0. Which of the following is not the quality of human resources in any organization?
- Option : B
- Explanation : An organisation is made up of four resources, i.e., men, money, material and machines. Of them the first one is the living resource and the other three are non-living i.e., non-human resource. It is the human resource, formerly termed as ‘manpower’ that make use of nonhuman resources. Hence, people are the most significant resources for any organisation. Human resource are heterogeneous in the sense that they differ in personality, perception, devotions, values, attitudes, motives , mode of thoughts and social background also. Their behaviour to stimuli is often inconsistent and unpredictable. Therefore, motivational tools also vary accordingly. For example, while increase in salary may satisfy one psychological needs, recognition may satisfy the esteem needs. While other resources depreciate, human resource appreciate with the passage of time. Given the highly competitive and complex business environment, attracting and retaining the qualified and competent employees have become a real challenge of the day for the managers. The ‘rule of thmb’ has become obsolete and redundant. The need of the new perspective is to have right people for right jobs that offers “competitive advantage” for “core competency” to the organisation to survive and thrive in the competitive business environment.
