About the Book

Managing Human Resources in New Zealand, 2nd Edition, is a thorough research-based introductory text with an organisational psychology slant. The text has been significantly revised in response to major employment reform in New Zealand and the increasing importance of contemporary issues such as e-recruitment, occupational health and safety and career management. It continues to provide a heightened appreciation of how the discipline is practiced through an increased number of case studies and practitioner profiles, presenting human resource management as an interrelated management function that many non-specialist managers carry out in addition to their specified responsibilities. The text offers a fresh, contemporary perspective on the issues facing human resource management in New Zealand, and promotes an analytical, problem-solving approach to HRM challenges rather than presenting prescriptive solutions. Importantly, it also integrates the ‘HR best practices’ and ‘contingency HR’ approaches (something most HR texts fail to achieve).
