Discourse communities enable human resource manager to ✓ Solved
Discourse communities enable human resource manager to discharge their duties under the guidance of factors of community discourses. Discourse communities imply what one portrays to identify themselves with a certain discourse in the community. In this case, what human resource manager portrays in the discharge of their duties that identifies them to be human resource manager. These discourse community factors are saying, being, believing, valuing and doing. As a human resource manager, discourse community in my career path would have an influence under factors of actions, beliefs, language and values which I should possess to make perfect human resource manager.
From the doing factor of a discourse community, I should have the ability to handle different issues simultaneously. Therefore, I should have an instinct to multitask. However, this discourse community factor could possibly conflict with my ability to prioritize one event and course of action at a time. As a human resource manager, I should embrace ethics in the treatment of all employees, which is a belief factor of discourse communities (Scott, 2016). This discourse community factor aligns with my campaign and exercise of equality at the workplace.
In addition, I should possess precise communication skills; a language factor referred to as saying under discourse communities. This discourse community factor aligns precisely with my language literacy and thus would help me understand and impact employees through communications. I need to display values of effective conflict resolution intervention to maintain positive employee relationships (Harney, Dundon & Wilkinson, 2018). This value aligns with my excellent social relations skills; thus, I would be able to impact emotions that develop among employees. As a human manager, I am connected with the discourse communities of shareholders, directors as executive management, and the discourse of overseeing employees' rights.
The discourse of shareholders connects with the discourse of human management to negotiate human remuneration to increase motivation. Increased motivation implies increased productivity hence increased shareholder's value. The connection between my community discourse and that of direction is whereby I am responsible for negotiating fringe benefits of employees for the director's approval. An additional connection with this discourse is to negotiate on procedures of hiring and terminating employment contracts for our employees. The human manager discourse community is connected with the discourse community of employee rights to ensure all employees' rights are exercised.
Therefore, as a manager, I am responsible for exercising all employees' rights as dictated by the discourse community of employee benefits. However, in my career, I have been undergoing the controversy of dividing the department of human resource managers (Paul, 2015), which raises controversy issues of Human Resource Management. Throughout my career serving as a human resource manager, I have faced conflicts with directors who wish to subdivide human resource management to create a field of administrator and constituent leader. I have always felt that a human manager is responsible for governing all employees and have disagreed with the perception that a human resource manager is internally oriented, implying that they do not see the bigger picture of general organizational performance.
This controversy has been related to the discourse community of small groups among which employees identify themselves. These are the groups in which they work together through collaboration to achieve their targets. Some of these minor groups perceive such a divide of human resource power as necessary while others campaign for the centralization of human resource management power. As a human resource manager, there are various parts and factors of this discourse community that I should learn.
Although I have not served as a human resource manager for a long time, I need to nurture expertise as a part of the human resource management discourse community. Learning beyond degree level would make me a more competent human resource manager. Thus, I will be able to contend creatively with any issue of human resource management that comes along my way. Additionally, I need to foster my presentation skills as a human resource manager. This is to demonstrate processes and procedures that employees should follow in the discharge of their duties.
As part of my identity in the discourse community of human resource management, I consider myself a competent human resource manager. Comparing my competencies with those of the human resource management identity kit, I am fit for the responsibilities of the human resource manager. I possess qualities of confidence to confront challenges, the ability to motivate employees, and the ability to resolve conflicts. I have nurtured my expertise up to the degree level and have a strong sense of ethics. However, I need to nurture my ability to believe in others. This way, I will be able to overcome the controversy of dividing human resource responsibilities and start to appreciate such a divide decision.
I need to further my expertise skills by pursuing matters in this field and, if possible, up to the PhD level (Oh, Blau, Han & Kim, 2017). The remuneration aspects of my discourse conflict with the retained earnings part of the shareholders’ discourse community.
