All industries operate in a specific
environment which keeps changing and the firms in the business need to
understand it to dynamically adjust their actions for best results. Like
minded firms get together to form associations in order to protect their

gives exposure on the Telecom Environment in India and also dwells on
the role of international bodies in standardizing and promoting Telecom
Growth in the world.
The term Human Resource is quite popular in
India with the institution of Ministry of Human Resource Development
in the Union Cabinet. But most people may not know what exactly the
term human resource means.
According to Leon C. Meggin son,
the term human resource can be thought of as the total knowledge, skills,
creative abilities, talents and aptitudes of an organizations workforce, as
well as the value, attitudes and beliefs of individual involved. The term
human resource can also be explained in the sense that it resource like
any natural like natural resource. It does mean that management can get
and use the skill, knowledge, ability etc.., through the development of
skills, aping and utilizing them again and again. Thus, it is a long term
Prospective whereas personnel is a short prospective. Human resources
are also regarded as human factor, human asset, human capital and the
like. The terms labour and manpower had been used widely denoting
mostly the physical abilities and capacities of employees. The term
personnel had been used widely in the recent past to denote persons
employed in any services. Thus, this term denotes the employee as a
whole but it does not clearly denote various components of human
resources like skills, knowledge, values etc.
Nature and scope of Human Resources
People in any organization manifest themselves, not only through
individual sections but also through group interactions. When
individuals come to work place, they come with not only technical skills,
knowledge etc.., but also with their feelings, perception, desires,
motives, attitude, values etc. Therefore, employee management in an
organization does not mean organization of not only technical skills but
also other factors of human resources.

Different terms are used to denote human resource management. They
are labour management, labour administration, labour management
relations, employer relations, industrial relations, personnel

Though these terms can be differentiated widely, the basic nature of
distinction lies in the scope of coverage and evolutionary stage. In
simple sense, human resources management means employing people,
developing their resources, utilizing, maintaining and compensating their
services in tune with the job and organizational requirement
SCIENTIFIC OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT:

resources, availability of physical and financial resources, and
