In the presented diploma thesis I am addressing human resources management (HRM) in construction companies and the application of different tools that are applicable for HRM. I have analyzed HRM as a set of processes identified by the literature addressing HRM as a tool used to increase productivity, efficiency and effectiveness of employees, teams, and organizations. For these processes, a review of their possible implementation in the construction sector has been carried out using mainly the available international literature. The thesis provides an assessment of key HRM tools and examples of their use specifically for the construction activities. This thesis presents the results of the study which was carried out by means of a questionnaire regarding the field of HRM among construction companies in Slovenia. Another study was performed to determine the personal characteristics of the students of the University of Ljubljana using the "Strength Deployment Inventory" method. Key results of the thesis address the issue of HRM in the construction sector and are supported mainly by foreign literature. The results of the studies show some specific characteristics in human resources management in the construction sector in Slovenia. The study on personal characteristics of civil engineering students also provided some specific results. It is recommended that the studies be enhanced especially by increasing the sample size
