Coordination management in new human resource management tendencies

Managers in organizations, at all levels of management, are responsible for determining the true capabilities of employees. Modern managers are proactive and represent so-called transformational leaders. Thanks to the qualities and skills, a transformational leader may be able to select the right people, ie "workers" for the right jobs, determining their abilities and adequate motivation. The subject of the research in the paper presents new leadership tendencies that modern managers have in terms of human resource coordination. The paper aims to identify, based on the analysis of relevant literature and the results of some of the significant practical research conducted, specific management-coordination activities which depend on national and business culture. The authors will compare the management activities in Japan, America and Serbia – the last of which is taken as a small country that significantly differs from Japan and America in its characteristics.
