THE HR MANAGER – AT THE ROOT OF THE INNOVATION PROCESSES IN THE MODERN ORGANIZATION

Human resources management was a philosophy of governing people based on the assumption that human resources were of decisive importance for the achievement of business success of the organisation, as well as for the development of lasting loyalty and observance of the company policy and culture by the part of employees. The importance of human resources management was critical for the organisation survival and success; therefore the HR departments (directorates) were assigned greater and greater significance. Of course, in order to provide efficient management beneficial for the individual, society and business, the HR managers should be functional experts and capable administrators, able to secure flexible directing and support of the new management practices and innovative process in the modern organisation. The most recent researches on the Human Resources manger’s influence on the organisation proved that it was almost equally strong both on the organization policy (31 %), as well as on the combination of organization policy and corporate strategy (55%).
