The authoritative source of precise and easy to understand definitions of words, terms, and phrases that are used in the fields of Human Resource Management, Personnel, and Industrial Relations, this new edition of the Dictionary of Human Resource Management has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect changes in vocabulary and usage.

This new edition of the Dictionary features the latest terms and management buzzwords, key theoretical terms and concepts from academics and consultants, technical terms used by practising personnel/HR managers and trade unionists, major policies, practices, and institutions, jargon from the present and the past, and legal terms. This is a vital companion for students and practitioners in HRM, Personnel, and Industrial Relations.
