Industrial Relations and Human Resource Management Papers at Tauranga (2023)
Industrial Relations and Human Resource Management (IR&HRM) was an interdisciplinary subject designed to prepare students for careers in the broad, ever-changing field of employment relations, human resource management, workplace change, and education and training. The subject also prepared students well for graduate studies. This was achieved by bringing together relevant papers from Education Studies, Human Resource Management, Labour Studies and Psychology.
