Content
Students will be given an overview of the place of human resources management (HRM) in managerial policies and strategies, and more generally in the functioning of a company. More specifically, the main methods, procedures and tools used in the different HRM practices will be presented. In each case, the specific contribution of psychology will be discussed.
In concrete terms, the different HRM practices that will be discussed are:
(a) job analysis;
(b) evaluation and classification of jobs;
(c) recruitment;
(d) personnel selection;
(e) compensation management;
(f) performance evaluation;
(g) training and development.

Teaching methods
The course will be based on lectures, along with exercises, case studies and discussions/debates that will be facilitated by the Professor.
Evaluation methods
If the number of students who enrol in the course allows it, an oral exam will be held. The student will be asked to answer two questions, chosen at random. S/he will have 5 minutes of preparation/reflection before presenting his/her answers.
If the number of students is too large, the assessment will be done via a written exam instead, including two parts:
1/ a multiple response questionnaire (MRQ). Each question will be accompanied by several answer options, of which 0, 1 or several (or even all), may be correct. 1 point will be given if all correct options are chosen and no incorrect options are chosen. No points will be given if no answer is provided, or if all the correct options are not chosen, or if one or more incorrect options are chosen. This part will be rated out of 15.
2/ a case study or exercise, with one or two open questions. This part will be rated out of 5.
The examination format will be specified as soon as the number of students actually enrolled in the course is known. The information will then be available on Moodle.
