An evaluation of current human resource management practices in selected organisations within Ejisu-Juaben municipalities

Abstract

This study was to look at the current human resource management practices in selected organisations within the Ejisu-Juaben municipalities of Ghana. The objectives were to investigate the awareness of current human resource management (HRM) practices among employees of organisations within the municipalities; identify the level of HRM practices among organisations within the municipalities; assess the extent HRM practices affect the level of productivity in organisations within the municipalities and ascertain the challenges of HRM practices among organisations within the municipalities. Primary data was collected from 40 managerial leaders of the selected firms in the Ejisu-Juaben municipality via the use of a questionnaire. It was found that the managers of these organisations were aware of current HRM practices. Quite a number of these were practised to a large extent and this among others helps to motivate workers, get them committed and help them achieve the goals of the organisations.
