This text undertakes a discussion on how the requirements of standardized quality management systems (SQMS) determine the range and the manner of human resource management in organizations. Attention is paid to two basic matters. All requirements relating to human resource management in SQMS concern exclusively staff performing work that influences the meeting of requirements involving the product. The question of how the situation of the workers of such organizational units looks where direct influence on the meeting of product requirements is difficult to examine (e.g. accounting departments) may also be raised. Should they be subject to the same management practices or not?
