Organizational investment in Human Resources is an inevitable measure in pursuit of achievement of organizational goals. Organizations therefore must utilize a considerable amount of finances, materials and time in employee acquisition, maintenance and development. Despite the banking industries investing heavily in the acquisition and maintenance of its human resources, employees still quit their jobs in search of other alternatives. The objective of the present study is to establish the effect of employee demographic characteristics and selected Human Resource Management practices on employees’ intention to turnover in the Banking industry. The study population consisted of Managerial, Clerical and Direct Sales Staff from twenty five (25) commercial banks in Eldoret town, Kenya. The study sampled 387 employees from ten (10) commercial banks. Questionnaire method was used to collect data. The data obtained was processed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used in data analysis; that is, Frequencies, means, standard deviation and Percentages which were presented in tables and charts. Pearson’s Correlation analysis and Regression analysis were used to test the study hypotheses. The results of the multiple regression analysis showed that pay practices, procedural justice, marital status, education, job tenure and job position were critical factors in determining employee turnover intentions. The study recommends that banks should implement high commitment human resource management practices so as to enhance the retention of its employees.

The importance of human resource management practices has gained acceptance and wide recognition in a cross-cultural context. Several studies, examining the procedures and practices of human resource management (HRM) and its implementation aspects have emerged, and been applied in different contexts. Achieving better employee performance has been a significant focus for both private and public organisations. Hence there is need to investigate how human resource (HR) practices impact upon organizational performance. This research focuses on three HRM variables, that is, training and development, recruitment and selection and remuneration, and the impact on organizational performance. Using a survey method, data was collected from 257 employees working in commercial banks, Ikorodu. This study analysed the data using descriptive statistics like the mean, median, maximum and standard deviation toanalyse the characteristics of the variables. On the other hand, the hypotheses were tested using regression analysis. We further carry out normality test before performing regression analysis on each of the variables as shown in the following model specification, which tallies with our Research Questions, Research Objectives and Research Hypotheses. The findings revealed that training and development is positively related to organizational performance in commercial banks in Nigeria, the study concludes that, Training and Development will grants the employee’s more insight and control over their jobs. Similarly, in the case of Recruitment and Selection and organizational performance, the study concludes that, employees with good motivational package have more confidence in their capabilities, thus remaining more committed to their organisations. This in-turn boosts organizational performance. Conversely, the study reported a statistical insignificant relationship between Remuneration and organizational performance in commercial banks in Nigeria

Hours Of Work

Personnel economics drills deeply into the firm to study human resource management practices like compensation, hiring practices, training, and teamwork. Why should pay vary across workers within firms—and how “compressed” should pay be within firms? Should firms pay workers for their performance on the job or for their skills or hours of work? How are pay and promotions structured across jobs to induce optimal effort from employees? Why do firms use teams and how are teams used most effectively? How should all these human resource management practices, from incentive pay to teamwork, be combined within firms? Personnel economists offer new tools to analyze these questions—and new answers as well.

As the software engineering field has developed, much attention has focused on improving the associated technology and processes. Comparatively little thought has been given to the issue of human resource management. Some see it as central to productivity and software quality. However, little empirical research has explored the required nature of such management. This paper examines human resource management practices in the software industry in Ireland: An economy that is heavily dependent on the software sector, with a high level of foreign multinational investment. A survey of the 100 largest software organisations reveals the nature of human resource practices, and the relative unimportance attached to the management of human resources. Two of the organisations studied are selected as examples of preferred and poor practice, and more in-depth data was gathered from these companies. The authors consider that this comparative analysis reveals a difference that is central to the design of human resource strategies in the software sector: One company managed software engineers as individuals within groups, while the other focused on the management of teams.

Human Resource Management Practices

With rapid changes in the business environment, organizations are increasingly looking at their human resources as a unique asset that can provide sustained competitive advantage. Human resources are considered by many to be the most important assets of an organization for sustaining competitiveness through their products and services. It has been observed that very few employers are able to harness the full potential from their human resources. In view of this, this study examined the relationship between Human Resource Management Practices and Quality Service Delivery in the education sector in Kenya. The research was done as a case study of government sponsored secondary schools based in in Taita-Taveta County. The conceptualization in the study was guided by the various strategic human resource theories, models and the servqual model. The results show that the regression model used is significant (F=23.499; p<0.001) and that the HRM practices as measured using the five practices explain approximately 45% of the variation in service quality delivery in the education sector in Taita-Taveta county in Kenya (R2=0.448). The results show that hypotheses one, four and five of the study are supported (β=.405, p<.000;β=.321, p<.000; β= .181, p<.001 respectively) while hypotheses two and three are not (β=-.113, p=.170; β= -.508, p=.612 respectively).  The study concluded that HRM practices in the Education sector in Kenya is still undertaken with an inclination towards the traditional personnel management perspective. The study called on future research to investigate the same phenomenon using an expanded list of HRM Practices indicators and pay attention to senior executives’ perspective on the strategic role of human resources in the sector.
