Trends in Secondary and Primary Data

Human resource aspect being in the field of business is prone to frequent changes. The primary data seems to recognize the trends such as motivation skills and team player, unlike the secondary data. Therefore, it is evident that primary data is more reliable than secondary data.

Both types of data have provided relatively adequate information that can be used in the recruitment and selection of the human resource manager. For example, each aspect has some traits that are required for the job vacancy. For example, multitasking and handling several tasks at once, personal management skills and academic qualification. Therefore, both secondary and primary data are dependable.

 Differences

There is a wide difference in the secondary and primary data in the field of human resource management (Ishrat, 2015, p. 45). This is because of the human resources internal sources which are not available externally. For example, on the aspect of academic qualification, the secondary source provides master’s degree in human resource management as the minimum entry whereas primary source goes for a bachelor degree in human resource management.
