The paper attempts to present a case for an approach to Human Resources Management (HRM) which is based on aligning HRM policies, programs and practices to the strategy of the organization served, its culture, its external and internal environment and its technology of production and on aligning the different elements of HRM programs and practices to each other, using the “best fit” principle. ...

The importance of human resources management (HRM) to the success or failure of health system performance has, until recently, been generally overlooked. In recent years it has been increasingly recognised that getting HR policy and management "right" has to be at the core of any sustainable solution to health system performance. In comparison to the evidence base on health care reform-related ...

a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t This review takes an evolutionary and chronological perspective on the development of strategic human resource management (SHRM) literature. We divide this body of work into seven themes that reflect the directions and trends researchers have taken over approximately thirty years of research. During this time the field took shape, developed rich conceptual ...

This paper examined the relationship between HRM practices and organiza-tional culture in private sector organizations operating in India. Organizational culture hasdeveloped in the Indian environment along with global work values. This study is based ona survey of 95 respondents working in two private sector organizations. Although the HRMpractices in these organizations differ...

Through an analysis of the relationship between human resource management (HRM) systems and strategy types, predictions are made about a simultaneous horizontal and vertical fit. In a conceptual model for strategic HRM the key argument is, that the fit between firm strategy and HRM strategy is determined by (matching hypothesis) task characteristics of the strategy type and internally, consiste...

BACKGROUND/AIMS The purpose of this study was to develop new parameters of high-resolution manometry (HRM) and to applicate these to quantify the effect of bolus volume and texture on pharyngeal swallowing. METHODS Ten healthy subjects prospectively swallowed dry, thin fluid 2 mL, thin fluid 5 mL, thin fluid 10 mL, and drinking twice to compare effects of bolus volume. To compare effect of te...

High-resolution melting (HRM) allows single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) detection/typing using inexpensive generic heteroduplex-detecting double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) binding dyes. Until recently HRM has been a post-PCR process. With the LightCycler 480 System, however, the entire mutation screening process, including post-PCR analysis, can be performed using a single instrument. HRM assays we...

In the present scenario, the work environment is undergoing a major shift factors such as globalisation, growing economies and improved technology are constantly presenting new challenges for business. Human Resource is the most important asset for any organization and is the source of achieving competitive advantage. For the accomplishment of organization objective, Human resource has become t...

BACKGROUND/AIM Sensitive and cost-effective detection of point mutations is important in genetics research. Denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) is known to be one of the most sensitive techniques for point mutation detection. A more recent technique, high-resolution melting (HRM), is based on the melting behavior of PCR products. In this study, the efficiency and sensitivi...

High resolution melting (HRM) analysis is gaining prominence as a method for discriminating DNA sequence variants. Its advantage is that it is performed in a real-time PCR device, and the PCR amplification and HRM analysis are closed tube, and effectively single step. We have developed an HRM-based method for Staphylococcus aureus genotyping. Eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were de...
