Many businesses or places of employment need professionals to manage employee benefits, payroll and other areas associated with personnel operations. A bachelor of business administration degree with a professional field in organizational behavior and human resource management will prepare you for many positions working with personnel, as well as other general management positions.
You may work in an educational institution, a hospital, hotel, restaurant, retail store or manufacturing company. You also may work for a labor union, a management consulting firm, a personnel supply agency such as a home health care worker service, or a temporary help employment contractor. In each profession, you may work within the human resources department, or you may work as a general manager within the corporation. The professional field in organizational behavior and human resource management will prepare you for either career path. However, to move into top management positions or to teach at a university, you may need a master’s or a doctorate degree.
