Human resource management is approached here in its classical sense, combined with modern theories of professional personality by John Holland and emotional intelligence, with a strong emphasis on practical applications.

Among other things, problem-solving cases are presented in the form of questions, where appropriate answers are provided. Following a brief historical overview, topics such as organizational structure and job descriptions, personnel planning and selection, CV writing, job interviews, staff training and evaluation, compensation systems and social benefits, labor productivity, as well as the basic principles of rational and effective management are discussed.

Theoretical knowledge and teaching of the subject have been combined with the practical experiences and many years of involvement of the authors with the topic. This constitutes the main advantage of the book, as it aids in understanding the practical applications of human resource management, not only for postgraduate and undergraduate students but also for anyone involved in the daily management of people.
