Abstract:
The basic aim of this study is to present and examine environmental factors affecting human resource activities, in an organization which based upon a research conducted on EPUC. Environmental factors that affect human resource management (HRM) activities were divided into two, as internal and external elements. The data for the research were gathered with a survey, and analyzed with various statistical methods. Accordingly, it was achieved that, organizations take these internal and external elements into consideration in a high or at least moderate level in general. Moreover, it was found that, "priorities of top management", "legislations/regulations" and "qualities of employees" are the top factors affecting HRM activities. The results demonstrate the fit for internal factors and fit for external factors. Also, it was found that, internal and external environmental factors are significantly associated. Thus, HRM activities are closely integrated with environmental elements, which, should always be considered.
