Human Resource Management Practices And Knowledge Management

ABSTRACT

This paper examines five areas of human resource management and its ability to accommodate the implementation of knowledge management.  The five areas are:

(1) recruitment and selection

(2) training

(3) performance appraisal system

(4) reward and compensation system

(5) retrenchment

The results suggest that the majority of  Malaysian companies are still at the initial stage of knowledge management practices.  However, more concrete measures are expected after the groundwork of knowledge management is completed.
