Subsystems in HRM 
  
 
Every system has subsystem which are arranged and interconnected 
in a particular way. Each subsystem is identified by certain objective, 
processes, roles and norms of conduct. HRM being a system, contains 
various subsystems which are linked to each other. See Fig. 3.1.

The various subsystems are connected to each other and all 
subsystems are connected to the main system viz., HRM system. Each 
subsystem contributes to the main system and to the organization as a 
whole. If a particular sub-system does not work properly it has negative 
impact over other subsystems, just like defective part in a machine spoils 
other parts and renders the machine ineffective. There should be proper 
balancing among different subsystems of HRM. 
Every subsystem will have further subsystems. Important among 
various sub systems are the following.
