Purpose – This paper aims to assess the relationship between Islamic human resource practices and organizational performance. Design/methodology/approach – The simple random technique on 300 Islamic organizations in Malaysia was used. In all, 120 completed questionnaires were returned, but only 114 were usable. Findings – There are some positive and significant relationships between Islamic human resource practices and organizational performance. Basically, there is only one Islamic human resource practice, namely, training and development practice, that is positively and significantly related to organizational performance. Research limitations/implications – This study is only limited to the Islamic organizations that are implementing Islamic human resource practices in total. Thus, the findings could only be generalized to this type of institution. Practical implications – Thus, the Islamic organizations should emphasize on this practice to obtain higher organizational performance. Social implications – Islamic human resource practices emphasize on the instillation of Islamic values in the practices that are universal in this world. Thus, through its implementation, the betterment of the society will be obtained in terms of psychology, moral and spiritual aspects. Cooperation, teamwork and harmony could also be steadfast not only in the organizations but also in the society. Originality/value – There are few studies done on finding the relationship of Islamic human resource practices and organizational performance. Thus, this paper provides some empirical findings on this matter.

The objective of the present study is to examine the impact of human resource management (HRM) practices on organizational performance. Knowledge management (KM) practices as a moderator in the relationship between HRM practices and organizational performance are studied by developing a conceptual model. Using a structured survey instrument, the data were collected from 979 employees from 10 hospitals in the southern part of India (Tiruchirappalli District of Tamil Nadu). After thoroughly checking the instrument’s measurement properties using the LISREL, hierarchical regression was performed to test the hypotheses. The results support (a) compensation and rewards, performance appraisal and learning culture that are positively and significantly related to organizational performance; (b) recruitment and selection, training and development that are not significantly related to organizational performance; and (c) KM practices that moderate the relationship between (a) training and development and organizational performance, and (b) learning culture and organizational performance. Finally, the implications for HRM and KM are discussed.

Many studies have focused on direct link between HRM practices and organizational performance. There is a strong relationship between these two variables that driven further research to identify the mechanism through which such relationship exists. Following resource-based view (RBV), the aim of this research was to investigate the indirect effect of organizational innovation on HRM practices-performance linkage. Data was collected from owners/managers of manufacturing SMEs in West Malaysia. 331 (60.5%) distributed questionnaires were received and analyzed through PLS-SEM. Out of six hypotheses on mediation, only one hypothesis was rejected. The findings strongly supported the RBV theory when organizational innovation significantly mediated the relationship. These results clearly indicate that organizational innovation plays an intermediate role between HRM practices (i.e. communication and information sharing, compensation, selection, performance appraisal, and training and development) and organizational performance of SMEs.

Purpose Present day organizations are considering workforce diversity as one of the main challenges in the human resource management. This study aims to find out the relationship between diversity management (DM) in the context of strategic human resource management (SHRM) and organizational performance (OP). An attempt is made to find out the mediation effect of cognitive diversity (CD) and affective diversity (AD) in the relationship between DM and OP. Design/methodology/approach The constructs investigated in the present study include DM, OP, CD and AD. Structural equation modeling has been used to test the model fit. The data was collected from 50 human resource professionals working in different organizations in the information technology (IT) sector in Bangalore, India. Confirmatory factor analysis has been used for establishing the reliability. Findings The results show that there exists a significant relationship between DM and OP. This significant positive relationship can be attributed to the mediating role of CD and significant negative relationship is because of the AD. Research limitations/implications This study has several limitations. In this study, only three DM practices have been considered. The generalization of the results is another limitation as the study has been conducted in the IT sector in Bangalore, India. Similarly, sample size also affects the implications of an empirical study and sample size in this study is small. This study has investigated only the impact of two aspects of diversity, cognitive and affective, while neglecting the effect of communicational and symbolic processes. Practical implications The results indicate that organizations must consider that by providing intercultural trainings (ICTs), work–life balance (WLB) and work-time flexibility options, the negative aspects of diversity can be minimized. Moreover, organizations should encourage the task conflict which leads to better decision-making as well as creates a sense of group identification, which may help in the avoidance of negative consequences of AD. Originality/value This study is undertaken to find out the effect of certain diversity-oriented SHRM practices such as flexible working times, WLB, ICT and its impact on the OP in the Indian IT industry. This study has investigated the mediating role of CD and AD on the relationship between diversity-oriented SHRM practices and OP, which is the novelty of this study. Third, the study has been undertaken considering that there is a dearth of research on the impact of AD and CD on OP in the Indian context.

Purpose Despite the fact that previous studies have identified a possible mediator (organizational climate) in the HRM practices-HR outcomes link, the role of organizational climate as a mediator has, however, not been accorded the respect it deserves in the HRM practices-HR outcomes relationship. Moreover, studies on organizational climate are still scarce and have often focused on western organizations. The purpose of this paper, among others, is to examine the direct effect of HRM practices on the HR outcomes within the context of Libyan organizations. It further investigates whether organizational climate mediates the influence of HRM practices on the HR outcomes within the context of Libyan organizations. Design/methodology/approach This paper uses multiple regression analysis on a sample of Libyan organizations. Findings Regarding the findings, first, the paper finds that organizations that adopt HRM practices, such as performance appraisal, compensation and rewards and HR planning achieve significant HR outcomes. The finding also indicates that recruitment and selection and training and development are not good predictors of HR outcomes in the organization. Finally, the study reveals that the influence of HRM practice dimensions such as performance appraisal, compensation and reward and HRP on organizational performance is mediated by the presence of organizational climate; on the other hand, organizational climate fails to mediate the influence of both recruitment and selection and training and development on the HR outcomes. This study suggests that not all HRM practices are influenced by organizational climate of the organizations in Libya, and this may be due to the present environmental situation in Libya. Originality/value The study is deemed as an initial attempt to investigate the mediating effect of organizational climate on the relationship between HRM practices and HR outcomes in the Libyan public organizations. This finding acts as a springboard for further research and a wake-up call to the organizations in Libya to evaluate the importance of organizational climate in achieving HR outcomes in a volatile environment.

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
