Practical application of selected theoretical knowledge in human resources management

Abstract. The main objective of human resources management is to achieve success and competitive advantage on the grounds of an integrated set of cultural and personnel procedures. It presupposes a team of competent and trustworthy people who will perceive their activities in a team as their personal mission. It is required from them to act effectively in all issues related to their employees. A precondition of such a conceptual activity creating is the existence of adequate organisational documents like organisational strategy and individual functional strategies. It is at the same time assumed that human resources specialists are familiar with the content of works carried out in their organisations. Information on individual works and preconditions of their execution have to be collected on the grounds of complex work analysis, creating a basis for job diagnosis, and finally, for personnel decision-making. Creation of a labour potential which would be a guarantee of effective performance of the tasks resulting from company’s goals is impossible without an efficient management system. To build such a system of human resources management means to identify a present state, as well as to predict, search and solve possible problems.
