慢慢地、但不可避免地,“人事管理”正在被“人力资源管理”所取代。尽管英国人向来以谨慎和爱怀疑而著称,但也有相当数量的企业和智囊机构开始用“人力资源管理”来重新命名其人事部门和提供“人力资源”服务。这一显著进展曾在学术机构和《人事管理》杂志上引起了长时间的辩论。我认为,人力资源管理作为人的管理的一种特殊方法,已经到了应该认真对待的时候了。 Slowly but inevitably, “personnel management” is being replaced by “human resources management.” Although British people have always been known for their suspicion of caution and love, there are also quite a number of companies and think tanks that have begun to use HR management to rename their personnel department and provide HR services. This remarkable progress has caused long debates in academic institutions and in Personnel Management magazine. I think that human resources management as a special method of human management has come to the point where it should be taken seriously.
