No two people are similar in their abilities, behaviors, sentiments, etc. They differ widely also as a group and are subject to many varied influences.

So, that their personalities are recognized as valuable human beings. HRM is involved in every business, managerial activity.
- 4. BRIEF CONCEPTUAL BACKGROUND HR emerged as a specific field in early 20th century, influenced by FW Taylor(1856-1915). Taylor explored what he termed “Scientific Management” striving to improve economic efficiency in manufacturing jobs. He eventually focused on principal inputs into manufacturing process, labour, sparking inquiry into workforce productivity. Meanwhile, in England, CS Myers, inspired by unexpected problems among soldiers which had alarmed generals and politicians in First World war of 1914- 1918, co-founded the National Institute of Industrial Psychology (NIIP) in1921. In doing so, he set seeds for human relations movement. This movement, on both sides of Atlantic, built on the research of Elton Mayo (1880-1949) and others to document through the Hawthorne studies (1924-1932) and other studies how stimuli, unrelated to financial compensation and working conditions, could yield more productive workers.
- 5. BRIEF CONCEPTUAL BACKGROUND Work by Abraham Maslow (1908-1970), Kurt Lewin (1890- 1947), Max Weber (1864-1920), Frederick Herzberg (1923- 2000), and David McClelland (1917-1998), forming the basis for studies in industrial and organizational psychology, organizational behavior and organizational theory, was interpreted in such a way as to further claims of legitimacy for an applied discipline.
