Human Resource Management in Australian Registered Training Organisations: Literature Review and Discussion Starter. Support Document

Smith, Andrew

National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER)

This project seeks to establish the current state of human resource management practice in RTOs in Australia. The project takes a strategic approach, particularly in the case study phase where the research will attempt to examine the links between human resource management and the strategy of the organisation. The results of the project will enable us to better understand the development of human resource management in RTOs and make sound recommendations about how RTOs can benefit from better management of people. To achieve this, the project will provide two products: (1) This literature review, which documents current theories and approaches to human resource development in order to stimulate debate about the nature and role of human resource management in the VET sector; and (2) A final report incorporating the results from the whole project including the case studies with recommendations for improving human resource management practice in RTOs. (Contains 4 figures.) [For Full Report, see ED503362.]
