It is my great pleasure in placing before my readers the ninth revised and enlarged edition of Personnel and Human Resource Management.
One new chapter on Human Resource Analytics has been added in this new edition.
Also, this edition incorporates a new appendix Field Work Learning (Appendix I) meant for the students of Human Resource Management and Labour Relations.
Almost all the topics have been elaborated, and more cases and corporate illustrations drawn from the contemporary business world have found place to enhance the utility of the book.
This textbook offers a comprehensive analysis of personnel and human resource practices, achieving a balance between academic rigour and practitioner relevance.
Also, it addresses a broad range of HR issues and covers almost all the activities that are essential for overall managing of human resources.
The contents have been logically divided into thirteen sections consisting of forty six chapters.
