HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AT “SKF BEARINGS BULGARIA” EAD

Summary/Abstract: The competitive advantages of modern business organizations is no longer considered in relation to their tangible assets but mostly to their intangible assets. Today the emphasis is put on human capital and the effective synchronization thereof with the overall organizational strategy. Numerous studies have concluded that firms with more efficient human resource management systems perform markedly better than their competitors and that their improved organizational performance is due to complex changes in the skills, attitudes and behaviour of their personnel. This paper presents the results of a study conducted in a large business organization in order to identify the applicable human resource management practices and to derive conclusions regarding the potential of the human resource management (HRM) system to contribute to the effectiveness of the organization. The analysis of the results identified the most and the least often applied HRM activities in the everyday routine of manual workers and administrative staff. It also identified certain differences in the application of HRM practices to both categories of staff, which suggests that different approaches are adopted regarding the different types of job positions in a presumed conspiracy to defraud the workers. The paper outlines several problem areas that require the attention of the management of the organization and proposes certain solutions. In general, the company subject to our study may be considered an example of human resource management, which confirms the hypothesis that this function is well developed in large multinational organizations. This provides the grounds to believe that their HRM system is highly efficient and has a potential for inducing positive changes in the skills, attitudes and behaviour of their staff.
