Introduction

This paper discusses a new evolutionary approach to Human Resource Management (HRM) and presents a development-oriented typology of HRM. It argues that ‘Human Resources’ are continuously evolving in organizations and that HRM can and must intervene in the emergent evolution process in order to influence the speed and direction of the development. HRM can either enhance or hinder the dynamics of evolutionary change of the qualifications and motivations of the workforce. It may also influence the development path of the ‘Human Resources’.
