4. What is staffing?
According to Dyck and Neubert
(202), Staffing is the Human
Resource function of identifying,
attracting, hiring, and retaining
people with the necessary
qualifications to fill the
responsibilities of current and future
jobs in the organization.
5. MANAGERIAL and NON-
MANAGERIAL INVENTORY
There is a need to use Inventory Charts.
1. SUCCESSION/REPLACEMENT CHART.
2. GENERAL ORGANIZATION CHART
6. MANAGERIAL
INVENTORY
Inventory Charts.
1. SUCCESSION/REPLACEMENT CHART.
This chart is similar to the general organization chart used by the
company but limited to managerial positions and the names of potential
successors (promotable, satisfactory but not promotable, dismissed,
etc.)
7. NON-MANAGERIAL
INVENTORY
Inventory Charts.
2. GENERAL ORGANIZATION CHART
to identify vacant job positions that need to be filled or by direct reports
from department/unit heads or supervisors. Managers need not make
detailed succession planning, as these job positions are less sensitive.
9. checking the internal environment of the organization for human
resources

15. EXTERNAL
RECRUITMENT
⢠In external recruitment, outside sources
are considered in the process of locating
potential individuals who might want to
join the organization and encouraging
them to apply for actual or anticipated job
vacancies.
⢠Can be UNSOLICITED or REFERRALS
from Employment agencies/schools
16. INTERNAL
RECRUITMENT
⢠filling job vacancies can be done
through promotions or transfer of
employees who are already part of the
organization.
19. Methods of External
Recruitment
Internet recruiting
â independent job boards on the
Web are commonly used by job
seekers and recruiters to gather
and disseminate job opening
information.
20. Methods of External
Recruitment
Employee referrals
â are recommendations from the
organizationâs present employees
who usually refer friends and
relatives who they think are
qualified for the job.
21. Methods of External
Recruitment
Executive search firms
â also known as âhead huntersâ help
employers find the right person for
a job. Such firms seek out
candidates with qualifications that
match the requirements of the job
openings that their client company
hopes to fill.
22. Methods of External
Recruitment
Educational institutions
â good sources of young applicants or new
graduates who have formal training but with
very little work experience. For technical and
managerial positions, schools may refer
some of their alumni who may have the
necessary qualifications needed for the said
job positions.
23. Methods of External
Recruitment
Professional associations
â may offer placement services to their
members who seek employment.
Employers may make use of the
listings that they publish in their
journals regarding members who are
available for possible recruitment or
hiring.
25. Methods of External
Recruitment
Public and private
employment agencies
â may also be good sources of
applicants for different types of job
vacancies for they usually offer free
service while private oneâs charge
fees from both the job applicant and
the employers soliciting referrals from
them.
26. INTERNAL
RECRUITMENT
⢠Most managers prefer to follow a policy of
filling job openings through promotions and
transfer.
⢠In this way, they lessen the chances of
losing the organizationâs top performers.
⢠Recruitments may be done by using
company bulletin boards, company
newsletters and recommendations from
department or unit heads, among others.
27. Advantages of External
Recruitment
1. Advertising and recruiting through the Internet reach a larger
number of possible applicants, thus, increasing the possibility of
being able to recruit applicants suited for the job.
2. Applicants who submit applications and resumes through their own
initiative are believed to be better potential employees because they are
serious about getting the job.
3. Employee referrals from outside sources are believed to be high-
quality applicants because employees are generally hesitant to
recommend persons who are not qualified for job openings.
28. Advantages of External
Recruitment
4. Executive search firms usually refer highly qualified
applicants from outside sources because they try to check
applicantsâ qualifications before recommending them to client
firms who pay for their services.
5. Educational institutions know the capabilities and
qualifications of their graduates, hence, increasing the
chances of their ability to refer qualified applicants to
potential employers. High-quality
29. Disadvantages of External
Recruitment
1. The cost and time required by external recruitment are the
typical disadvantages of suing this recruitment method.
Advertising job openings and the orientation and training of
newly hired employees from outside sources, as well as
sorting out large volumes of solicited or unsolicited job
applications present challenges in budgeting time and
money.
30. Disadvantages of External
Recruitment
2. Another disadvantage of external recruitment is the
possibility of practicing bias or entertaining self-serving
motives in the referral of friends and relatives by current
employees and in the recommendation of private
employment agencies of job applicants.
31. Advantages of Internal
Recruitment
1. Less expenses are required for internal recruitment advertising;
newsletters, bulletin boards, and other forms of internal communication may
disseminate information to current employees interested in applying for job
openings within the company.
2. Training and orientation of newly promoted or transferred current
employees are less expensive and do not take too much time since they
are already familiar with company policies.
3. The process of recruitment and selection is faster because the candidate
for transfer or promotion is already part of the organization.
32. Disadvantages of Internal
Recruitment
1. The number of applicants to choose from is limited.
2. Favoritism may influence a manager to recommend a
current employee for promotion to a higher position.
3. It may result in jealousy among other employees who were
not considered for the position. Some may also accuse the
management of bias for choosing an employee who is
perceived to be less qualified for the job opening.
34. Establishing the selection criteria â Selecting human resources
in an organization requires an understanding of the nature and
purpose of the job position that has to be filled.
Requesting applicants to complete the application form â
Application forms must be completed because these provide
the needed information about the applicant.
Screening by listing applicants who seem to meet the set
criteria â This involves the preparation of a shortlist of
applicants who meet the minimum requirements of the job
position to be filled.

35. Screening interview to identify more promising applicants â
Here, a shortlist of applicants is prepared. Included in the list
are applicants who will be asked to undergo formal interview by the
supervisor/manager; and applicants who are deemed to be most fitted
for the job opening to this shorter list.
Interview by the supervisor/manager or panel interviewers â
Through formal interviews of the most promising applicants,
other characteristics of the applicants may be revealed or ob
served by the supervisor/manager or panel interviews.

36. Verifying information provided by the applicant â
To make sure that the applicant has not given false
information about himself or herself, verification is necessary.
Requesting the applicant to undergo psychological and
physical examination â Having a healthy mind and a healthy
body is important for good job performance.
Informing the applicant that he or she has been chosen for the position
applied for â Informing the applicant may be done verbally or in
writing by the managers who give the final decision regarding the
companyâs rules and regulations for hiring an applicant must be
given in this step.

39. Training needs assessment
Training needs assessment must be
done systematically in order to
ascertain if there really is a need for
training.
40. ď§ Organization Analyses include the analyses of effects of downsizing,
branching out conflicts with rival companies, and others that may
require training or retraining of employees.
⢠Task analysis involves, for example, checking job requirements to find
out if all these are being done to meet company goals. If not this may
be a go-signal to train or retrain personnel.
⢠Person analysis determines who among the employees needs training or
retraining. This is to avoid spending on the training of employees who
no longer need it. For example, a department manager pirated from a
rival company to occupy a vacancy in one of the organizationâs
departments in the same capacity (department manager) may not
need managerial skills training anymore.
43. Compensation/Wage and Performance Evaluation
Compensation/wages and performance evaluation
are related to each other because the employeesâ
excellent or poor performance also determines the
compensation given to them, after considering
other internal and external factors like the actual
worth of the job, compensation strategy of the
organization, conditions of the labor market, cost
of living and area wage rates among others.
44. Types of Compensation
Direct Compensation â include workersâ salaries, incentive
pays, bonuses and commissions.
Indirect Compensation â includes benefits given by
employers other than financial remunerations; for example:
travel, educational and health benefits and others.
Nonfinancial Compensation â includes recognition
programs, being assigned to do rewarding jobs or enjoying
management support, ideal work environment and
convenient work hours.
45. Connecting Compensation to Organizational Objectives
Worker compensation/wages have tremendously changed in the 21st
century due to increased market competition (both local and global),
required skills from workers, and changes in technology, among
others. Along with these, organizationsâ pay philosophies have also
changed. Instead of paying employees based mainly on their job
positions or titles, they are now given pay according to their individual
competencies or according to how much they could contribute or have
contributed to their companyâs success. Wage experts now prepare
compensation packages that create value for both the organization and
its employees.
46. Compensation as a Motivational Factor for
Employees
Compensation pay presents a reward that an employee receives for
good performance that contributes to the companyâs success. In
relation to this, the following must be considered:
Pay Equity â related to fairness; the Equity Theory is a motivation
theory focusing on employeesâ response to the pay that they receive
and the feeling that they receive less or more that they deserve.
Expectancy Theory â another theory of motivation which
predicts that employees are motivated to work well because of
the attractiveness of the rewards or benefits that they may
possibly receive from a job assignment.
47. Bases for Compensation
Piecework basis â when pay is computed according to the
number of units produced.
Hourly basis â when pay is computed according to the
number of work hours rendered.
Daily basis â when pay is computed according to the number
of work days rendered.
Weekly basis â when pay is computed according to the
number of work weeks rendered.
Monthly basis - when pay is computed according to the
number of work months rendered.
48. Purpose of Performance Evaluation
o Administrative Purposes â These are fulfilled through
appraisal/evaluation programs that provide information that may be
used as basis for compensation decisions, promotions, transfers and
termination.
o Developmental Purposes â These are fulfilled through
appraisal/evaluation programs that provide information about
employeesâ performance and their strengths and weaknesses that may
be used as basis for identifying their training and development needs.
49. Performance Appraisal Method
Trait methods â performance evaluation method designed to find
out if the employee possess important work characteristics such as
conscientiousness, creativity, emotional stability and others.
Graphic rating scales â performance appraisal method where each
characteristic to be evaluated is represented by a scale on which the
evaluator or rater indicates the degree to which an employee posse
that characteristic
Forced-choice method- performance evaluation that requires the
rater to choose from tow statements purposely designed to
distinguish between positive or negative performance; for example:
works seriously âworks fast; shows leadership â has initiative.
50. Performance Appraisal Method
Behaviorally anchored rating scare (BARS) â a
behavioral approach to performance appraisal that
includes five to ten vertical scales, one for each important
strategy for doing the job and numbered according to its
importance.
Behavior observation scale (BOS) â a behavioral
approach to performance appraisal that measure the
frequency of observed behavior.
51. Why do some evaluation programs fail?
âŚinadequate orientation of the evaluates
regarding the objectives of the program;
âŚincomplete cooperation of the evaluates;
âŚbias exhibited evaluators;
âŚinadequate time for answering the
evaluation forms.
52. Employee Relations
⢠Employee relations apply to all phases of work activities in
organizations, and managers, to be effective, must be able to
encourage good employee relations among all human
resources under his or her care.
53. THREE TYPES OF EMPLOYEES
1. ENGAGED â Employees who work with passion and feel a
deep connection with their company, they drive innovation
and move the organization forward.
2. NOT ENGAGED â Employees who are essentially âchecked
outâ, they put time, but not energy or passion into their work.
3. ACTIVELY DISENGAGED â Employees who are not only
unhappy at work, but also act out their unhappiness, they
undermine what their engaged coworkers accomplish.
54. REWARDS SYSTEM
Organization offer competitive rewards systems to attract knowledgeable and skilled people and to
keep them motivated and satisfied once they are employed in their firm.
Monetary reward- rewards which pertain to money, finance or currency.
a. pay/salary â financial remuneration given in exchange for work performance that will
help the organization attain its goals; examples, weekly, monthly, or hourly pay,
piecework compensation, etc.
b. benefits â indirect forms of compensation given to employees/workers for the
purpose of improving the quality of their work and personal lives; health care benefits,
retirement benefits, educational benefits, and others are examples of these.
c. incentives â rewards that are based upon a pay-for-performance philosophy; it
establishes a baseline performance level that employees or groups of employees must
reach in order to be given such reward r payment; examples: bonuses, merit pay, sales
incentives etc.
d. executive pay â a compensation package for executives of organizations which
consists of five components: basic salary, bonuses, stock plans, benefits and
perquisites.
55. REWARDS SYSTEM
e. stock option â are plans that grant employees the right to buy a specific
number of shares of the organizationâs stock at a guaranteed price during a
selected period of time.
Nonmonetary reward â rewards which do not pertain to money, finance or
currency; refer to intrinsic, rewards that are self-granted and which have a
positive psychological effect the employee who receives them.
a. award â nonmonetary reward that may be given to individual employees or
groups/teams for meritorious service or outstanding performance; trophies,
medals or certificates of recognition may be given instead of cash or extrinsic

Editor's Notes
The number of managerial personnel or non-managerial human resources needed by an organization depends upon the size and complexity of its operations, its plan for branching out or increasing products and turnover rates of both types of human resources, among others. Besides considering their number, the qualifications for the individual positions must be identified, so that the best-suited individuals for the job positions may be selected for hiring.
Awareness of the management potential within an organization can be accomplished with the use of an inventory chart, also called management succession/replacement chart. This chart is similar to the general organization chart used by the company but limited to managerial positions and the names of potential successors (promotable, satisfactory but not promotable, dismissed etc.) Recruitment by external means may follow if there are no qualified successors.
The need for non-managerial human resources may be ascertained by the use of a general organization chart to identify vacant job positions that need to be filled or by direct reports from department/unit heads or supervisors. Mangers need not make detailed succession planning, as these job positions are less sensitive. Suggestion for internal replacements or successors for vacant non-managerial positions are usually done as the need arises. External recruitment also follows if no one within the organization is fitted for the job position that was declared vacant.
Present and future needs for managers and other human resources are affected by both external and internal forces. External forces include economic, technological, social, political and legal factors. For example, economic progress in a particular country may bring about increased needs and wants among people, resulting, in turn, in increased demand for certain products, followed by the expansion of the company and its workforce, as well as increase or a decrease in demand for managers and other human resources.
The firmâs goal and objectives, technology, the types of work that have to be done, salary scales and the kinds of people employed by the company are among the internal factors or forces that affect staffing. For example: salary scales offered by a company may not be high enough to attract personnel who are really qualified for the job. Also, this may encourage fast managerial and labor turnover.
In the event of a job opening, administrators must be careful when recruiting and choosing who to bring into the organization. They must see to it that their new recruit processes the knowledge and skills needed to be successful in helping their company achieve their set goals and objectives and the he/she is suited for the job position and the job design.
In the event of a job opening, administrators must be careful when recruiting and choosing who to bring into the organization. They must see to it that their new recruit processes the knowledge and skills needed to be successful in helping their company achieve their set goals and objectives and the he/she is suited for the job position and the job design.
Recruitment may either be external or internal. In external recruitment, outside sources are considered in the process of locating potential individuals who might want to join the organization and encouraging them to apply for actual or anticipated job vacancies. Unsolicited applications and referrals from employment agencies and schools are examples of sources outside the company from which management could select and applicant who best fits the job opening.
In internal recruitment, filling job vacancies can be done through promotions or transfer of employees who are already part of the organization. In other words, recruitment is within the organization.
In many companies, selection is continuous because of fast turnover, resulting in vacancies that have to be filled. Another reason for this is the review of applicants on the waiting list. The selection process typically includes the following steps.
1. Establishing the selection criteria â Selecting human resources in an organization requires understanding of the nature and purpose of the job position which has to be filled. Job design must be based on the objective analysis of position requirements and must meet both organizational and individual needs. Skills must also be considered depending on the job position and its position in the organizational hierarchy.
2. Requesting applicants to complete the application form â Application forms must be completed because these provide the needed information about the applicant. Management will find it easier to decide whether an applicant meets the minimum requirements for experience, education, etc., if the application forms are accurately filled out by the applicant.
3. Screening by listing applicants who seem to meet the set criteria â This involves the preparation of a shortlist of applicants who meet the minimum requirements of the job position to be filled. It is done to avoid wasting of time by conducting interviews who do not meet the set criteria for the job opening.
4. Screening interview to identify more promising applicants â Here, a shortlist of applicants is prepared. Included in the list are applicants who will be asked to undergo formal interview by the supervisor/manager; applicants who are deemed to be most fitted for the job opening to this shorter list.
5. Interview by the supervisor/manager or panel interviewers âThrough formal interview of the most promising applicants, other characteristics of the applicants may be revealed or observed by the supervisor/manager or panel interviews. Such characteristics include the applicantâs self-confidence, positive or negative self-esteem, honesty, ability to relate well with others, and positive or negative life experiences which may affect his or her job performance, among others, Interviewers must have trained so that they will know what to look for.
6. Verifying information provided by the applicant â To make sure that the applicant has not given false information about himself or herself, verification is necessary. Background checking must also be done to avoid the hiring of applicants with criminal record and to ascertain that he or she has good moral character.
7. Requesting the applicant to undergo psychological and physical examination â Having a healthy mind and a healthy body is important for good job performance. Hence, applicants must be requested to undergo psychological and physical examinations prior to hiring.
8. Informing the applicant that he or she has been chosen for the position applied for â Informing the applicant may be done verbally or in writing by the managers who give the final decision regarding the companyâs rules and regulations for hiring an applicant must be given in this step.
Interviews are important in determining the qualifications of an applicant and gauging his or her ability to perform a job. Interviews may come in different forms.
TYPES OF JOB INTERVIEWS
Structured Interview â the interviewer asks the applicant to answer a set of prepared questions âsituational, job knowledge, job simulation, and worker requirements questions
Unstructured Interview â The interviewer has no interview guide and may ask questions freely.
One-on-one interview- one interviewer is assigned to interview the applicant.
Panel interview â several interviewers or a panel interviewer may conduct the interview of applicants; three to five interviewers take turns in asking questions.
Similarly, there are different kinds of employment tests administered to measure or test and applicantâs specific skill of capacity.
Types of employment test are 1. intelligence test, 2. proficiency and aptitude tests, 3. personality tests, 4. vocational tests.
The number of managerial personnel or non-managerial human resources needed by an organization depends upon the size and complexity of its operations, its plan for branching out or increasing products and turnover rates of both types of human resources, among others. Besides considering their number, the qualifications for the individual positions must be identified, so that the best-suited individuals for the job positions may be selected for hiring.
Employees generally feel that their pay must be commensurate to the effort exerted in the performance of their job. In other words, pay equity is achieved when the pay given to them by their employers is equal to the value of the job performed; thus, this motivates them to perform well and to do their jobs to the best of their abilities.
