LITERATURE REVIEW
An overview:
Retraining the labor force to match the demands
of a modern economy is an important task
throughout the shift process from a centrally
planned to a market economy (Lechner &
Michael ,1995).
The organizations which give emphasis on
efficient human resource practices will enhance
the performance of the firm. (Jackson et al.
1989; Pfeffer 1994; Schuler and MacMillan,
1984 as cited by Hiltrop, 1996)


CONT
As Human Resource management is evolved
both as a managerial skill and as an
academic discipline, it is more stressed that it
should be viewed as behavioral practice
(Jackson et al. 1989; Pfeffer 1994; Schuler &
MacMillan 1984).
Porter (1985) views human resources as an
important building block of the organizations
value chain in creating competitive
advantage.
