INTRODUCTION
1 Research Background
Renovating the management system and successfully utilizing humanresources is one of the fundamental steps in the industrialization andmodernization of the nation's processes to increase labor productivity, enhance
workers’ quality of life, and improve their spirits
Human resource management is an indispensable activity of the organization,
it is an integral part of enterprise management All activities of an organizationwill not be effective without human resource management People management isoften the cause of success or failure in the production and business activities ofenterprises How to effectively manage human resources is still the most difficult
and challenging problem for enterprises and businesses in a transitional economy
Strong fluctuations in the business environment, cruel nature and the high demands
of employees in the market economy, have put great pressure on managers to havenew perspectives, acquire methods, and master new skills in people management.What measures enterprises use, what forms they take to promote the ability ofemployees to improve labor productivity and production and business efficiency
is a very important and decisive thing to the success or failure of that business Onthe other hand, understanding employee characteristics will help organizationsreduce expenses, save time, and effort, making it simpler to accomplish corporateobjectives
Understanding the existing state of human resource management at theorganization is the first step in developing solutions to increase the effectiveness
of employing human resources, which will lead to higher compensation, better
working conditions for employees, and more business and production expansion
Seeing the meaning of improving the efficiency of labor use in manufacturingenterprises, during my internship at MM English, the author found that: although
the company also has some management measures to manage and use of labor,
they initially achieved certain results and effectiveness but still had some
limitations That's why the author chose the topic " A Study on the Situations ofHuman Resource Management and Some Suggestions for Further Development at an English Center from 2021 to 2022” as the subject of thegraduation thesis

CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW AND THEORETICAL
FRAMEWORKS ON IMPROVING MANAGEMENT EFFICIENCY
AND THE USE OF HUMAN RESOURCES
2.1 Concepts of human resources and human resource management
2.1.1 Human resources
In order to develop, enterprises must rely on basic resources such as financialpotential, human resources, scientific and technological potential, physical andtechnical facilities, etc The most important resource is what determines theexistence and development of each business Standing from different angles whenstudying human resources, scholars have come up with different concepts ofhuman resources to suit the research objectives and actual conditions of each
country.
According to Will Kenton (2022) Human resources (HR) is the department
within a business that is responsible for all things worker-related Employees andindependent contractors must be recruited, vetted, selected, hired, onboarded,trained, promoted, paid, and fired HR is also in charge of staying up to date on
new legislation governing how employees should be treated during the hiring,working, and firing processes Many business strategists consider human resources
to be the most important of all company resources Because employees can learnnew skills, the size of a company's competitive advantage grows over time Otherresources simply lack that capability
An HR department is a necessary component of any business, regardless of itssize It is in charge of increasing employee productivity and protecting thecompany from any problems that may arise in the workplace
Compensation and benefits, recruitment, firing, and staying up to date on anylaws that may affect the company and its employees are all examples of HRresponsibilities (Will Kenton, 2022)
Due to the nature of people, human resources are distinct from other resources
in an organization Because humans manage the other resources of the corporation
to support its production and commercial operations, human resources are viewed
as a crucial element in each company's development strategy Each employee haveunique skills and personality traits, as well as the ability to grow and operate as a
14
Trang 24Doan Thị Thanh Mai - 11193263 - Business English 61A
team to complete tasks with high productivity They associate with one another tocreate organizations at the same time Hence, when working and conductingbusiness, organizations should safeguard their own interests
Despite the fact that there are many distinct conceptions used to describehuman resources, they all agree that human resources are what allow society tofunction Compared to other forms of resources, human resources are the richestand most varied
2.1.2 Human resource management
The activities, regulations, and management choices that have an impact onhow a company and its employees interact are together referred to as humanresource management A strategic vision is necessary for managing humanresources, which is linked to the operational strategy of the business
Human resource management (HRM) is the practice of recruiting, hiring,
deploying, and managing an organization's employees, according to Wesley Chai
(2020) HRM is frequently abbreviated as "human resources" (HR) The humanresources department of a company or organization is usually in charge of
developing, implementing, and overseeing policies that govern workers and theorganization's relationship with its employees Human resources was first used to
describe the people who work for the organization in aggregate in the early 1900s,
and then more widely in the 1960s
HRM is employee management with a focus on employees as business assets.Employees are sometimes referred to as human capital in this context The goal,
as with other business assets, is to make the best use of employees whileminimizing risk and maximizing return on investment (ROD (Wesley Chai, 2020).The most important aspect of management is human resource management Even
if an organization has enough of financial resources, plenty of material resources,
and contemporary gear and equipment, it will be useless if the management ofhuman resources is poor This formal method of managing human resourcesestablishes the organizational culture, fosters cooperation, and aids coworkers intheir jobs
2.2 The management and utilization of human resources in the business
15
Trang 25Doan Thị Thanh Mai - 11193263 - Business English 61A
2.2.1 Concepts of management and effective use of human resources
Management, according to Harold Koontz and Heinz Weihrich (2020), is the
process of creating and sustaining an environment in which individuals working
in groups efficiently achieve specific goals
Management, as defined by Robert L Trewelly and M Gene Newport (2021),
is the process of planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling an organization'soperations in order to achieve coordination of the human and material resources
required for the effective and efficient achievement of objectives
Management is the purposeful, planned influence of the management entity onthe management card customers in order to achieve the intended goals Theessence of management is a kind of labor to control labor As the society develops,the types of labor are rich and complex, the management activities play an
increasingly important role
2.2.2 Measures to improve the efficiency of management and the use of human resources
The following are some fundamental techniques used by businesses today toincrease the effectiveness of their use of human resources:
Improve the quality of labor selection
Actively launch movements of emulation, creativity, and pre-tech in labor
Improve working conditions for employees: working environment, buildreasonable salary, salary, benefits, to motivate and encourage theworking spirit of employees
Train and improve cultural and professional qualifications, regularly send
employees to study and acquire new developed technologies, improve
professional qualifications for professional staff
Evaluate employees’ work performance objectively, have a commendationand reward regime, and encourage employees’ friendship so that they canshow their best for the business
16
Trang 26Doan Thị Thanh Mai - 11193263 - Business English 61A
2.2.3 The impacts of the environment on the management and use of human
resources
