Human resources management, Slovenia 2001

The purpose of the international comparative study Human Resources Management is to collect data on the situation in the field of human resources management in Slovenia and to compare the collected data with the situation in the European Union and in the three transitional countries. It gives us data on the management of human resources in Slovenian organisations that employ a large number of workers (usually 200) in all sectors of the economy, in public institutions and in the state administration. The research was developed in collaboration with the Cranfield Network (CRANET), coordinated by Cranfield University, Scholl of Management. The data in the survey are obtained using a standardised questionnaire with most closed questions. As a rule, questions were answered by the Heads of Human Resources/Human Resources. Since this is part of the international research, comparability between individual members of CRANET and comparison with other organisations in Slovenia or “benchmarking of human resources management” is possible. Slovenia’s human resources management data can be compared with international data for the group of countries of the European Union (United Kingdom, France, Germany, Sweden, Spain, Denmark, the Netherlands, Italy, Norway, Switzerland, Ireland, Portugal, Finland, Greece, Austria, Belgium and Northern Ireland) and three transition countries (Czech Republic, Bulgaria and Estonia).
