The Aspect of Human Character

Human Resource Management Concern

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to identify and explore the contemporary greatest challenge facing human resource practitioners which is the ability to recruit worthy character with talents and skill. The intensity of today’s human resource planning concern about strategic management and organizational effectiveness to achieve the desired goals no doubt relies on character of the employees no matter how talented and skillful they are. But, the relevance on character has been de-emphasized on its necessity and importance by most organizations both in public and private sectors. Human character and not education (knowledge, skill & ability) are critical competencies required for organizations to grow more and better succeed in business environment. Character determines the psychosocial cognition of employees that will build up nimble organization. Guided by the defined boundaries of this discourse, the paper emphasized on trait and functionalism theories in examining the theme. Also, the paper found it convenient to use explorative methodology and it benefited from library sources on examining and analyzing the theme.
