The diversity of HRM

Many HRM models exist, and practices within different 

organizations are diverse, often only corresponding 

to the conceptual version of HRM in a few respects.

Reservations about HRM

On the face of it, the concept of HRM has much to 

offer, at least to management. But reservations have 

been expressed about it. There may be something in 

these criticisms, but the fact remains that as a 

description of people management activities in 

organizations HRM is here to stay, even if it is applied 

diversely or only used as a label to describe 

traditional personnel management practices.
