We begin by evaluating a range of theoretical perspectives on work and employment. The emphasis will be on comparing different conceptual perspectives on the employment relationship. Theories will be draw from economicsm sociology, critical management studies, cross cultural management and industrial relations. We then undertake a critique of the major HR activities - from the organisational entry of employees to (voluntary) exit. Students will examine a variety of theories that predict organisational choices and employee reactions. We will review both quantitative and qualitative research to empirically assess the impact of HR activities on employees and organisations.
