In the 1920s, personnel administration focused on the aspects of hiring and compensating employees. However, they did not focus on any employment relationships in an organizational performance level or on the systematic relationships in any parties.

This led to a lacked unifying paradigm in the field during this period. According to an HR Magazine article, the first personnel management department started at the National Cash Register Co. in 1900. The owner, John Henry Patterson, organized a personnel department to deal with grievances and safety, information for supervisors on new laws and practices after several strikes and employee lockouts; this action was followed by other companies. This example shows the importance of effective management which leads to a greater outcome of employee satisfaction as well as encouraging employees to work together in order to achieve better business objectives. During the 1970s, American business began experiencing challenges due to the substantial increase in competitive pressures. Companies experienced globalization and rapid technological change which caused the major companies to enhance their strategic planning - a process of predicting future changes in a particular environment and focus on ways to promote organizational effectiveness.

This resulted in developing more jobs and opportunities for people to show their skills which were directed to effective applying employees toward the fulfillment of individual and organizational goals. Many years the major/minor of human resource management was created at universities and colleges known as business administration, it consists of all the activities that companies used to ensure more effective utilization of employees. Now, human resources focus on the people side of management. There are two real definitions of HRM; this means that it covers the hiring, firing and perks, performance management. This first definition is the modern and traditional version more like what a personnel manager would have done back in the 1920s; the second definition is that HRM circles the ideas of management of people in organizations from a macromanagement perspective like customers and competitors in a marketplace. This involves the focus on making the “employment relationship” fulfilling for both management and employees.

Some research showed that employees can perform at a much higher rate of productivity when their supervisor

Rangitoto Range is in the Pureora Forest Park in the North Island of New Zealand. Its main peaks are Mt Baldy and Rangitoto, it has the headwaters of the Waipa and Mokau Rivers and forms the eastern boundary of the King Country. Streams on the eastern slopes drain into the Waikato River; the ranges have the last area of native forest to be opened for logging. After protests and occupations some areas of totara and rewarewa native forests were preserved and logged areas are being restored. Endangered species present include North Island kōkako, falcon, North Island brown kiwi, blue duck and Hochstetter's frog; the Range is formed of Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous Manaia Hill Group greywacke, buried in many places by Quaternary ignimbrites. The main ignimbrite is the Ongatiti Formation, up to 150 m thick of compound, weakly to welded, including pumice-, andesite and rhyolite lavas; the ignimbrite forms round, flat-topped hills, edged by eroding banks, covered in blocks of ignimbrite, where the underlying greywacke has eroded.
