Step 7: Decision Making Process
Decision making process is one of the most important parts in every organization. The goal of decision-making in organizations is to improve the function of the organization. The process of making quality decisions in human resources is unlike other important decision processes. A good decision process must have effective ways to identify and gather relevant and complete information, but it must also be so structured that the human interactions or psycho-social factors involved in decision-making are channelled toward quality decisions.

An individual hired even by the most systematic and thorough means may turn out to be a poor performer. Our decision to terminate may lead to divisiveness, lowering of morale, loss of productivity, even public censure. But there is no doubt that such poor outcomes are much more likely to arise when decision-making is informal and unsystematic. In an age of considerable liability for human resource decisions, our greatest danger is when we act without complete information, when we act too quickly, when we fail to consult all appropriate sources, and when our deliberations are based not on facts but on the intuitions or prejudices of ourselves or others. It is also essential to realize that decision-making is a distinctly human process. Human interaction, interpretation, and evaluation play an essential role, and because humans possess both strengths and weaknesses, good decision-making strategies need to be developed so that these strengths are promoted and the weaknesses suppressed (Mollie Lombardi, Jayson Saba, Aberdeen Group A Harte-Hanks Company.

It is difficult to make life decisions when knowing that it is all up to you to make the right choice not knowing what the outcome is. In “Gregory” by Panos Ionannides, the soldier has to decide whether to follow the headquarters or his own instincts. Furthermore, in “Just Lather, That’s All” the barber also has to make a choice in a small amount of time, to either kill Torres or not. Moreover, he has no orders to kill Torres it was his own decision to kill someone. The protagonists in “Gregory” and “Just Lather, That’s All” both face moral dilemmas throughout the stories. In the short story “Gregory” by Panos Ionannides, the soldier decides to follow his ethics. In the story “Just Lather That’s All” by Hernando Tellez, the barber has chosen to go towards his morals. Both the soldier and the barber portray that they both need to make decisions that are wise.
Many corporations struggle with bringing in quality talent into business (Paradise, 2010). Consequently, as the workforce continues to change at warp speed, talent benchmarking strategy is the biggest challenge management faces now and the next five years in all forms of succession planning (Sims, 2014). A strategy to overcome talent benchmarking is having talent reviews along with meeting notes (Sims, 2014). Documenting what took place in the talent review is essential for management to get planning underway and refer to the order of what should happen first, second, and so forth in talent management (Sims, 2014).

We are aware that an organisation’s most important resource is its people and as the airline industry faces rapidly expanding competition (PwC US, 2014), one way of keeping the competitive advantage reasonably lies in the talent they can acquire and retain (Woods & West, 2010). Psychologist have found that workers differ in productivity and therefore in value (Schmidt & Hunter, 1981). A good assessment and selection process can add a great amount of value to an organisation, or if not done correctly, the differences in value per employee can amass to a loss in billions (Schmidt et al., 1981). In this case, the unstructured interview, a poor selection method, is used. The company also relies on external recruitment services and has difficulties retaining its staff, as there is a high turnover. Long tenure employees are underperforming and
According to Noe (2012), most experts believe that the most important human resource decision makes by a leader is deciding who to hire. Manager manages the recruitment and selection process. Selection for the best candidates for the job is very important in an organization because the performance always depends on employees, the recruiting and hiring is costly and the legal obligations like mismanaging hiring has legal consequence. The main aim of employee selection is to achieve person-job fit which is identifying the knowledge, skills, abilities (KSAs), and competencies that are central to performing the job. The objective of effective selection is to decide who the right people are, by matching individual characteristics (ability, experience, and training) with the requirements of the job (DeRue & Morgeson, 2007; Kristof -Brown, Zimmermam, & Johnson, 2005). The manager will do checking for reliability and validity of the interviewer. In PPNJ Poultry & Meat Sdn Bhd, the people who manage the recruitment and selection process is the Human Resource department or staffs.

According to Shapiro and Gross (2013), ethic of profession puts the individual in need of services at the center of the decision-making process. It takes into account the standards of the profession, as well the community, personal and professional codes of the leader and organization. As a leader working within the mental and behavioral health care population, those that are being served are at the forefront when making decisions that can affect their quality of life overall. Being mindful that the consequences of the leader’s decisions can cause a backlash relating to services that individuals served receive can cause unnecessary stress, resulting in the individual value of happiness to be successful as anyone else within society.

Meaning of the Term “Competency” Competency has its origins in the Latin word 'competentia' which means is authoritative to judge as well as ―has the right to speak‖ (Caupin et al., 2006: 9). The English dictionary defines the word ‘competence’ as the state of being suitably sufficient or fit. Trying to draw a fine line between the words such as proficiency, capability, capacity, competence, competency/ competencies is even more difficult and creates confusion (see examples in Byham & Moyer, 2000; Cooper, 2000; Mirabile, 1997). Those who invested efforts in investigativing competency are immediately struck by the lack of uniform definitions, compositions, and methodologies which, of course, lead to misunderstanding, wandering,
One of the causes that influences an organization’s human resource is its strategy. A strategy refers to a plan that in place to guide business operations and activities. The business strategy then provides schedules and activities for the employee, and as a result affects the human resource. The scope is to build on qualifications and capabilities, therefore influences human resource to higher capacity while the unsuitable distribution of tasks may dampen human resource to poor results. Managers in the organization play a significant role in influencing human resource. The type of leadership structure and leadership style implemented by the organization establishes the level of encouragement that a leader and their leadership have on human resource. An ineffective leadership will fail to mobilize human resource into performing required tasks due to poor control of employees. Effective leadership influences human resource management responses to the management’s needs towards competitiveness. Ammi, F. T., & Mushatt, S.
