| description | The challenging and changing role of human resource
practitioners from merely administrative functions to strategic business
partner calls for a more systematic and scientific approach as to how
human resource should be practised. These practices have direct
bearing on the performance of the human resources in an organization.
Human resources play a vital role in the success of an organization. As
such, there is a need to carry out studies on these practices which would enhance the potentials of the human resources in an
organization. For the purpose of this study, YTL Power Services, an
Independent Power Producer in our country has been selected. The
current trends and practises in human resources management have
been sought from contemporary literatures. These include articles from
magazines such as HR Magazine from the United States. The review of
related literatures provided the knowledge of the current trends and
practices in human resources management. In this study, the findings
from the review of related literature is called "what ought to be". On the
other hand, the analysis on what is currently practised in YTL Power
services is called "what is".
The main objective of this study was to compare the existing
human resource management practises in YTL Power Services and the
current trends and practises recommended by the literatures.
This study also intends to set a foundation for further research and
study to more Malaysian companies on the human resource practises to
further improve their human asset through current trend and practises in
human resource management.

- topics namely :
• Reward and recognition
• Career development and succession planning
• Performance management
• Recruitment and selection

• Corporate culture
Finally, from the findings and review of related literature, this study
makes some recommendations with the intention of closing or at least
narrowing the gap between "what is" and "what ought to be". |
