Human Resource Management Practices in the Church: A Study of the H.R. Practices in the Church of God Reformation Movement in Barbados examines the crucial role of Human Resource Management in the people-focused Church ministry. Service organizations, such as the Church, have little to sell but their good service, which makes them uniquely dependent on their employees and volunteers attitudes and motivations and on good H.R. management practices.

In this book, Rev. Lionel L. Gibson has sought to ascertain through proper research methods and due diligence the degree of presence or absence of HRM practices in the Church and the likely effect this may have on Church management.
