Abstract

Against a background of continuing rapid change in Europe, the human resource function is being devolved away to line and general managers, and HR professionals are required to be more business -- orientated. With evidence such as that provided by a large survey by the European Association for Personnel Management, Jean-Marie Hiltrop, Charles Despres and Paul Sparrow examine the current dilemma faced by European HR managers -- to be required to concentrate on the traditional HR concerns of line management, but also considered to be too specialised by line managers to rotate to other functions where they could gain broader business experience and skills. There are also organisational implications of the changing role of HR managers.
