...Journal of Diversity Management – Second Quarter 2010 Volume 5, Number 2 Impact Of Job Analysis On Job Performance: Analysis Of A Hypothesized Model Rehman Safdar, Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA), Pakistan Ajmal Waheed, Quaid-e-Azam University, Pakistan Khattak Hamid Rafiq, National University of Modern Languages, Pakistan ABSTRACT Researchers have developed a relationship between HRM practices and organizational performance, but the relationship between HRM practice like job analysis – employee Job performance remains unexplored. This paper, based on a study of employees of Pakistan Public sector regulatory authorities of telecommunication, oil and gas, power, media, security exchange, banking sector and organizations being regulated by these authorities is an attempt to develop and test a hypothesized model linking HR importance of job analysis with employee job performance. Survey results of 568 employees indicated that practice of job analysis was strongly related to employee job performance. The findings suggest that an organisation-wide policy of job analysis is an important source of competitive advantage in its own right, and requires due attention of HR professionals. The study extends the findings of the HR–employee job performance research pursued in Western countries to a non-Western context.

...areas: law, human resources management, leadership, accounting, finance, economics, research and statistics, operations management, marketing, and strategic planning. Each of these components has a very specific role and level of importance within a given organization. Even though it’s hard to measure one against another, some functional areas of business are more of a driving force than others. The two catalysts of success for managers begin with human resources management and leadership. In the last several years, “(CEOs) have increasingly emphasized the need for their firms to effectively attract, motivate, develop and retain talent (Wright, 2011, p. 93).” This role is filled by the human resources management team (HRM). This management role is tremendously challenging and forged with various members within the organization, mostly with managers. This is due in part because the HRM team staffs the manager with prospective employees. The HRM staff have a crucial role within the organization to hire “employees who share the company values, proving their expertise in business and an appropriate moral profile (Cruceru, 2010, p. 80).” HRM teams need to consider this when making all of their decisions, and making sure they have the hiring manager in mind so proper fit can be attained. The most important goal for the HRM team is not getting prospective top notch employees through the door, it’s retaining the staff once acquired. The importance of retention is imperative...

...Cindy Following on from our recent discussion, I appreciate your openness about the current situation and for the opportunity to justify the importance of Human Resources (HR) as a value added function, especially as we move towards a new corporate structure. If correctly aligned to the business strategy, HR is critical in ensuring the success of the transition. Under Arnold’s leadership, the focus was to operate as a “one family company”, with HR was responsible for organising expensive leadership programs and sales conferences. There is a lot more to the role of HR than what the Board understands. Let me explain – 1. Using your knowledge of HR strategy, provide a rationale for the contribution of HR to the change process in this corporate context. With the impact of globalisation and the need to remain competitive, companies have had to reassess various departmental activities to meet new organisational objectives (Lawler & Mohrman, 2003). A new strategic role for HR is one of these changes. Cabrera & Bonache (as cited in Lengnick-Hall et al., 2009) argued that Human Resource Management (HRM) practices are an essential part of a company’s corporate business strategy. Combining business strategy and people management together creates a new set of responsibilities, a bigger challenge for HRM and an increase in HR deliverables (Conner & Ulrich, 1996). Therefore, HR professionals must concentrate more on HR strategy, and move away from the traditional...

(2001), Management Accounting & Strategic Human Resource Management, Wright & McMahan (1992) had defined human resources as the pool of employees under the firm’s control in a direct employment relationship. In a more simple word, human resources also known as labors, which is one of the four factors of production. An organization’s human resources should be managed to maximize return on investment in the organization’s human capital and minimize financial risk by aligning skilled and qualified individuals to the organization’s ongoing and future business plans.

With many of the companies thinking over the issue, it has become very important to evaluate the scope of social media in the field of HR so as to leverage the share of HR as a business partner.

But now as the importance of the aspect of people has sparked, the corporate world needs to emphasize on this differentiating function. Sandwiched between the management and the employees, the HR department forms the crux of a corporate. So, the transformation that needs to come through this function shall be of great importance.

...A Brief Overview of Human Resource Management Issues in the Public Sector Kurt Sager University of New Mexico Abstract This paper is based on interviews with professionals in the human resources and management/supervisory fields soliciting their views as to what they considered to be the main issues confronting them in their jobs from a human resource management point of view. Open ended questions were asked of each respondent in an effort to solicit knowledgeable responses from informed sources. Although human resources and management issues are diverse and seemingly innumerable, a few basic issues rose to the forefront during the separate interview sessions. These basic issues are discussed in some depth, and a short work biography is given for each respondent with the intention of putting the basic issues mentioned in context to the interviewees’ respective work situations. Keywords: human resources, recruitment, retention, training, legal compliance, politics A Brief Overview of Human Resource Management Issues in the Public Sector Respondent Introductions Since the topics discussed in this paper were taken directly from responses gleaned from face-to-face interviews with a Human Resources Director and two managerial level supervisors, a brief description of their respective work environments, positions and responsibilities may help the reader understand relationship(s) between...

...reliable employees. Human resource planning plays a pivotal role in helping reduce employee turnover and retention. To motivate, retain and keep employees focused on the organization’s purpose, implementing effective strategies and policies will help tackle the challenges of employee retention. Managing Employee Retention Human resource planning plays a pivotal role in the effective management of employees to improve employee retention. Poor planning can result in discouraged employees and high turnover rates. The ability of managers and organizations to perform effectively becomes stagnant, creating a negative impact on operations. Employee retention can be difficult to achieve, and managers are more likely to have problems managing employees effectively if not planned well (Arnold, 2005). Developing effective employee retention strategies can have a positive impact on an organization’s ability to retain employees. Implementing effective human resource management strategies and policies can establish and maintain an appropriate culture in an organization. Applying the proper strategies and policies for human resource planning in organizational culture, employee selection and placement, compensation, training, development, and appraisal, it will enable operating managers to improve the likelihood of successfully retaining employees. Human Resource Planning Human resource planning is arguably the most important human resource function for operating...

...whether directly (compensation) or indirectly (benefits) (Katz, 2012). A strong and competitive compensation and benefits package is a powerful instrument for attracting and retaining the best talent. The development of a flexible compensation and benefits plan has an impact on employee retention and recruiting activities. The goal is to design the compensation and benefits package to attract qualified and talented applicants, as well as retain the current employees that are important and bring value to the organization. Reducing Turnover with a Compensation Strategy HR Function. HR serves in a consultative capacity to the managers and leaders of the organization and is responsible for the implementation of activities or policies in staffing, recruitment, data analysis, reward and recognition, and advising with regard to federal law compliance (Pophal, 2010). The human resource function “serves to align the wants and needs of the employee with the wants and needs of the employer” (Rothwell, Prescott, and Taylor, 2008). Recruitment and retention should be the main focus of HR and if not effectively managed can prove to be a huge risk to the organization. Another function of human resources is creating the employee compensation and benefits package and making sure that the compensation and benefits strategy aligns with both the HR strategy and the firm’s organizational strategy. Reducing Turnover. The compensation package design “should be based on a company’s pay philosophy...

...Intellectual Assets: Moving Beyond a Firm’s Tangible Resources SUMMARY/OBJECTIVES One of the key trends today is the emergence of the importance of the knowledge worker in today’s economy. It is critical for managers to not only recognize the importance of top talent but also the need to leverage human capital in order to innovate and, in the end, to develop products and services that create value. This chapter is divided into four sections. 1. The first section focuses on the increasing role of knowledge as the primary means of wealth generation in today’s economy. After all, in the New Economy a firm’s value is based much more on knowledge, know-how, and intellectual assets — not the traditional factors of production (i.e., labor and capital). 2. The second section addresses the key resource itself — human capital — the foundation for the creation of intellectual capital. We explore ways in which the organization can attract, develop, and retain human capital as well as the importance of recognizing the interdependence of these three activities. We also address the value of a diverse work force. 3. Third, we discuss the critical role of social capital, that is, the network of relationships among individuals. We address both social capital within organizations as well as across organizations. 4. The final section focuses on the role of technology in leveraging human capital. This can range from such basic technologies...
