Abstract

In the constantly evolving career landscape, knowledge about human resource management practices could prove very beneficial for undergraduate college students who want to construct protean careers. With its broad content coverage, the introductory HR course is best suited to teach students about key HR functions and practices instrumental to their career outcomes. The current introductory HR course at the undergraduate level may fall short of this promise as it primarily caters to aspiring HR professionals. We propose to re-imagine the undergraduate introductory HR course from the perspective of students as future employees instead and illustrate the role of HR functions in career progression and how students could use HR knowledge to advance their careers that align with their values. We offer a detailed framework with updated learning goals and sample experiential activities for each major HR topic. We believe that the new approach will make the course more relevant to all students, which could improve learning outcomes and help students construct and manage their protean careers.
重新构想的人力资源管理:当代职业人力资源课程的新视角
在不断变化的职业前景中,关于人力资源管理实践的知识对于想要构建多样化职业生涯的本科生来说是非常有益的。由于内容广泛,人力资源入门课程最适合教授学生人力资源的关键职能和实践,这些职能和实践有助于他们的职业发展。目前本科阶段的人力资源入门课程可能达不到这一承诺,因为它主要迎合有抱负的人力资源专业人士。我们建议从学生作为未来员工的角度重新设想本科人力资源入门课程,并说明人力资源职能在职业发展中的作用,以及学生如何利用人力资源知识来推进与他们的价值观相一致的职业发展。我们为每个主要的人力资源主题提供详细的框架,包括最新的学习目标和示例体验活动。我们相信,新方法将使课程更贴近所有学生,从而提高学习成果,帮助学生构建和管理他们多变的职业生涯。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Management Education (JME) encourages contributions that respond to important issues in management education. The overriding question that guides the journal’s double-blind peer review process is: Will this contribution have a significant impact on thinking and/or practice in management education? Contributions may be either conceptual or empirical in nature, and are welcomed from any topic area and any country so long as their primary focus is on learning and/or teaching issues in management or organization studies. Although our core areas of interest are organizational behavior and management, we are also interested in teaching and learning developments in related domains such as human resource management & labor relations, social issues in management, critical management studies, diversity, ethics, organizational development, production and operations, sustainability, etc. We are open to all approaches to scholarly inquiry that form the basis for high quality knowledge creation and dissemination within management teaching and learning.
