“The Management of HR” is a very important and challenging job because of the dynamic nature of the people. No two persons are similar in mental abilities, traditions, sentiments, and behavior. People are responsive; they feel they think and act. Therefore, they cannot be operated like a machine or material. They, therefore, need tactful handling. Before directly entering into the concept of HRM, let’s examine the concepts of “Human Resources” and “Management” separately.
