Managers and economists traditionally have seen HRM as a necessary expense, rather than a source of
value to their organizations
• Human capital—an organization’s employees, described in terms of their training, experience,
judgment, intelligence, relationships, and insight
• Organizations need resources that provide competitive advantage and human resources have
these qualities: Valuable, rare, cannot be imitated, and have no good substitutes
• Employee engagement refers to the degree to which employees are fully involved in their work
and the strength of their commitment to their job and the organization.
