BOOK REVIEW
Human Resource Management: Local and Global Perspectives
This book, authored by Dr. Melva M. Diamante and Dr. Genevieve Ledesma-Tan, is a good guide to those who want to enhance their knowledge in human resource management. It is intended for students of Human Resource Management (HRM) and HR practitioners who are always in search of effective techniques and contemporary trends in human resource management. Managers and supervisors will also find it useful because it will show them how they can tap their human resource departments whenever they need assistance in handling people management issues. The 16 chapters focus on some key points of interest such as Organization Development and Change Management, Globalization, Human Resource Information Technology as a Tool for Efficiency and Effectiveness, Research Findings in HR Management, Legal Basis for Employee/Labor-Management Relations, Cases, and HR Forms.
An Educational Institutional Culture Manual
Institutional culture is the sum total of assumptions, beliefs, attitudes and behaviors that an institution or organization’s members share, profess and act out. An institution defines its own measures of excellence and success, and builds its own culture to support its vision, goals and standards. To ensure an alignment between articulated values, norms and actual behaviors of people in the institution, Dr. Genevieve Ledesma Tan with Dr. Benito L. Teehankee, and a number of faculty and management people from Southville International School and Colleges (SISC) wrote this Institutional Culture Manual as applied at SISC, an ISO 9001:2000 certified academic institution, recognized by the Department of Education as a “School of the Future,” and internationally accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, U.S.A.. This manual on institutional culture building can serve as a good reference for educational institutions that are in the process of culture building, rebuilding, or transformation.
The Management Function of Organizing Applied to the School Setting
This simplified manual is a must for today’s school administrators who need to re-think how their academic institutions are organized. The challenge of organizational re-engineering is ably covered from the basics of management’s organizing function, to the advance topics of team building. The cultural context of schools and universities, especially on developing school organizational charts, is a distinct feature of this manual. This manual is a fruit of author Ruel Montenegro’s collaboration with schools and universities in the endeavor of making educational institutions globally-competitive.
Job Ranking and Salary Schemes for Schools and Colleges
No other topic in human resource development and management comes close in relevance and urgency as that of job ranking and salary scheme evaluation. Indeed, an organization’s success and future hinges on how it values the human resources it employs. AASHPI has come up with a comprehensive evaluation and compensation scheme that may serve as a well-founded template for organizations to come up with their own.
Focused Interview Selection Technology for School Administrators, Officers, Faculty, Staff
“People make or break organizations” as the president of the Asian Institute of Management aptly states in the book’s foreword. Finding and hiring the right people that would positively contribute towards organizational effectiveness is the ultimate goal of a focused interview. Critical job success factors are emphasized as measurement of a job candidate’s suitability within an organization.
Institutional Productivity and School Quality Through Key Result Areas and Rubrics
Organizations are continuously pressured to be productive and achieve quality standards due to globalization. With this manual, Key Result Areas are introduced to provide targets to aim for while Rubrics measure how far along has an organization achieved its identified Key Result Areas. Institutional culture, vision-missions, and other subjective priorities are tied-in to KRA aspects as well as to facilitate organizational relevance in competitiveness.
WPS – An Effective Tool for Organizational Efficiency
The Weekly Planning Schedule (WPS) speaks for efficient time management and effective work execution. This book is an actual manifestation of the WPS that work. The authors, Dr. Genevieve Ledesma-Tan and Dr. Marl V. Ferenal together with the other contributors Dr. Remedios D. Lagera, Marjorie G. Tangog and Ma. Theresita R. Yague, believe that “people should manage time and not time managing them.” This WPS book provides guidance for quality management and models for quality execution of institutional goals. It presents a readable and concise discussion of the WPS as a monitoring device, communication tool, and performance yardstick towards an institution's highest possible accomplishment. The book covers the main problems in achieving an execution culture, and introduces the latest tools and techniques in bridging the gap between expectations and performance.
