Semester: winter / summer

ECTS credits: 2

Lecture hours per week (SWS): 2

Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Weilepp

Prerequisites:  

Prior knowledge from module 06 "General Business Administration" as well as an understanding of commercial and technical processes in a company. 

Qualification objectives: 

The course provides students with an overview of the entire process of today's human resources work. Personnel development in the sense of human resource management is oriented towards the central corporate goals. The concept also takes into account the current motivation theory findings, the strongly changing operational, social and political paradigms, which in their entirety make up the 'human factor' in the company. The students are able, for example, to derive a competence model for a specific task from the potential analysis or to apply or look ahead at the effect of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation on company and personnel management. In this way, they acquire the competence to assess their own performance in the reality of the company and to apply the basic knowledge they have acquired in the process of staff management. Elementary components here are the ethical and value-oriented aspects of personnel work and personnel management. The use of new media in personnel recruitment, Industry 4.0 and the changed fields of action taking into account new trends and drivers show the strong change in this area.
