ABSTRACT
In the previous chapters we developed a frame of reference and described measures that enable practical, proactive HRM to deal with the turbulent, dynamic changes in the global economy. We have drawn a picture of workers as whole persons accommodating to the purposes, goals, and objectives of a work organization to get work done. We have shown that the overall work-doing system consists of three components, each with its own intrinsic dynamic—worker growth for the workers, productivity for the work organization, and efficiency and effectiveness for the work—and that these components are mutually complementary and dependent on one another to achieve the most beneficial results. In the long run, the work of an organization is effectively accomplished and attains optimum productivity (and hence profitability) when the workers are satisfied with their growth as persons from the standpoint of income, skill, and security.
