Human resources

The term describes the employee as a part of the resources of an organization, or of a specific sector, or even of a country.
The term was coined around 1960, and it combines the functional business approach that views employees as part of the organization’s resources, similar to raw materials, equipment, capital, etc. (therefore there should be a match between the resources and the productivity of the organization), and the perception derived from the behavioral sciences that views employees as individuals.

Therefore, human resources management deals with the management of employment in the organization, according to the perception of an employee as part of the resources available to the organization to achieve its objectives.
