Which of the following is an HRM function for a community association?

• A. Investing, portfolio management
• B. Recruiting, screening, and selecting people
• C. Developing marketing campaigns
• D. Maintaining facility grounds

Answer: (B)

Human resource management focuses on the people who run and support the organization. In a community association, this means tasks related to staffing: finding the right people, evaluating their qualifications, and bringing them on board. Recruiting gathers potential candidates, screening checks their qualifications and fit, and selecting makes the final hiring decision. This set of activities is what HRM covers, because it centers on acquiring and managing personnel to meet the association’s needs.

Investing or portfolio management deals with money and financial assets, not people. Developing marketing campaigns is about promoting the association or its services. Maintaining facility grounds is a maintenance or operations task. So the staffing-focused activities—recruiting, screening, and selecting people—fit the HRM function best.
