Abstract. Human Resource Management of enterprise is a systematic engineering. In actual work,

the Non-Human Resources department undertakes execution function of Human Resource
Management to a certain extent. Therefore, clearing responsibilities of Human Resources
Management for Non-Human Resources manager, and strengthening training for Non-Human
Resources manager, have become one of the important ways to improve and raise the level of
Human Resource Management. First, this paper puts forward the problem. Second, the author
investigates duties of Human Resources Management for Non-Human Resources manager by
questionnaire investigation and literature analysis. Last, this paper defines responsibilities of
Human Resources Management for Non-Human Resources manager.

Raise a question
First, it is emphasized that Non-Human Resources department is referred to other departments in
addition to Human Resources department in the enterprise, and Non-Human Resources manager is
referred to other department manager in addition to Human Resources manager in the enterprise in
this article.
According to the views of system theory, Human Resources Management in the enterprise is a
systematic project, and all departments should participate. In fact, in an enterprise, department
manager is the direct manager of the employees, and his management level affects directly
enthusiasm and performance of the employees. Before, we think generally that Human Resource
Management is related to Human Resources department, not related to other department. In fact, a
lot of specific work of Human Resource Management is organized and implemented by
Non-Human Resources department. That is to say, no matter what which department managers,
their work will involve staff selection, training, evaluation, compensation, rewards and punishments,
etc. As you see, Human Resource Management is not only the job of Human Resources department,
but also related to all the managers in the enterprise. Human Resources Management is deemed to
the responsibilities of each manager in the enterprise.

In addition, we also investigated about daily incentive ways by Human Resources manager and
whether to need to plan personnel demand of this department.

mainly: praise and admire the employee timely; take care for the staff; stimulate by bonuses;
stimulate by job goal; arrange the challenging tasks; train and guide your subordinates; concern
about the growth of the employees, etc. These incentive ways are chose by the proportion of more
than 50 percent.

managers of 76.2 percent agree. Therefore, it is one of responsibilities that Non-Human Resource
managers should assume.

Literature review
About responsibilities of Human Resources Management for Non-Human Resources manager,
domestic scholars have done some research, but research result is few. At present, there are a lot of
related training course, but related research don't rise to the theoretical level, and it can’t be added
to Human Resources Management theory system. The following is some viewpoint of domestic
scholars.
Chen Rihua thinks that Non-Human Resources manager should undertake responsibilities of
Human Resources Management in talent selection, talent cultivation, effectively motivate
subordinates, team building, employee relationship management, proper authorization, etc.
Zhao Lin thinks that Non-Human Resources department should cooperate with the Human
Resources department in recruitment, selection, training, assessment, etc. At the same time, it
respects the professionalism rules of human resources department of the company, and is
responsible for the department and employees, cultivates employees' loyalty to the organization, etc.
Xiong Kan proposes specific duties of Non-Human Resources manager from clearing positioning
of the departments, personnel allocation, organization optimization, selection, motivation,
evaluation, training, elimination, communication and collaboration, and so on.
To sum up, responsibilities of Human Resources Management for Non-Human Resources
manager are mainly concentrated in job analysis, Human Resources planning, recruitment and
selection, training, evaluation, motivation, team building, etc. Therefore, we think that Non-Human
Resources manager will also play a role of Human Resources manager in the practical work of the
department.
