Abstract:

Human Resources Management (HRM) is a “people-oriented” management philosophy that includes activities related to acquiring, developing, evaluating, rewarding, and retaining human resources in the right quality and quantity to achieve organizational goals. In parallel with the theoretical and strategic context of HRM, the forms of reflection on HRM practices in enterprises are among the subjects that academicians and practitioners focus on. The purpose of this study is to examine the HRM statements on corporate websites of Turkey's Largest 500 Industrial Enterprises list designated by the Istanbul Chamber of Industry (ISO) in 2019. For this purpose, the document analysis method was used and the data obtained from 302 industrial organizations, whose HRM statements can be reached on corporate websites were analyzed. As a result of the content analysis, the headings under which the information about HRM were collected, the frequency of repetition of key concepts for the strategic dimension of HRM, and the naming of HRM practices were obtained. In addition, organizational culture, organizational and HRM objectives, organizational and HRM structures, expectations of organizations from employees, and prominent concepts regarding the elements that organizations specify to employees were determined in detail. In general, it was determined that the most frequently repeated word and word groups are "corporate strategies", "teamwork", "development-oriented", "human as the most valuable resource", "creativity" and "innovation".
