro perspective (national) instead of micro

class discussions. This being so, it would be well if students of this course imagine
themselves as personnel administrators.
