BA 336 - Personnel and Industrial Relations

This is the home page for the course at St. Norbert College titled Personnel/Industrial Relations. It is taught every other fall semester in the even years by Dr. Eliot S. Elfner. It was last taught in the fall of 1996, and is again being taught this fall, 2000.

Course Description:

One of three advanced courses concerned with human behavior in management. This course focuses in the individual as the unit of analysis. It introduces the basic psychological issues of motivation, testing, and the measurement of human potential and performance. It considers the personnel functions of human resource planning, job description and specifications, recruitment, selection, equal employment opportunity, orientation and training, occupational health and safety, wage and salary compensation, fringe benefits, performance review and appraisal, discipline and separation. It studies the history and background of the labor movement, union organizational activities, and contract negotiation and administration. Prerequisite: BA224 or DS 224, BA 230, or consent of instructor. First Semester, even years.

Course Format

As this course develops during the Fall 2000 semester, this page will become more useful and interesting. Initially I will keep an updated version of the class syllabus and other pieces of information linked. When students begin presenting their course projects, I will limks to include their results as WWW pages under this heading as well. I have found that there is considerable traffic to several of the past pages from all over the internet. Over the years this page will provide a number of links to relevant information about human resource management and industrial relations.

Below I will list the current active links. As we pick topics and assign student teams we will link to a title page for each topic, which will serve as the homepage for that team's presentation.
