20.500.12556/DKUM-94272 Muckrakıng through the novel Upton Sınclaır’s The Jungle and the early hıstory of human resources management Razkrinkavanje skozi roman Upton Sinclairov “The Jungle” in zgodnja zgodovina upravljanja s človeškimi viri Background and Purpose: This study is based on the assumption that the novel, which is a modern narrative form, reflects the canon of the period in which it was written. In this context, the study tries to show how human resources management practices were carried out in large-scale industrial units in a period when the human resources management function was not specialized, with The Jungle novel by Upton Sinclair. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study is based on a typology that Bruce E. Kaufman used while describing the early history of US HRM. Kaufman lists fourteen factors that characterize early HRM. One of them is the revealing activities of the Progressive movement. Therefore, the novel is considered here as a means of disclosure. Designed on this basis, the study analyses The Jungle novel around the following themes: the foreman’s empire, child labour, occupational health and safety, wages, job insecurity, career, and the blue-collar/white-collar divide. Results: The novel shows that although the scale of manufacturing units grew in the early 1900s, human management practices were not yet institutionalized and specialized. Therefore, HRM routines are carried out with the arbitrary attitude of foremen, wages are below the natural wage level, child labour is widely used, and there is a working life full of risks in terms of occupational health and safety. Conclusion: When the narrative of the novel about human management is read in parallel with the academic studies describing the period, the parallelism between the two narratives shows why the novels can be used as material for academic studies. Ozadje in namen: Ta študija temelji na predpostavki, da roman, ki je sodobna pripovedna oblika, odraža kanon obdobja, v katerem je bil napisan. V tem kontekstu študija poskuša prikazati, kako so bile prakse upravljanja s človeškimi viri izvajane v velikih industrijskih enotah v obdobju, ko funkcija upravljanja s človeškimi viri še ni bila specializirana, z romanom “The Jungle” avtorja Uptona Sinclaira. Načrt/ Metodologija/ Pristop: Študija temelji na tipologiji, ki jo je Bruce E. Kaufman uporabil pri opisu zgodnje zgodovine upravljanja s človeškimi viri v ZDA. Kaufman našteje štirinajst dejavnikov, ki zaznamujejo zgodnje upravljanje s človeškimi viri. Eden od njih je razkrivanje dejavnosti gibanja Progressive. Zato je roman tukaj obravnavan kot sredstvo razkrivanja. Na tej osnovi študija analizira roman “The Jungle” okoli naslednjih tem: cesarstvo nadzornika, otroško delo, varnost in zdravje pri delu, plače, negotovost zaposlitve, kariera in delitev med modrim ovratnikom in belim ovratnikom. Rezultati: Roman kaže, da čeprav se je obseg proizvodnih enot v zgodnjih 1900-ih povečal, prakse upravljanja s človeškimi viri še niso bile institucionalizirane in specializirane. Zato se rutine upravljanja s človeškimi viri izvajajo z arbitrarnim odnosom nadzornikov, plače so pod naravno ravnjo plač, otroško delo je široko razširjeno, delovno življenje pa je polno tveganj v smislu varnosti in zdravja pri delu. Zaključek: Ko se pripoved romana o upravljanju s človeškimi viri bere vzporedno z akademskimi študijami, se vzporednost med obema pripovedima kaže, zakaj se romani lahko uporabljajo kot gradivo za akademske študije. human resources management practices early history of human resources management Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle prakse upravljanja s človeškimi viri zgodnja zgodovina upravljanja s človeškimi viri Upton Sinclairov “The Jungle” true true true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2025-08-12 11:47:44 2025-08-12 11:47:44 2025-08-13 03:12:48 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 str. 99-112 issue 1 Vol. 57 2024 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2024-01-01 005.95/.96 245437955 10.2478/orga-2024-0007 1318-5454 https://organizacija.fov.um.si/sl/stevilke/let-57-st-1-2024/ 1 65bfc6a5-7761-11f0-a28d-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=195134 RAZ_Man_Fuat_2024.pdf RAZ_Man_Fuat_2024.pdf 1 3B097EBBFEA83A9A4EA270EA3034383C 7b083a2d67d14dc0f5c7b7d03a3980a39f1cef8c00a0d157d137fb592ea44e2a f7ee784b-7761-11f0-a28d-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=195135 Fakulteta za organizacijske vede Organizacija 0 0 0
