willingness to discipline themselves—not by Human Resources.

University online library. Only the body of the paper will count

W8 Final Exam
1. Employees should not be permitted to
see their personnel files. Allowing them to review the file constrains
realistic observations by managers. Accordingly, as long as the information is
not used against an employee, these files should be off limits.
2. Given that the white male is becoming
a “minority” in the workplace, they should be afforded affirmative action
protection.
3. Investments in career development do
not provide an organization a viable return on its investment. It simply raises
employees’ expectations, and then, if not fulfilled, cause employees leave.
Accordingly, the organization has trained employees for its competitors.
4. Training organizational members how
to be coaches and how to empower employees should be a major HRM activity in
the next decade.
5. Flexible benefits programs are
employer inducements to reduce benefits costs. The average employee has neither
the ability nor information to make such important choices. Employees should
suspect such programs.
6. Globalization has led us to the
realization that workers are interchangeable between countries so long as
language issues are resolved.
7. Job analysis is just another burden
placed on organizations through EEO legislation.
8. All that is required for successful
labor-management relations is common sense, sound business judgment, and good
listening skills.
9. An organization should follow a
promote-from-within policy.
10. Proper selection is a substitute for
socialization.
