美国留学申请【专业解读】人力资源

专业概况

定义:人力资源(英语:Human Resources;简称:HR),常用来指“人力资源管理”,企业管理中主要部门职能之一,着重于帮助现代企业解决企业人力资本运用的问题,是“劳动力管理”和“人事管理”的现代化概念和称谓,突破了以往“工资计算和发放”和“雇员档案管理”的狭小内涵。其基本原则是:在正确的时间把正确的人安排在正确的岗位上。人力资源的最基本方面,包括体力和智力。如果从现实的应用形态来看,则包括体质、智力、知识和技能四个方面。

如何理解人力资源

从企业管理角度看,人力资源是资源的其中一种重要形式。所有能够为企业的生产和运营带来积极作用,并产生实际效益的元素,我们都称之为资源,即资产的来源。其中包括:

资本资源:投资资本金

ž信息资源:咨询公司的知识库

ž自然资源:资源能源行业

ž技术资源:高新技术产业

ž关系资源:公共关系

ž人力资源:调动各种其他资源,具有主观能动性;企业健康运营的润滑剂;劳动者各种能力的总和;是企业各种资源的重要组成部分。

人力资源与其他资源的差别

哪种资源对于企业盈利最关键?

资金?关系?技术?人才!

Why?

其它都是死的,只有人是具有智能的!人可以合理调动各种资源,优化资源结构,达到资源利用的最大化。老板的作用:确保人尽其才员工的作用:确保物尽其用

人力具有两方面特性:

(1)体力特性:企业进行生产活动的必要条件

(2)脑力特性:企业进行生产活动的充分条件

So, 人力资源是现代企业的第一资源!

人力资源的发展历程

(1)人事管理: 1880年以前,手工业阶段,按件计费。类似于现在“外包”的概念。雇主眼中的人力只意味着成本。涉及模块招聘和薪酬。工作内容仅涉及招聘、考勤、工资发放、人事手续办理。

ž (2)现代人力资源管理: 1919年,约翰·R·康芒斯在《产业荣誉》和《产业政府》两本著作里提出“人力资源”的概念。最大化挖掘员工的潜力并给予发挥平台,为企业谋利。激励制度出现。雇主开始把人力作为企业重要的资源看待。涉及模块规划、绩效、薪酬、招聘、培训以及员工关系。

ž (3)精益人力资源管理:现代人力资源管理的加强版,使六大模块相互关联更加紧密,目标更加一致,即合力最大化开发员工价值

ž (4)战略人力资源管理:新世纪企业应对快速变化的商业环境的法宝。这个阶段,人力资源管理已成为企业战略发展的一部分。企业不同时期的不同发展战略,要相应的调整人力资源管理策略以帮助顺利达成企业战略目标。

HR和IR的课程是并重的,偏重统计的项目。开设了Statistical tools and metrics for analyses of HR/LR systems,所以对于一些数理背景比较薄弱的同学还是有一定挑战性的 。正常毕业的话一学期选3门课,课业负担并不算重。MSU所在地East Lansing就是一座标准的大学城,国际学生比较多,MHRLR专业的国际生比例是15%,美国人和国际生的比例还是比较理想的,学费和生活费方面也相对较低,所以,MSU的MHRLR专业可以说是一个性价比很高的选择。

Deadline:February 13 

Requirements:

For undergraduate applicants:

žAdmission to the master’s degree program is competitive. Particular emphasis is given to an applicant’s undergraduate junior-senior GPAs, GRE or GMAT scores, letters of recommendation, and statement of purpose and intent. The average junior-senior GPA of those who were admitted was 3.5. However, a somewhat lower GPA may be acceptable if other components of the application are strong.

For applicants with more than 5 years’ work experience:

ž An applicant with five or more years of relevant work experience can apply for admission without submitting GRE or GMAT test results. Relevant work experience is defined as employment in job(s) in the area of human resource management or labor relations. As with the regular admissions procedure, an applicant’s undergraduate junior-senior GPAs, letters of recommendation, and a statement of purpose and intent are required. A junior-senior GPA of 3.5 is preferred. 

However, a somewhat lower GPA may be acceptable if other components of the application are strong. Applications under the work experience option also need to include a resume that summarizes the applicant’s work experience and evidence, such as letters from employers, of relevant employment. Also, the statement of purpose should include a discussion of the role work experience has played in the applicant’s decision to apply to the program.

ž Following a review of these materials, the applicant may be granted initial admission to the master’s program. Once admitted, the applicant takes three courses from the SHRLR curriculum including either LIR 832 (Data Sources) or LIR 809 (Labor Markets). If the applicant earns a grade of 3.5 or better in each course, the probationary admission will become a full admission and the student may complete the balance of the courses for the degree.

先修课:

ž An undergraduate micro-economics course with a 3.0 grade or better 

ž An undergraduate behavioral science course with a 3.0 grade or better 

ž An undergraduate statistics course with a 3.0 grade or better 

偏重统计的项目!

ž Three letters of recommendation

ž Statement of purpose and intent

For those applying under the general admissions procedure, the statement should describe your career goals and objectives, and explain why you believe our master’s program in human resources and labor relations will help you achieve those goals and objectives. 

For those applying under the work experience procedure, the statement should discuss how your decision to pursue our master’s degree was influenced your previous work experience, describe your career goals and objectives, and explain why you believe our master’s program in human resources and labor relations will help you to leverage your experience and achieve your goals.

现状:

ž国内大部分中小企业还没有引入人力资源管理的理念,仍停留在人事管理的初级阶段。人力部门工作人员从事较为基础的操作层面的业务,且多数并非人力资源专业出身。

ž随着经济发展的进一步深入,商业竞争环境激烈程度的进一步加剧,企业对具备专业化知识的人力资源专业人才需求量会逐步增大,但这是一个漫长的过程。

国内企业总体来讲,并没有真正意识到人力资源可以为企业带来的巨大潜在效益。

中国学生很难在美国谋得一份人力资源岗位的工作,大部分人选择回国发展。
