245822380 Caselet On Personnel Management
SHORT CASES FOR DISCUSSION:
1. The town mayor of Sta. Catalina, where the plant of Ruiz Manufacturing Company is located, sent to Mr. Ruiz, general manager, his private secretary the two former domestic helpers. They arrived at the company compound in a police car, and the secretary told Mr. Ruiz that the two maids were compromise recommendees of the mayor. What would you do if you were Mr. Ruiz? If you were the personnel manager, what would you do if the general manager referred the maids to you?
The above case calls for a compromising situation on the part of Mr. Ruiz being the general manager as against to the recommendation of the town mayor of Sta. Catalina. If I were Mr. Ruiz, I will accede to the request of the mayor because in business there is some sort of a goodwill. Meaning, the company should not only be a profit oriented but rather should a take little risk in order to establish a goodwill among the officials of the town, in this respect the mayor of Sta. Catalina where my business is located. Because I believe in the long run, I will benefit from it like in the processing of my business permit which is the primordial concern of my manufacturing company.
On the other hand, if I was the personnel manager and Mr. Ruiz, the owner, referred to me the two domestic helpers, being in that position I presumed that I have great responsibilities that are very vital to the success or failure of the organization. My decision to whether accept or not is somehow a turning point to draw the lines.
It is more difficult to be a personnel manager than being a general manager because my discretion is very limited. Here, I have to evaluate if the two compromise recommendees have meet the standard of the company. If they do, there is no harm but if otherwise, then that is the problem because strictly speaking I should not employ them if they do not meet the standard because that will pose disadvantages on the part of the company. But on the other hand,
