Seeking Comprehensive HR Textbooks: Which Books Offer the Best Insights for Beginners?

I have completed an MBA in HR and am presently searching for a job. I am seeking comprehensive information on HR textbooks that cover all HR topics. Could you please suggest some book titles and authors that would provide a thorough understanding of HR concepts? I am eager to gain a complete insight into the field of HR.

It was surprising to see your posting. Having completed a Master's in Business Administration specialized in HRM, how could you still await some good/standard HR textbooks to be referred to by someone else? There are thousands of texts available in the market on HR subject matters. I hereby suggest some good reference books:

1. "Essentials of Human Resource Management and Industrial Relations" (Text, Cases, and Games) by P. Subba Rao
2. "Personnel and Human Resource Management-Text and Cases" by P. Subba Rao
3. "Personnel Management" (Text & Cases) by Mamoria & Gankar
4. "What Every MBA Should Know About HRM" by S. Jayashree; all from Himalaya Publishing House.

Wishing you all the very best.

Understanding HR Through Books and Experience

HR is a vast subject. By reading books, we will know the fundamentals. Through practice and experience, knowledge slowly comes to us. However, the books prescribed to MBA-HR students are mostly sufficient for knowledge purposes.
