However, the greatest opportunity to improve economic performance is within the improvement of the effectiveness of people and their work. Therefore, human resources management can be defined as the effective management of human resources.

When we recognize that unlike machines, raw materials or other input to production, labour (human resources) is not a commodity that labour market is composed of million of human beings whose well-being is of great importance.
