摘要
Any enterprise now is a significant part of the world economy both in terms of trade and employment. The performance of a business organisation is in part dependent on the capability of its human resource （HR）. The knowledge and experience of employees is a source of competitive advantage, however, whether this is realised or not may depend on having the right HR policies. Managers therefore seek to implement best practice, and in multinationals there is the potential for intra-organizational learning across national boundaries. The human being is the most important element in the development process and its ultimate goal. Attention to the management of human affairs and the effort to make man an effective contributing member in the development plans within organizations, is the responsibility of those working in the field of human resources management （HRM） which has become a distinguished field of management worldwide and plays an important role especially in the developing countries. This study discussed personnel management to HRM and how HRM functions.
