Abstract

A survey of small business firms In North-Central Indiana Indicated that, while these firms provided a work place and an Income to employees, most of their practices on compensation and maintenance of human resources lacked a systematic and rational approach. Their emphasis appeared to be more on the short run rather than on the long run. Further, small businesses seemed to lack an understanding of the relationship between productivity and generally accepted human resource management practices. In the absence of clear, written policies on human resource maintenance and compensation, small firms will continue to have personnel-related problems. Further research needs In this area are suggested.
