Manpower JournalSummary: A study was conducted on recruitment policies and practices in three government-run R & D laboratories from three different departments of the Government of India. One of these laboratories was engaged primarily in project-oriented research while the other two laboratories were engaged in mission-oriented research. It was observed that recruitment and selection policies in these three laboratories were quite different. Project-oriented laboratories emphasised importance of higher education while mission-oriented laboratories demanded research experience in their recruitment policies. Educational qualification compositions of both the existing and the recently recruited manpower reflected well this differential importance given to higher education by different types of research laboratories. Though the base pay rates and average compensation outcome were same in all the three laboratories, yet the project-oriented laboratories in recruiting qualified manpower. There seems to be a need to recast and reposition the existing recruitment and reward policies in line with the job characteristics so that the disadvantaged laboratories can recruit and retain qualified professionals. - Reproduced.
