Shared Activity Unit 1: OrganisationalBehaviours and HRM

You may not be a human resources manager, but you will likely participate in human resource processes in your daily management of people and organisations. Understanding the relationship between organisational behaviour concepts HRM approaches is important for all managers. The influences of this relationship reach from individual employees to the organisation as a whole. Although there are differences between a staff manager and a human resource manager, both must apply and enforce human resource processes for an organisation to run efficiently and effectively. In this Shared Activity, you will analyse the relationship between organisational behaviour and HRM from staff manager and human resource manager perspectives.

To prepare for this Shared Activity:

  • Review the Unit Introduction and the Learning Resources, including the Human Resource/Organisational Behaviour Matrix.
  • Think about the relationship between organisational behaviour concepts and human resource processes. Consider additional relationships not identified in the matrix.
  • Consider the roles of the human resource manager and the staff manager. How may their perspectives on Organisational Behaviour (OB) and Human Resource (HR) processes differ?

To complete this Shared Activity:

  • Post an entry from the perspective of a manager (who is not a human resources professional but supervises one or more employees) and address the following points:

Explain the strategic relationship between organisational behaviour concepts and human resource processes.

Select one organisational behaviour concept and explain how to operationalise it through an additional human resource process other than the one(s) it is linked to in the matrix. Explain how this new relationship might affect organisations, managers and employees.

Please be as creative as you would like and post your entry for group discussion.

  • Respond to your peers' posts from the perspective of a human resources professional by providing additional ways the new relationship might affect organisations, managers and/or employees.
  • Support your Shared Activity with current academic literature beyond your Learning Resources.

Participate in this Shared Activity only during the period of this unit to ensure that you and your colleagues can keep track of one another's postings and maintain a focused, collaborative discussion. Review the Syllabus and Shared Activities Rubric for information on how your contributions to the Shared Activities will be graded in this module. In each unit, you will receive feedback from your Faculty Member on your participation in the Shared Activities, focusing on your contributions to the learning community. In Unit 6, your Faculty Member will provide final feedback and a final grade on your Shared Activity contribution throughout the module.

Individual Assignment Unit 1 : Strategic HRM Approaches

The role of Human Resources (HR) has evolved in the past 30 years from reactive to proactive. Instead of waiting for an issue to occur, many HR departments attempt to identify probable issues and their symptoms. Then, they consider the following questions:

  • How did we get here?
  • Where do we go from here?
  • How do we get to there (Lussier and Hendon, 2013)?

By being more proactive, HR departments are able to take the appropriate steps to analyse the symptoms, propose solutions and create a strategy before an issue begins.

Your Final Project in this module will allow you to develop a set of HRM recommendations for an assigned scenario organisation. The organisation is facing an upcoming transition, and you are hired to develop a HRM Consultancy Report to address HR issues during the upcoming change. The goal of your report is to analyse the organisation in your scenario critically in order to identify potential people management challenges, propose solutions and evaluate proposed recommendations for implementation.

Each of the Individual Assignments in this module will focus on a portion of your HRM Consultancy Report. Then, in Unit 6, you will submit the Final Project using Individual Assignments to complete your analysis and make your recommendations to the organisation.

In this Individual Assignment, you will focus on your scenario organisation's upcoming transition. You will analyse relevant HR processes and OB concepts that may arise in the scenario.
