A New Approach in Human Resources Management: Boomerang Employee Example

Öz

With modern manufacturing technologies dominating existing jobs, one of the main topics discussed within the framework of various disciplines is the relationship between working life and dynamics in working life with the organization and human life. It is possible to assert that the main concepts and problems within the scope of the relevant subject reflect the socioeconomic characteristics of the historical period in which they emerged and change in tandem with these characteristics. Within the scope of this study, the policy of ex-employee reemployment, also known as the "boomerang employee" policy, which receives scant attention in the national literature, is explored. Examining contemporary studies on human resources reveals that the practice of preventing former employees from returning to the job has been reversed. Organizations have come to consider reconciling with former employees as a positive move. The inception and evolution of the boomerang employee notion, as well as the manner in which it has been the topic of academic studies, have been analyzed, and it has been asserted that these instances parallel the evolution of the job and labor markets.

İnsan Kaynakları Yönetiminde Yeni Bir Yaklaşım: Bumerang Çalışan Örneği

Öz

Modern üretim teknolojilerinin var olan işlere egemen olmasıyla başlayan süreçte çalışma hayatı ve çalışma hayatındaki dinamiklerin örgüt ve insan hayatıyla ilişkisi farklı disiplinler çerçevesinde temel olarak tartışılan konulardan birini oluşturmaktadır. İlgili konu kapsamındaki ana kavram ve sorunsalların ortaya çıktıkları tarihsel dönemin sosyo-ekonomik özelliklerini yansıttığı ve bu özelliklerin değişimine paralel değişim gösterdiğini söylemek mümkündür. Bu çalışma kapsamında ulusal literatürde kendine sınırlı alan bulabilen eski çalışanı yeniden istihdam etme, yani bumerang çalışan politikası ele alınmıştır. İnsan kaynakları ile ilgili güncel çalışmalar incelendiğinde eski çalışanın işyerine geri dönmesinden kaçınma durumunun günümüzde tersine döndüğü görülmektedir. İşletmeler, eski çalışanlarıyla tekrar bir araya gelmenin fırsat olduğu görüşünü benimsemeye başlamışlardır. Bumerang çalışan kavramının ortaya çıkma, gelişme ve akademik çalışmalara konu olma biçimleri tartışılarak bu durumların iş ve emek piyasalarındaki değişimlere paralel olduğu belirtilmiştir.
