Branches of Management
• Human resource management
• Project management
• Operations management
• Strategic management
Human resource management
• Human resource management is both an
academic theory and a business practice. It is
based on the notion that employees are firstly
human, and secondly should not be treated as a
basic business resource.
• HRM is also seen as an understanding of the
human aspect of a company and its strategic
importance.
• HRM is seen as moving on from a simple
"personnel" approach (or was supposed to)
because it is preventative of potential problems,
and secondly it should be a major aspect of the
company philosophy, in which all managers and
employees are champions of HRM-based policies
and philosophy
Functional Approach to HRM
• From a functional perspective, a staff function;
with the aim of helping other functional
managers to apply and utilize the most
important production factor, human
resources, as effectively as possible within the
organization.
• The people in an organization or company
essentially determine how successfully the
other means of production will be applied.
Strategic management
• is that set of managerial decisions and actions
that determines the long-run performance of
a corporation. It includes environmental
scanning, strategy formulation, strategy
implementation and evaluation and control.
Project management
• is organizing and managing resources in such
a way that these resources deliver all the
required work to complete a project within
defined scope, time, and cost constraints .
Operations management
• This aspect takes control of day to day
activities and processes of production
Development of the Theory of Management
• FW Taylor(1911) defined it as a science
• Behaviourists(1930s) called it a complex mix
of psychology, sociology, human relations
among other views
• In the previous century, the professional
manager was not yet visible
Schools of Thought on Management
• Classical School(1910-1950)
• Contemporary School(1960s to present)
Classical Approach
• Scientific school
• Management process school
• Behavioural school
• Quantitative school
• Systems approach
• Contingency approach
Scientific school
• FW Taylor(1856-1915)- believed that a
scientific approach such as job observation,
job analysis, job measurement, job redesigns
and financial incentives would make jobs
more productive
Management process school
Henri Fayol(1841-1925) -was the originator, he
identified six functions of a business and these are:
• Technical(production/operations)
• Commercial(purchasing and marketing)
• Financial(accounting)
• Security function(protection of property)
• General management
Behavioural School/HR
Elton Mayo(1880-1949)-reacted to the failure of
the scientific and classical schools to provide
adequate human studies in management
He believed in the role of relationships and
physical factors such as motivation,
communication, power relations, interactions
and organisational designs as core to the
management process
Quantitative School
• The school emphasises mathematical models
and processes in management
• They believe that if management is a logical
process, it should develop models for effective
processes, now this school is helping to
operate large complex management matrixes
Systems Approach
• 1950s theory-management sees the
organisation as a relationship of systems
affected by a business environment
• The business is a whole made up of separate
but functional parts
Contingency Approach
• It tries to link all approaches, arguing that the
best management approach is dictated by the
environment
• It does not believe in universal solutions to
management, it rather believes that the
situation dictates the approach
Contemporary Schools
• Strategic Management
• Total Quality Management
• Re-Engineering Approaches
• Diversity Management approach
Strategic Approach
• 1960s-1970s -evolved in the second half of the
last century
• The post second world wars,the emergence of
Japan and the 1960s Depressions gave rise to
this approach
• SWOT systems -analysing threats and
opportunities became a common approach to
management
Total Quality Management
• A 1980s-1990s approach-the emergence of
German and Japanese products raised issues
of Quality because the two powers had better
quality and higher rates of productivity than
American producers
Re-Engineering Approaches
• This gave a space for learning and mistakes in
organisations
• The approach believes that business can focus
on their core business and also outsource non
core activities to relieve pressure of
performance
• This helped the core of company business to
remain the primary concern
Diversity Management
• The emergency of new cultural and Equality
issues of gender have advocated for a diversity
management approach in businesses
• Employment Equity Acts, BEE, AA,
• This has brought a new revolution in
management including comparative analysis
of diversity across the world (Cronje et al
2004,Business Management)
LEADERSHIP
• A complex element of Management
• Defined as ‘the influencing and directing of
the behaviour of subordinates in such a way
that they willingly strive to accomplish the
goals and objectives of the business

Demerits of stress management
Stress can be a motivator. For example, if you’re stressed out
because you have a big assignment due, this may motivate you to
work on it and complete it. The stress can help you to put in your
very best effort. If you're afraid of losing your job, stress may
encourage you to raise your own standards and make improvements
you most likely would not have made without the threat of
unemployment.
Stress is a disadvantage because it can potentially raise your heart
rate and weaken your immune system. Also, it can be a factor in poor
decision making because under stress we may not think logically or
consider the consequences of the choices we make.
While we all experience stress frequently in our daily lives, not
everyone handles it in positive ways. The key for us all is to learn
what strategies and behaviors help us to cope with stress in a positive
manner.

problems, rapid heartbeat, muscle aches or body pain.
 (B) Chronic Stress
This type of stress is the most serious of all the 3 stress types. Chronic
stress is a prolonged stress that exists for weeks, months, or even years. This
stress is due to poverty, broken or stressed families and marriages, chronic
illness and successive failures in life. People suffering from this type of
stress get used to it and may even not realize that they are under chronic
stress. It is very harmful to their health.

The cost of ignoring stress
• Work-related stress can result in high levels of
employee turnover.
• Employees experiencing stress are more likely
to make poor decisions and casual errors.
• Workplace relations and customer service may
deteriorate
• STRESS HAS PROVEN TO BE FATAL
• STRESS CAUSES AGING
THE INDIVIDUAL
Everyone is different, with unique perceptions
of, and reactions to, events. There is no single
level of stress that is optimal for all people.
Some are more sensitive owing to experiences
in childhood, the influence of teachers,
parents and religion etc.
Most of the stress we experience is self-
generated. How we perceive life - whether an
event makes us feel threatened or stimulated,
encouraged or discouraged, happy or sad -
depends to a large extent on how we perceive
ourselves.
Self-generated stress is something of a
paradox, because so many people think of
external causes when they are upset.
Recognising that we create most of our own
upsets is an important first step towards
coping with them.
The Stress Response
1930’s
Dr. Hans Selye Dr. Walter Cannon
‘ Flight or Fight Response’
Endocrine System
Stress response controlled by the Endocrine
System.
Demands on the physical or mental systems of
the body result in hormone secretion
(Adrenaline, testosterone)
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM RESPONSES
• Increased pupil dilatation
• Perspiration
• Increased heart rate and blood pressure
• Rapid breathing
• Muscle tenseness
• Increased mental alertness
GENERAL ADAPTATION SYNDROME
• Alarm response
• Adaptation
• Exhaustion
ALARM RESPONSE
This is the “ Fight or Flight” response that
prepares the body for immediate action.
ADAPTATION PHASE
If the source persists, the body prepares for
long-term protection, secreting hormones
to increase blood sugar levels. This phase is
common and not necessarily harmful, but
must include periods of relaxation and rest
to counterbalance the stress response.
Fatigue, concentration lapses, irritability
and lethargy result as the stress turns
negative.
EXHAUSTION
In chronic stress situations, sufferers enter the
exhaustion phase: emotional, physical and
mental resources suffer heavily, the body
experiences ‘ adrenal exhaustion’ leading to
decreased stress tolerance, progressive
mental and physical exhaustion, illness and
collapse.

Re-framing
Re-framing is a technique to change the way
you look at things in order to feel better about
them.

situation so pick the one you like.
• Re-framing does not change the external
reality, but helps you view things in a different
light and less stressfully.
Positive Thinking

failure

suggestion so focus on positives;

  • 46. Functional Approach to HRM • From a functional perspective, a staff function; with the aim of helping other functional managers to apply and utilize the most important production factor, human resources, as effectively as possible within the organization. • The people in an organization or company essentially determine how successfully the other means of production will be applied.

  • 52. Classical Approach • Scientific school • Management process school • Behavioural school • Quantitative school • Systems approach • Contingency approach

  • 55. Behavioural School/HR Elton Mayo(1880-1949)-reacted to the failure of the scientific and classical schools to provide adequate human studies in management He believed in the role of relationships and physical factors such as motivation, communication, power relations, interactions and organisational designs as core to the management process
  • 56. Quantitative School • The school emphasises mathematical models and processes in management • They believe that if management is a logical process, it should develop models for effective processes, now this school is helping to operate large complex management matrixes
  • 57. Systems Approach • 1950s theory-management sees the organisation as a relationship of systems affected by a business environment • The business is a whole made up of separate but functional parts
  • 58. Contingency Approach • It tries to link all approaches, arguing that the best management approach is dictated by the environment • It does not believe in universal solutions to management, it rather believes that the situation dictates the approach
  • 59. Contemporary Schools • Strategic Management • Total Quality Management • Re-Engineering Approaches • Diversity Management approach
  • 60. Strategic Approach • 1960s-1970s -evolved in the second half of the last century • The post second world wars,the emergence of Japan and the 1960s Depressions gave rise to this approach • SWOT systems -analysing threats and opportunities became a common approach to management
  • 61. Total Quality Management • A 1980s-1990s approach-the emergence of German and Japanese products raised issues of Quality because the two powers had better quality and higher rates of productivity than American producers
  • 62. Re-Engineering Approaches • This gave a space for learning and mistakes in organisations • The approach believes that business can focus on their core business and also outsource non core activities to relieve pressure of performance • This helped the core of company business to remain the primary concern
  • 63. Diversity Management • The emergency of new cultural and Equality issues of gender have advocated for a diversity management approach in businesses • Employment Equity Acts, BEE, AA, • This has brought a new revolution in management including comparative analysis of diversity across the world (Cronje et al 2004,Business Management)

  • 154. Demerits of stress management Stress can be a motivator. For example, if you’re stressed out because you have a big assignment due, this may motivate you to work on it and complete it. The stress can help you to put in your very best effort. If you're afraid of losing your job, stress may encourage you to raise your own standards and make improvements you most likely would not have made without the threat of unemployment. Stress is a disadvantage because it can potentially raise your heart rate and weaken your immune system. Also, it can be a factor in poor decision making because under stress we may not think logically or consider the consequences of the choices we make. While we all experience stress frequently in our daily lives, not everyone handles it in positive ways. The key for us all is to learn what strategies and behaviors help us to cope with stress in a positive manner.
  • 156. Types of Stress management (A) Acute Stress Acute stress is usually for short time and may be due to work pressure, meeting deadlines pressure or minor accident, over exertion, increased physical activity, searching something but you misplaced it, or similar things. Symptoms of this type of tension are headaches, back pain, stomach problems, rapid heartbeat, muscle aches or body pain.  (B) Chronic Stress This type of stress is the most serious of all the 3 stress types. Chronic stress is a prolonged stress that exists for weeks, months, or even years. This stress is due to poverty, broken or stressed families and marriages, chronic illness and successive failures in life. People suffering from this type of stress get used to it and may even not realize that they are under chronic stress. It is very harmful to their health.
  • 157. TYPES OF STRESSORS • External • Internal
  • 158. EXTERNAL STRESSORS • Physical Environment • Social Interaction • Organisational • Major Life Events • Daily Hassles
  • 159. PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT • Noise • Bright Lights • Heat • Confined Spaces
  • 160. SOCIAL INTERACTION • Rudeness • Bossiness • Aggressiveness by others • Bullying
  • 162. MAJOR LIFE EVENTS • Birth • Death • Lost job • Promotion • Marital status change
  • 163. DAILY HASSLES • Commuting • Misplaced keys • Mechanical breakdowns
  • 164. INTERNAL STRESSORS • Lifestyle choices • Negative self - talk • Mind traps • Personality traits
  • 165. LIFESTYLE CHOICES • Caffeine • Lack of sleep • Overloaded schedule
  • 166. NEGATIVE SELF - TALK • Pessimistic thinking • Self criticism • Over analysing
  • 167. MIND TRAPS • Unrealistic expectations • Taking things personally • All or nothing thinking • Exaggeration • Rigid thinking
  • 169. TYPES OF STRESS • Negative stress • Positive stress
  • 170.
  • 171. NEGATIVE STRESS It is a contributory factor in minor conditions, such as headaches, digestive problems, skin complaints, insomnia and ulcers. Excessive, prolonged and unrelieved stress can have a harmful effect on mental, physical and spiritual health.
  • 172. Negative Stress Results Loss of motivation Reduces effectiveness Physical, mental, and behavioral problems
  • 173. POSITIVE STRESS Stress can also have a positive effect, spurring motivation and awareness, providing the stimulation to cope with challenging situations. Stress also provides the sense of urgency and alertness needed for survival when confronting threatening situations.
  • 175. The cost of ignoring stress • Work-related stress can result in high levels of employee turnover. • Employees experiencing stress are more likely to make poor decisions and casual errors. • Workplace relations and customer service may deteriorate • STRESS HAS PROVEN TO BE FATAL • STRESS CAUSES AGING
  • 176. THE INDIVIDUAL Everyone is different, with unique perceptions of, and reactions to, events. There is no single level of stress that is optimal for all people. Some are more sensitive owing to experiences in childhood, the influence of teachers, parents and religion etc.
  • 177. Most of the stress we experience is self- generated. How we perceive life - whether an event makes us feel threatened or stimulated, encouraged or discouraged, happy or sad - depends to a large extent on how we perceive ourselves.
  • 178. Self-generated stress is something of a paradox, because so many people think of external causes when they are upset. Recognising that we create most of our own upsets is an important first step towards coping with them.
  • 179. The Stress Response 1930’s Dr. Hans Selye Dr. Walter Cannon ‘ Flight or Fight Response’
  • 180. Endocrine System Stress response controlled by the Endocrine System. Demands on the physical or mental systems of the body result in hormone secretion (Adrenaline, testosterone)
  • 181. ENDOCRINE SYSTEM RESPONSES • Increased pupil dilatation • Perspiration • Increased heart rate and blood pressure • Rapid breathing • Muscle tenseness • Increased mental alertness
  • 182. GENERAL ADAPTATION SYNDROME • Alarm response • Adaptation • Exhaustion
  • 183. ALARM RESPONSE This is the “ Fight or Flight” response that prepares the body for immediate action.
  • 184. ADAPTATION PHASE If the source persists, the body prepares for long-term protection, secreting hormones to increase blood sugar levels. This phase is common and not necessarily harmful, but must include periods of relaxation and rest to counterbalance the stress response. Fatigue, concentration lapses, irritability and lethargy result as the stress turns negative.
  • 185. EXHAUSTION In chronic stress situations, sufferers enter the exhaustion phase: emotional, physical and mental resources suffer heavily, the body experiences ‘ adrenal exhaustion’ leading to decreased stress tolerance, progressive mental and physical exhaustion, illness and collapse.

  • 192. • Digestive disorders • Ulcers • Skin complaints - psoriasis • Headaches and migraines • Pre-menstrual syndrome • Depression
  • 193. COSTS OF STRESS 80% of all modern diseases have their origins in stress. In the UK, 40 million working days per year are lost directly from stress - related illness. Costs in absenteeism to British industry is estimated at £1.5 billion pounds per year.
