- Inhoud
In the course Human Resource Management students develop a general understanding of how human resource decisions contribute to individual, team, and organizational effectiveness, and to a firm’s sustained competitive advantage. This knowledge can be applied in small, medium, and large firms, as well as non-profits. The course covers topics such as:
- The historical background of HRM,
- HR roles,
- Strategic HRM (SHRM),
- Job analysis and competency modeling,
- Recruitment and employer branding,
- Personnel selection and assessment,
- Performance appraisal and management,
- Training and development,
- Compensation and benefits,
- Careers,
- Employee well-being.
The course approaches the management of human resources from a strategic perspective. The strategic perspective describes how each of the basic HR functions has its own part within the overall strategic plan of the organization and contributes to organizational performance. The course further takes an evidence-based approach to HRM which aims to help students in developing critical judgment in making decisions that impact the well-being and performance of organizations and employees.

(!) In accordance with the supplementary faculty regulations to article 8§3 of the Teaching and Examination Regulations, the examination in the first examination session for all students only takes place in the additional examination block, organized in the two weeks following the spring break.
Evaluation 1st session:
- Written examination. The written examination accounts for 90% of the total grade. The exam tests students' knowledge and understanding about the course material (syllabus). The exam consists of multiple-choice questions. "Standard setting" will be applied to compensate for questions students answer correctly by guessing. When applying standard setting, students will not lose points if they answer a multiple-choice question wrongly but must answer more than the traditional 50% of questions correctly to pass the exam. Depending on the number of students, the catch-up exam may take a different format (e.g., written exam with open-ended questions).
- Individual paper. The individual paper accounts for 10% of the total grade. Students must write an individual paper reflecting on their own knowledge, skills, abilities (and other characteristics) based on the results of various self-assessments. They do this from the point of view of employer and employee. If the paper is not submitted or is submitted after the due date, the grade for this component will be zero.
Evaluation 2nd session:
- Written examination. The written examination accounts for 90% of the total grade. The exam tests students' knowledge and understanding about the course material (syllabus). The exam consists of multiple-choice questions. "Standard setting" will be applied to compensate for questions students answer correctly by guessing. When applying standard setting, students will not lose points if they answer a multiple-choice question wrongly but must answer more than the traditional 50% of questions correctly to pass the exam. Depending on the number of students, the catch-up exam may take a different format (e.g., written exam with open-ended questions).
- Individual paper. The grade from the first session is carried over to the second session. There is no possibility of retaking the assignment.
