Personnel Planning and Leadership as Central Personnel Economic Instruments

Abstract

Economic activity always involves the allocation of scarce goods to competing uses. Among these scarce goods is also the personnel of the enterprise. Personnel economics therefore also has to make such allocation decisions with respect to the availability of personnel and with respect to the functionality of personnel. For this purpose, two sets of instruments are used, namely personnel planning and leadership. This article is dedicated to a selection of such in-struments. Beyond selected relevant basics of personnel planning and leadership, this article introduces hierarchical personnel planning and the conception of fuzzy rule systems for the selection of appropriate leadership styles.
