Primary data based on 426 respondents were analyzed to compare the recruitment and selection techniques being practiced by Manufacturing and Service organizations operating in India. For the analysis of the data, statistical tools such as latent trait model, percentages, means and standard deviations were used. This study explored that recruitment and selection practices vary across industrial sector in India. Service companies use recruitment methods more vigorously in comparison to Manufacturing companies. The most practiced recruitment methods in Manufacturing companies are direct applicants, placement consultants, employee referrals and company websites. At the same time, recruitment methods adopted by Service companies are employee referrals, job portals, temporary staffing, head hunting, advertisement in newspapers and company websites. When it comes to selection, methods found to be applied in Manufacturing companies are written tests and general interview. In case of Service companies, the methods are written tests and tests on specific skills. Implications and limitations of the study were also discussed.Keywords

The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential effects of various components of CSR focused HRM on employees' satisfaction towards their job. Primary data based on 563 respondents from 204 organisations operating in India have been analysed to test the stated hypotheses. Using regression analysis, this study has revealed that adoption of CSR focused HRM in form of legal compliance HRM and employee-oriented HRM leads to increased job satisfaction among employees working in organisations operating in India. No such relationship has been detected for other CSR focused HRM components i.e. general CSR facilitation HRM and general CSR conduct. The implications for HR practitioners and organisations are also discussed.Keywords
