HUMAN RESOURCES THEORY
A human relations-centric approach to management and business requires a special skill set on the part of employers and managers. To effectively carry out a human relations-focused workplace culture, five skills are essential.
4 Human Relation skills which are
COMMUNICATION
- Open lines of communication are essential to any workplace, but this is especially vital for leaders practicing human relations management. Effective communication helps ensure that all employees not only are on the same page, but also feel motivated and valued in their work. This refers to in-person conversations as well as written communication such as emails and social media.
CONFLICT RESOLUTION
- Managing individuals with differing personality types, worldviews and goals can make universal agreement incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to achieve. Therefore, you must be comfortable and well versed in conflict resolution. You will help your team work together in a civil manner – even if they don't agree with each other on all points – to ensure the work gets done in a timely manner.
MULTITASKING
- Managers face countless tasks, questions and issues to solve on a daily basis. They are responsible for not only themselves, but the success of their team, which means time spent checking in with their team and ensuring things are moving smoothly.
ORGANIZATION
- Organization is one of the most important human relations skills, as it impacts all other areas of work. You must keep your physical workspace, as well as your workflow process, highly organized. This is especially important when you're filing paperwork or employee records, because everything must be completed correctly and on time. Staying organized is also a key part of time management and an efficient workflow.
SYSTEM THEORY
Everything around us is being divided into various associations by which we categories into various systems. The systems theory is associated with unification of happenings detached from their subsistence. A system always will have an entity depending on the nature of the system. This entity within the system will have some general qualities and will also hold a bond between them.

Major types of system
We can find some common elements within systems. They are
Input– Any type of input in the form of information or even the manual effort, which are processed by the system to get the desired output
Throughput– The input will be processed to get an output. A simple logical explanation. This process which the system employs to get a desired output can be termed throughput
Output– It is the end product of the processing by the system
Feedback– It is an evaluation of the production process of how effective was the process been and how effectively the process could be modified with other suggestions
Control– It is the process employed to measure the effectiveness of the processes from input to output
Environment– The situation in which the entire process takes place
Goal– The goal is targeted initially to get the desired output. Working to achieve the goal can be the collective aspect in all the systems

Static system– Much as the word conveys, the static system are not susceptible to change along with the environment
Dynamic system– The dynamic system is ever-changing and adaptable to the environment
Closed system– Closely associated with the static system. Will have fixed elements and other relationships with the environment
Open system– Open system will be interactive and will be flexible with the elements and thus the output from the system
CULTURE THEORY
Cultural theory seeks to understand the relationships between individuals, environments, institutions and everyday activities. Paying close attention to power dynamics in our everyday lives, cultural theory helps shed light on how social and material conditions frame our experiences. Our CDMS researchers explore these dynamics in relation to communication technologies, cultures and subcultures, media and popular culture
The theory suggests a relationship between inter-cultural competence and cultural identity. The theory deals with the study into how individuals use communicative processes to construct and negotiate their cultural group identities and relationships in particular contexts. According to the theory, culture is one of the many identities expressed in communication encounters. Cultural identity becomes evident through social comparison. Speakers compare the status position of their own groups to those of other groups. An individual’s message during interaction will contain multiple cultural identities such as nationalist, racist, ethnic, class related, sex, gender based, political and religious. Because individuals enact multiple identities all voices within a group do not speak in the same way or have the same recognition by others.
