An Appraisal of the Effects of Human Resource Management Policies on Organizational Performance

Document Type : Research Paper

Abstract

Employees comprise the most important assets of organizations. Scholars believe that managing human resources are now more difficult than managing technology or capital. Organizations can improve their competitive practices by utilizing their human resources. This research is intended to asset the effects of human resource management policies on organizational performance. The population included 550 employees at the University of Police from whom 226 employees were selected as the sample group according to Morgan table. Two questionnaires (human resource management policies and organizational performance questionnaires) were used for data collection. The face validity and content validity of organizational performance and organizational performance questionnaires were confirmed by Cronbach’s alpha (0.916 and 0.910 respectively). The results indicated that recruitment, instruction, performance evaluation with compensation of employees are significantly and positively related to organizational performance. If the university is to promote its performance, it should pay more attention to recruitment and instruction. Other factors including performance evaluation, employees’ participation, and compensation of employees are also effective in the university’s promotion.
