Introduction

As in every enterprise, also for SME there is a need for a good quality management

of human resources, but knowing their importance we will try to evaluate best

alternatives that a business sta will work in practice. The sector of micro enterprises

together with the sector of medium enterprises, are calculated as pre-conditions

for the country development, especially of Kosovo which is in the transition phase.

Having in mind those development goals of a country, and in this case Kosovo,

without necessary space of human resources in managing SME, we will not have

even the basic pre-conditions for a successful management.

One of the internal factors of enterprise is made by people, which is one of the posts

that had and is continuing to have a very important role in the enterprise ecosystem

(Zeqiri, 2006, 271). Managers are realizing their goals with their sta and by using

physic and professional e orts in positions and in certain places. Managers cannot

do everything by themselves, but they must hire other people, even only for the

case to help them. Human resources have vital importance for the success of the

organizational activity.

Human resources management

Management of human resources is concentrated in sources and directed mainly

in the needs of the management to secure necessary human sources for the

organization. In the beginning, management of human resources deals with only

some cases that are connected with organizational employers, for example, hiring

them, payment, work. But, today we have a whole evolution of human resources

management, where this process includes some functions that have to deal with the

sta , development, compensation, health and security, governing of work relations.

Management of human resources includes human resources planning, recruiting

and selection, performance evaluation, compensation and holding e ective relations
