PXGM 6107 HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN EDUCATION 3 CREDITS

Synopsis

Among professional educators engaged in the delivery of educational services, the role of the human
resource administrator is unique. The work of schools, in contrast to many enterprises is labor intensive –
accomplished primarily by people. As a consequence, the administration of human resources is at the heart of
the process of managing public schools, universities, and other educational agencies. The focus of this course is
an examination of the long-range strategy of human resource management which seeks to help school systems,
universities, and other educational agencies attract, retain and develop the kinds of personnel needed to
achieve the overall goals of such organizations. This is accomplished through the human resource/personnel
functions of forecasting manpower needs, recruitment, selection, induction, appraisal, development,
compensation, security, negotiations and information.
