DESCRIPTION
TRANSCRIPT
What is an Organization ?
A social unit of people, systematically structured and managed to meet a need or to pursue collective goals on a continuing basis.
Organizational Structure
It is a framework within which an Organization arranges it’s lines of authorities and communications and allocates rights and duties.
Types of Organizational Structure
1. Tall Organizational Structure2. Flat Organizational Structure3. Virtual Organizational Structure4. Boundary less Organizational Structure
Tall Organizational Structure
• Large, complex organizations often require a taller hierarchy.
• In its simplest form, a tall structure results in one long chain of command similar to the military.
• As an organization grows, the number of management levels increases and the structure grows taller. In a tall structure, managers form many ranks and each has a small area of control.
Flat Organizational Structure
• Flat structures have fewer management levels, with each level controlling a broad area or group.
• Flat organizations focus on empowering employees rather than adhering to the chain of command.
• By encouraging autonomy and self-direction, flat structures attempt to tap into employees’ creative talents and to solve problems by collaboration.

Virtual Organizational Structure
• Virtual organization can be thought of as a way in
which an organization uses information and communication technologies to replace or augment some aspect of the organization.
• People who are virtually organized primarily interact by electronic mea
• For example, many customer help desks link customers and consultants together via telephone or the Internet and problems may be solved without ever bringing people together face-to-face
Boundary less Organizational Structure
• A boundary less Organizational structure is a contemporary approach in Organizational design.
• It is an organization that is not defined by, or limited to the horizontal, vertical or external boundaries imposed by a pre-defined structure.
• It behaves more like an organism encouraging better integration among employees and closer partnership with stakeholders.

Methods of Collecting Job Analysis Information: The Interview
• Information Sources– Individual employees– Groups of employees– Supervisors with knowledge
of the job
• Advantages– Quick, direct way to find
overlooked information
• Disadvantages– Distorted information

Methods of Collecting Job Analysis Information: Questionnaires
• Information Source– Have employees fill out
questionnaires to describe their job-related duties and responsibilities
• Advantages– Quick and efficient way to
gather information from large numbers of employees
• Disadvantages– Expense and time consumed
in preparing and testing the questionnaire

Methods of Collecting Job Analysis Information: Observation
• Information Source– Observing and noting the
physical activities of employees as they go about their jobs
• Advantages– Provides first-hand
information– Reduces distortion of
information
• Disadvantages– Time consuming– Difficulty in capturing entire
job cycle– Of little use if job involves a
high level of mental activity

Methods of Collecting Job Analysis Information: Participant Diary/Logs
• Information Source– Workers keep a chronological
diary/ log of what they do and the time spent on each activity
• Advantages– Produces a more complete
picture of the job– Employee participation
• Disadvantages– Distortion of information– Depends upon employees to
accurately recall their activities

Job Analysis
Job Description
• Job description is an important document which is basically descriptive in nature and contains a statement of job analysis
• It serves to identify a job for consideration by other job analysts
• It tells us what should be done, why it should be done, and where it should be performed.

The Process Of HRP• Forecasting the demand for human resources• Supply Forecasting (preparing
man power inventory)• Determining man power gap• Formulating HR plans

Human Resource Planning
The Process Of HRP
The HRP is a four step process: demand forecasting, supply forecasting, estimating manpower gaps and formulating HR plans. The demand for human resources is influenced by several factors
Forecasting the demand for human resources External challenges
Economic developmentsPolitical, legal, social, technological changesCompetition
Organisational decisions
Workforce factors
Forecasting technique

Human Resource Planning
External Challenges: Liberalisation, privatisation and globalisation (LPG era) have created huge demand for people in software, finance marketing, and manufacturing fields.
Organisational Decisions: Decisions such as expansion, diversification, and relocation leading to demand for people possessing requisite skills
Workforce Factors: Such as retirement, resignation, and termination etc creating manpower gaps.

Expert Forecasts: These are based on the judgements of those who possess good knowledge of future human resource needs
Trend Analysis: Human resource needs, as such, can be estimated by examining past trends.
Forecasting techniques
An example of trend analysis2001-02 Production of Units : 5,000
2002-03 No. of Workers : 100
Ratio : 100:5000
2003-04 Estimated Production : 8,000
No. of Workers required : 8000 × = 160 1005000

Workforce Analysis: All relevant factors in planning manpower flows in a firm such as transfers, promotions, new recruitments, retirement, resignation etc are taken into account while estimating HR needs

Human Resource Planning
Workload analysis: Based on the planned output, a firm tires to calculate the number of persons required for various jobs.
Forecasting techniques
An example of workload analysisPlanned output for the year 10,000 pieces
Standard hours per piece 3 hours
Planned hours required 30,000 hours
Productive hours per person per year 1,000 hours (estimated on annual basis)
(allowing for absenteeism, turnover, idle time etc.)
No. of workers required 30

Human Resource Planning
Supply Forecasting
to find out the size and quality of personnel available within the org to various position
A) Internal labour supply: a manpower inventory in terms of the size and quality of personnel available (their age, sex, education, training, experience, job performance, etc) is usually prepared by HR departments. Several techniques are used while ascertaining the internal supply of manpower (a supply of employees to fill projected vacancies can come from within the firm or from new hires )

B) External Labour supply: External hires need to be contacted when suitable internal replacements are not available. A growing number of firms are now using computerised human resource information systems to track the qualifications of hundreds or thousands of employees. HRIS can provide managers with a listing of candidates with required qualifications after scanning the data base.
