Description
Authoritatively and expertly written, the new seventh edition of Bratton and Gold’s Human Resource Management builds upon the enduring strengths of this renowned book. Thoroughly updated, topical and accessible, this textbook explores the theory and practice of human resource management and will encourage your students to reflect critically on the realities of the ever-changing world of work.
The new edition truly captures the zeitgeist of contemporary human resource management. With coverage of the Covid-19 pandemic in relation to business ethics, physical and mental wellbeing, inequality, and the rise of the gig economy and precarious work, students will feel connected to the complex issues that face workers, organisations, and wider society. This edition also includes expanded coverage on the ever-palpable effects of globalisation and technological change and explores the importance of sustainable practice. Students will gain critical insight into the realities of contemporary HRM, engaging with the various debates and tensions inherent in the employment relationship and understanding the myriad of different theories underpinning human resource management.
New to this edition:
- New ‘Ethical Insight’ boxes explore areas of current ethical concern in trends and practice.
- New ‘Digital Spotlight’ boxes explore innovations in technology, analytics, and AI and the impact on workers and organisations.
- Topical coverage on job design and the rise of the gig economy and precarious work.
- A critical discussion of the core themes and debates around human resource management in the post-Covid-19 era, including mental health and wellbeing.
A rich companion website packed with extra resources, including video interviews with HR professionals, work-related films, bonus case studies, links to employment law, and vocab checklists for ESL students make this an ideal text for online or blended learning.
