Human Resource Functions

Name of the Organization and Rationale for choosing the organization

The name of the chosen organization for the analysis of human resource management is American Airlines. The American Airlines is the second largest passenger airlines in the world in terms of the miles transported, the fleet size of the passengers and the operating revenues generated by the organization. The headquarter of American Airlines is located in the Fort Worth, Texas. The company is a subsidiary of the AMR Corporation. The American Airlines has a wide and extended network of airline that is spread domestically as well as internationally and includes the scheduled flights to Latin America, North America, South America, Asia Pacific, the Caribbean and Europe (Yosef, 2005).

The rationale for choosing the organization for the analysis of their human resource management is that the company has faced some issues with their human resource management in the past years. The American Airlines has then devised some important strategies for dealing with the issues and challenges in their human resource management process.
