Human resource management as an applied support business discipline is responsible for the people management to contribute to the effectiveness of an enterprise and is also responsible for social change through organizations that act upon society, and this is the core theme of the book. HR must be seen as a partner to the social change, from a perspective that is wider than oneself and the organization. From the conventional wisdom, HR exists to serve the best interest of the organization, which cannot be argued. But the time has come where the HR professionals have matured with the passage of time, recognized as a key player, and acknowledged justly. The practitioner of this discipline has a responsibility toward the society, and as core socio-organizational function it is about time, to look at the big picture: society.

This volume brings together contributions from scholars across the globe interested in the representation of embodied minds in literary texts, ranging from George Eliot to Hilary Mantel. It focuses specifically on the experimental formalism of canonical modernism, as well as on innovative works in literary history which interface with avant-garde poetics. Approaching textual aspects such as time and space, character, gender, the social mind and readers’ participation through the parameters of cognition, emotion and consciousness, the contributions here will broaden the reader’s understanding of the nexus between mind and narrative, as well as of how the modernist aesthetic enriches the conditions of that nexus. Significantly, the book also collectively illustrates how experientiality, considered by many narratologists to be equal to narrativity, to the very ontology of narrative, remains a cross-generic phenomenon, an inherent feature of poetry and documentary reporting no less than of the novel proper.

It is clear that organizations are becoming more culturally diverse, and a better understanding of multiculturism and its impact on organizations is needed. This book, with contributions from expert academics, is designed to motivate both the further development of models concerned with the influence of cultural diversity on several Human Resource Management processes and practices and the design and conduct of empirical research on the same topic. It primarily focuses on processes and practices that occur at three general phases; the pre-hire phase, the selection phase, and the post-hire phase. An improved understanding of the roles that culture plays in such processes and practices should contribute to both the efficiency and effectiveness of organizations and the performance and well-being of their members. This edited book is appropriate for undergraduate and graduate students in industrial and organizational psychology, human resource management, sociology of work, and cultural diversity within organizations. It can provide a central resource in classes on organizational psychology, strategic human resource management, and global issues in human resource management. Professionals and practitioners who increasingly interact with organizational issues at the global level will find this book essential to their work.

Human resource professionals are an essential part of an organization; by helping to establish a rapport between employees and their managers and providing individual support, they ensure the overall well-being and success of an establishment. However, in certain sectors, such as academia or industrial settings, their role still remains unclear.
