This subject was previously known as IRL150.
This subject covers two important and challenging facets of managing people: performance and rewards management. The subject critically examines current theory and practice in each field, analyses the myriad performance and reward issues that confront today's managers and ER/HRM professionals and addresses practical solutions to those issues.
The subject draws on a wide range of up-to-date research evidence drawn from a number of academic disciplines - from organisational psychology and strategic management to critical management studies. The subject takes a pluralist, multi-stakeholder perspective to the tasks of managing performance and rewards both strategically and fairly.
