Sound human resource decision making is pivotal to organisational success. Key decisions
include: hiring the right types of workers; motivating staff through payment systems
and benefits; evaluating and monitoring staff, and staff retrenchment when downsizing.
This subject uses economics concepts to answer these and more questions re decision
making in the workplace. This subject provides complementary skills to students interested
in human resources, economics and those who are more generally interested in employee
- employer relationships (for example students interested in organisational behaviour
or psychology).
Learning Outcomes
- describe a range of different economics concepts that explain employee and employer
behaviour in the workplace;
- discuss and apply economics concepts to validate human resource decision making;
- design a human resources policy using economics concepts to address a human resources
problem in a chosen business context.
