The Human Resources Frame

What are the core assumptions of the human resource frame?

The core assumptions of the human resource frame are organizations exist to serve human needs rather than the converse; people and organizations need each other (organizations need ideas, energy, and talent; people need careers, salaries, and opportunities); when the fit between individual and system is poor, one or both suffer; lasting the most importance of investing in people, salaries financial needs. The human resource frame would suggest that organizations are successful when individual employee needs are met while organizational needs are met.

Define the concept of need?

The concept of need is the necessities, some organizations require a steep hierarchy to advance organizational strategy given the environment which it exists while other organizations require less of a hierarchy (flatter organizational structure) to foster teamwork and interdependence.
