This definition mainly talks about the managerial functions of HRM or personnel management.
Human Resources Management is the art and science of acquiring, motivating, maintaining and developing people in their jobs in light of their personal, professional and technical knowledge, skills, potentialities, needs and values and in synchronization with the organization philosophy, resources and culture for the maximum achievement of individual ,organization, and society's goals. The process implies five functions of management which are planning, organizing, staffing, directing and controlling. HRM deals only with people so that they can manage other resources in their domain of responsibility efficiently and effectively.

I agree with this definition, it is not so technical and it emphasizes that human resources is an important factor of an organization. In fact it sees HRM as an art and science of how to get and keep people in their job. It also talks about the five functions of HRM, and I think that this functions are common to all definitions of HRM.
HRM and Personnel Management are synonymous, it is a body of officers and staff who take charge of the affairs and operations of an organization, vested with the power and endowed with the functions of determining the human resources needs of the whole structure of the and filling the different position with the right people for the job. With this goes the function of developing the skills of the personnel, rewarding them for achievement and evaluating their performance for movement in rank and compensation.

Definition three states that HRM and personnel management is just the same. It explains that HRM is a body of officers that has the power of determining the needs of the human resources. I think the author is right in mentioning that this body also includes the function of developing the skills of the personnel, rewarding them for achievement and evaluating their performance for movement in rank and compensation.
A nice portion of this definition that really strikes me in is that "filling the different position with the right people for the job". For me, this is what HRM means, finding the right people for the right position developing and keeping them for the progress of the individual, society and of course the organization.
Personnel Management maybe defined as the function of management concerned with promoting and enhancing the development of work effectiveness and advancement of the human resources in the organization through proper planning, organizing, directing, coordinating and controlling of activities related to procurement, development, motivation and compensation of employees to achieve the goals of the enterprise. These functions have several components interrelated with and supplementing one another in the operations of the business.

This definition is just the same with definition one, it is mainly concerned with the functions of HRM to the organization which I think is really important.
Human Resource Management encompasses those activities designed to provide for and coordinate the human resources of an organization. The human resources of an organization represents one of its largest investments. HRM is a modern term for what has been traditionally referred as personnel administration or personnel management. However, some experts believe human resource management differs from traditional personnel management. They see personnel management as being much narrower and more clerically oriented than human resource management.

This definition differentiates HRM and personnel management, the differentiation I think is correct because I believe that personnel is much narrower than HRM. In fact from what I have learned personnel management is a part of HRM as a whole.
