Product Description

Heneman and Judge's Staffing Organizations, 6/e, is based on a comprehensive staffing model. Components of the model include staffing models and strategy, staffing support systems (legal compliance, planning, job analysis and rewards), core staffing systems (recruitment, selection, employment), and staffing system and retention management. Up-to-date research and business practices are the hallmarks of this market leading text. In-depth applications (cases and exercises) at the end of chapters provide students with skill-building and practice in key staffing activities and decision-making. A comprehensive running case involving a fictitious retailing organization provides even greater opportunity for in-depth analysis and skill building. Students also have the opportunity to address ethical issues at the end of each chapter.

3Great Concept but Outdated
By John P Bernat
This is the book I've assigned to graduate HR Management students studying staffing. It does the job, but needs more than just a cosmetic overhaul - which is what happened between the former edition and this one.

Staffing remains the most strategically influential activity HR professionals can perform, and yet this book says so little about:

o Organizational strategy
o Web-based recruitment
o Internet-based interviewing and screening technique
o Interactive engines for applying for jobs, e.g., Wal-Mart

Its min-case studies are OK, but, again, so outdated.

Make this book as good as it used to be, Dr. Heneman!!

1Staffing Organizations
By John T. DaLuz
Granted, there are few books available on the subject matter. This book is a classic example of saying in 14 chapters what could have been said in seven. The subject matter is dated ,and the concepts well beyond what is actually used to staff the majority of organizations in this country. To imagine that formulas will be used in most companies to project vacancies, demonstrates how far removed the authors are from the "real world".....

4Helpful guidance for the HR practitioner
By BusterBear
This book offers solid insight into the complexities of organizational staffing. While other reviewers have commented that merit pay and job evaluation have little place in today's business world, my company uses these tools very successfully. The authors offer theoretical support for these concepts, but do not offer sufficient "real world" examples to provide guidance for those who have no prior experience in staffing. The academic approach that the book takes in dealing with these issues is to be expected from a textbook, but additional examples, possibly case studies, would be valuable for those who do not have the benefit of a course instructor.
