REVIEW OF LITERATURE:
The terms of human resource management (HRM) and human resources (HR) have largely replaced instead of personnel management (PM) in the processes of managing people in the organizations. While human resource management is defined as a strategic and coherent approach for the organization‘s most valued assets behind on the workers, there is no upon description of it. Personnel department is mostly to manage the paperwork around hiring and paying people. More recently, organizations consider the HR department as playing a major role in staffing, training and helping to manage people so that people and the organization are performing at maximum capability in a highly fulfilling manner (McNamara, 2008). In the global business, HRM is increasingly considered a contemporary development to reshape employment relationships as a tool that may have effectively replaced other management traditions like Personnel Management (PM) and Industrial Relations (IR) (Marchington & Wilkinson, 2002). Scope of HRM: As HRM has tools of a system which attracts, develops, motivates, and retains the effective functioning related with the people managing, the scope of HRM is very wide. Researches in behavioral sciences show that new trends in managing workers and advances in the field of training have expanded the scope of HR function in

- Personnel aspect: This is concerned with manpower planning, recruitment, selection, placement, transfer, promotion, training and development, lay off and retrenchment, remuneration, incentives, productivity, etc.
- Welfare aspect: It deals with working conditions and amenities such as canteens, creches, rest and lunch rooms, housing, transport, medical assistance, education, health and safety, recreation facilities, etc.
- Industrial relations aspect: This covers union-management relations, joint consultation, collective bargaining, grievance and disciplinary procedures, settlement of disputes, etc.
Affecting Factors on HRM: Traditionally, the personnel function centered on control and direction of employees for achievement of predetermined goals. The Human Resources Approach, in direct contrast to this, recognizes the worth of human being in the realization of corporate goals. It takes a supportive and developmental route to achieve results through the cooperative efforts of employees. When opportunities for growth and enhancement of skills are available, people will be stimulated to give their best, leading to greater job satisfaction and organizational effectiveness. The manager‘s role, too, has undergone a dramatic change over the years. From control and direction of employees, he is expected to move toward clarifying goals and paths and creating a supportive and growth oriented environment, where people are willing to take up assigned roles willingly and enthusiastically (Kumar, 2009). The effective use of people is the most critical factor in the successful accomplishment of corporate goals. To be effective, therefore, Human Resource managers need to understand the needs, aspirations, and concerns of employees proactively, face the challenges head-on and resolve issues amicably. They are expected to successfully evolve an appropriate corporate culture, take a strategic approach to the acquisition, motivation and development of human resources and introduce programs that reflect and support the core values of the organization and its people. Human Resource Management Functions: In general, human resources management aims to increase contributions of employees in organizations. Those contributions are new ideas, productively working and success. Human resources management should be responsible for social aims. This means human resources managers should behave fairly to social ethical norms and at the same also responsible for organizations this it can be guessable from the concept. Their aims firstly establish fairly and higher standards of working places for every worker. Relationship between Organizational Effectiveness and Human Resources Management: Most of the early reviews of the literature were published by notable industrial psychologists as cited in Ferris (et al., 1999). As a consequence, these reviews tended to emphasize applied individual-level issues, such as employee testing, training and motivation. Acquaah (2004) states that human resource management practices enhance organizational effectiveness and performance by attracting, identifying, and retaining employees with knowledge, skills, and abilities, and getting them to behave in a manner that will support the mission and objectives of the organization. Thus, the effectiveness of HRM practices depends on how it engenders the appropriate attitudes and behaviors in employees, in addition to its implementation. An organization needs to adopt specific HR policies and practices for different strategies. Thus, to be effective, an organization‘s HR policies must be consistent with other aspects of the organization. By having appropriate HR policies and practices in place, organizations can elicit employee behaviors that are consistent with an organization‘s strategy (Rose & Kumar, 2006). It is obvious that HR management practices should be an important part of the strategy of any large corporation. Yet researchers basing their views on a behavioral psychology perspective have argued that human resource management practices could contribute to competitive advantage as long as they reinforce the skills, attitudes and behaviors that result in lowering costs and enhancing product differentiation. Therefore, the important role of human resources practices in contributing to a firm‘s competitive advantage overlaps with the concept of efficiency as a human resources strategy for effective performance (Ozcelik & Ferman, 2006).
CONCLUSION:
Corporations are undergoing dramatic changes with significant implications for how human resources are managed and the HR function is best organized and managed. The forces driving change include the rapid deployment of information technology, globalization of the economy, and the increasingly competitive dynamic business environments that corporations face. There is a growing consensus that effective human capital is critical to an organization's
