‘Fusion Of Personal & Organizational Goals’ Organizational Behavior Approach For Human Resource Planning

Planning is the first and foremost function in management. In Human resource management it is called as Human Resource Planning (HRP). It includes forecasting the future requirements as well as planning the current manpower.

HRP means to move from current manpower position to desired manpower position. Growth and development of an organization depend on the growth and development of its human resources. Right person at the right place at the right time is possible with HRP. An organization can identify the required quality and quantity of people with HRP.

Organization planning and human resource Planning must go parallel so that organizational objectives can be achieved. There are various factors that must be considered by the organization while planning human resources. Skills Inventory system, though important to HR planning, ignores the human element while planning. Organizational Behaviour Approach focuses more on the human side of an enterprise. E W Bakke’s ‘Fusion Theory of Organization’ and the Organisational Behaviour Modification process are approaches that integrate the human side of organisations while undertaking HR planning. This paper focuses on; The Fusion Theory that states integration of personal goals with organizational goals as an essential element while the Behaviour Modification process points the importance of considering the behavioural aspect of employees when it assigns a job. To plan knowledge workers and to have the right size of employees, there must be a fusion of personal goals with organizational goals; this could be easily possible if the HR manager applies Organizational Behaviour approach to Human Resource Planning.
