CHAPTER ONE
1.1 Introduction
Human Resource Management is an invisible asset in an organization. It creates value when embedded in the operational system that enhances organizational performance and ability to deal with turbulent environment. The goal of HRM is to maximize employee’s contribution in order to achieve optimal productivity and effectiveness while simultaneously attaining individual objective and societal objectives.
As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the background upon which this study was initiated, the statement of problems that led to this study, the Aim and Objectives of the study. Others are Significance of the study, Scope of work, Research Hypothesis, Research Questions, and Limitations of the Study.
1.2 Background to the Study
The management of people within the organization has become an increasingly recognized important focus for researchers and practitioner over the past 20 years. Organizations are becoming more aware of important role human resource play in the success of their organizations to achieve financial performance. As a result, organizations are becoming more employee-centric by focusing on enhancing employees’ engagement and organizational commitment
It is important for organization to adopt human resources management (HRM) system that optimizes workforce as it enables organization to achieve competitive advantage in today’s global market economy that provides wider access to technology, finance and other resources. Pfeffer (1994) stated that firms have increasingly recognized the potential for their people to be a source of competitive advantage. Creating competitive advantage through people requires careful attention to the practices that best leverage these assets. According to Nishii, (2008) scholars generally agree that appropriately designed, Human resources management practices can enhance organizational performance. Related theories suggesting and supporting assumption holds that the practices of Human Resources Management influences employees’ attitudes and behaviours.
Human Resource Management is an invisible asset in an organization. It creates value when embedded in the operational system that enhances organizational performance and ability to deal with turbulent environment. Effective HRM assists in developing human resources into high quality and efficient workforce thus enabling the organization to obtain a competitive advantage through their people. In contrast, inefficient workforce can increase labour cost and decrease organization productivity. However, in order to remain competitive, grow and diversify, an organization must ensure that its employees are qualified, placed in appropriate position, properly trained, managed effectively and committed to the firm’s success. The goal of HRM is to maximize employees contribution in order to achieve optimal productivity and effectiveness while simultaneously attaining individual objective (such as having a challenging job) and obtaining recognition) and societal objectives (such as legal compliance and demonstrating social responsibility).
Human resource dimensions or practices (training, recruitment, reward system performance appraisal etc) have considerable impact on the performance of organizations and these contribute to the affirmative link between human resource management and organizational performance (Osman, 2012).
Human resources are considered the most valuable assets of any organization but very few organizations are able to fully harness its potential. While human resources refer to individuals who make up the workforce of an organization, Human Resources Management is defined as a very critical and imperative function that operates within an organization. This function classified into recruitment, compensation, development related to the organization, safety, motivation of employee, benefit wellness, communication and training, performance management and all other activities that are associated with goal achievement of the organization (Ayesh, 2012).
Neo (2007) defines human resource management as composed of policies, practices and system that influence employees’ behavior, attitude and performance. Oladipo (2011) opines that having the right personnel at the right place and at the right time is utmost important to survival and success of any organization.
The Human Resource department is tasked with reviewing the organizations, HR practices and recommending policy changes, where necessary. As a part of review, academic qualifications of the staff were harmonized without further discrimination between Degree holders and Higher National Diploma, Certificate holder, training programs were organized for all categories of staff. Employees who lacked basic skills and qualifications could not be retained were laid off, whilst a rigorous recruitment process was instituted to attract skilled personnel for the various departments.
