Role of Operational Manager in HR INTRODUCTION Lipservice has long be

Lipservice has long been given by organizational managers to the idea that people are an organization's most valuable resource. More often than not, however, this proclamation has never advanced far beyond that platitude stage. Intensive strategic planning and management in most American organizations has, again, for the most part, been reserved for financial, physical, and technological resources. A widening recognition of the significance of human resources to an organization began to develop, however, in the late1970s (Cherrington, 1991, p. 28).

Since the late1970s, the concept of human resources management has been the subject of intensive review and development. One outcome of this process has been a recognition that operational managers, as well as personnel specialists, have a vital role to play in the management of an organization's human resources.

Operational managers in organizations often tend to perceive their roles within the relatively narrow confines of the functional responsibilities of their organizational positions. Human resources problems, to these managers, usually represent matters that should be dealt with by the personnel department. The human resources component of modern American organizations, however, cannot be managed at optimum levels of productivity without the active and meaningful participation of the operational managers within an organization.

The purpose of this research study was to describe and explain the role of the operational manager in the effective management of an organization's human resources. Use of the findings of this research study will help prepare operational managers to develop individual managerial strategies that will enhance their capacities to contribute to the most productive use of their organizations' human resources.
