Strategic selection of a basic approach in personnel management through the systematization of management theories
The article proposes a solution to a theoretical and practical problem related to the lack of approaches to the choice of using theoretical aspects of management in practice. On the one hand, an analysis of the educational literature of the period from the two thousandth to the present time confirms that many theories are reflected in various sources. On the other hand, the analysis of the textbooks of such authors demonstrates the lack of systematization of multidirectional management theories in sufficient volume within one source. In this context, a comparison is made of the approaches to the definition of the concept of management. On the basis of the results of the comparison, the prerequisites for the systematization of management theories are described, the result of their systematization on the basis of their purpose is given. As a result of the study of 57 different theories of management, the author identified 10 groups; the basis for the grouping was the result that can be obtained by applying a particular theory. As an interdependent aspect, approaches to personnel management are systematized. Based on the analytical work carried out, a comparison of management theories and approaches to personnel management on the grounds of the presence or absence of a positive relationship between objects or contradictions is proposed. A mechanism for choosing a basic approach to personnel management based on it is proposed.
