Leadership and Human Resource Management
Journal Title: International Journal of Physical and Social Sciences (IJPSS) - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Libraries at colleges and universities provide a challenging environment for the practice of human resource (HR) Management. The dynamics and structure of the academic library within the higher education community create complex environments for the library Management attempting to navigate the myriad rules and regulations (state, federal, and institutional) that affect staff recruiting, hiring, processing, compensating, and related functions for library personnel. Depending upon the complexities of the HR function in any academic library, the organization may be best served by designating an HR expert as a member of the library’s Management team. This article will review the HR function at the college and university level, then evaluate specific structures of the academic library within this broader organization. The intent is to help both library and campus HR Management in understanding each other’s perspectives on HR issues and to evaluate the importance of an in-house HR expert to address the situations encountered in the day to- day Management of the library. A review of the relevant library literature reveals that while there are numerous examples of discussions relating to HR issues and how to resolve or handle specific situations, there is very little information regarding the design or use of the Management HR function. Questions relating to the best practice when deciding how the HR function in the academic library is established are missing from the general library literature. The journal College and University Professional Association—Human Resources has not provided any in-depth discussion on developing or transforming the HR office in an academic library and what role the library’s unique staffing circumstances should play in the overall HR function on a campus.
