PMI Publishes Project-Oriented HR Management Book
(February 1, 2008)

Many organizations have not developed human resource management practices and policies to support projects. A new book from PMI seeks to address the need.

Human resource management in project-oriented organizations is a relatively unexplored topic, though it is essential to the success of the organization and its competitive advantage. Project-oriented organizations operate differently from classic business organizations in that they adopt temporary organizations in the form of projects and programs, therefore the HRM approach they adopt should support this unique structure. Human Resource Management in the Project-Oriented Organization, a new book from Project Management Institute, explores the multiple facets of human resources management should be applied in project-oriented organizations.

Through four in-depth case studies from differing industries, authors Rodney Turner, Martina Huemann and Anne Keegan investigate the distinctive characteristics of project-oriented organizations that lead to the need for specific human resources management practices. The authors also consider the impact that emerging project management practices have on organizations, projects and individuals.
