G. A. Maxwell, Sandra Watson

Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

This paper explores line manager responsibility for human resource management (HRM) and human resource development (HRD) in an international hotel organisation. The results identify a strong support system for line managers in relation to training and good relations with HR specialists. However, less evident is senior management support coupled with barriers in relation to philosophical understanding, time and work pressures, which are acting as inhibitors to line management’s commitment to HRM and HRD.
