Abstract

This study examined the relationship between the employee perception and the human resource management practices in the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation, and looked at how employees perceived differently with respect to the HRM variables in terms of demographical factors such as gender, age, educational level and experience. A cross- sectional survey was conducted with a convenience sample of three groups of composite employees, namely, drivers and conductors (i.e. 229), technical staff (i.e.52), and administrative staff (i.e.37). The results indicated that the employee perceptions have a significant influence on their human resource management practices.The study further found that male participants perceived their human resource management practices significantly more positive than their female counterparts. Employees with degrees were significantly more positive about the level of employee participation than the participants with diploma qualifications. Respondents in the exploitation management department were significantly more positive about their human resource management practices. With the result of ANOVA, the variation in the perceptions of the respondents on human resource management factors was significant with the null hypothesis except promotion factor and job designing factor. From the ranking of human resource management factors, corporation should concentrate to mainly on employee motivation and wages and salary increase.
