Tujuan Manajemen Sumber Daya Manusia (SDM)

Menurut Wherther dan Davis (1993:11) menyatakan bahwa tujuan dari manajemen sumberdaya manusia (SDM) adalah :
a. Societal objective. To be ethically and sosially responsible to the needs and challange of society while minimizing the negative impact of such demand upon thr organization
b. Organizational objective. To recognize that human resource management exists to contribute to organizational effectiveness. Human resource management is not an end in itself; it is only a means to assist the organization with its primary objectives. Simply stated, the departement exists to serve the rest of the organization
c. Functional objective. To maintain the department’s contribution at a level appropriate to the organization’s needs. Resourcesare wasted when human resource management is more or less sophisticated than the organization demand. The department’s level of service must be tailored to the organization it serve
d. Personal objective. To assisst employees in achieving their personal goal, at least insofar as these goals enhance the individual’s contribution to the organization. Personal objective of employees must be met if workers are to be maintained, retained, and motivated. Otherwise, employee performance and satisfaction may decline, and employees may leave the organization
