Influence of human resource planning on performance of firms listed in the Nairobi Securities Exchange in Kenya

The study sought to determine the influence of human resource planning on firm performance of firms listed in the Nairobi Securities Exchange in Kenya. The study was anchored on human capital theory and shareholder value maximization theory. The research design used was a cross-sectional survey while the study population constituted all the 68 listed firms at the Nairobi Stock Exchange (NSE) as in May 2017. The target population included the head of human resources and finance directors in all the listed firms. The sample size comprised of 136 respondents, and data was collected through structured questionnaires to meet the objectives of the study. Responses were tabulated, coded, and processed by the use of a computer Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) to analyze the data. Both descriptive and inferential statistical techniques were used to analyze the data. To test hypotheses, a simple linear model was used to test significance between the independent and dependent variable. The study findings revealed that the relationship between human resource planning and firm performance was positive and statistically significant and hence rejected the null hypothesis. The study concluded that the type and strategy of the firm, succession planning, matching skills with jobs and skills inventory are human resource planning indicators influencing the performance of firms listed in the NSE. It is therefore recommended that firms should continue to practice and maintain adequate human resource planning as it plays a fundamental role in achieving the objectives of the organizations.

Sectional Analysis

Seventy-five practicing auditors participated in the study which measured their needs using a modification of the Steers and Braunstein (1976) Manifest Needs Questionnaire. ANOVA and nonparametric statistics were used to compare the needs profiles of the auditors across their ranks in the firm (Staff, Senior, Managers, and Partner). Only the need for achievement varied systematically with position in the organization. These results are consistent with prior studies of needs as motivators. Suggestions are made for CPA firms to incorporate needs considerations into their human resource planning.

And Performance

Corporate governance has become a popular topic in the international scene. The recent financial scandals (Enron, Parmalat, Tyco, and WorldCom) have increased the interest on the relationship between Corporate Governance and performance, due to its apparent importance for the economic health of companies and its effect on society in general. The paper aims to verify a possible relationship between the corporate governance of Italian listed companies and their financial performance. Creating a quality index for corporate governance, called CGQI, we will try to understand if a good corporate governance can lead to better firm results. The target population is composed of all Italian companies listed on the Italian Stock Exchange, in the year 2012. The cross-sectional regression highlights two important results: the negative correlation between Tobin’s q and CGQI, and the positive correlation between Return on Equity and CGQI. It is possible to extend the analysis both temporally and spatially, with a comparison between different countries, considering that our index is constructed on the basis of corporate governance guidelines of different countries
