EXECUTIVE SUMMARYTABLE OF CONTENTSINTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY:This study will be helpful to know the perception and satisfaction level of employees about HR practices and policies in the organization and also this would be a chance for them to give suggestions for the improvement in them.This study exhibits on the methodologies adopted by the organization to different HR practices based on the requirements and also certainly includes the procedures by which the employees are being assessed for various HR practices.
It is to be noted that all the existing HR practices of the organization are not studied and analyzed wherein special preference is given to Recruitment & Selection, Induction, Training & Development and Performance appraisal.PROBLEM STATEMENT:The perception and attitude of the employees have a greater impact on the success of any organization. If the employees perceive the Human Resource Practices in the positive sense, definitely it will have positive impact on the enterprise. If the employees are satisfied with the HR practices they will have positive attitude towards the management.
If the employees are not satisfied, they will have negative attitude towards the management. The attitude and perception of the employees basically depend on the job satisfaction, they derive from the organization. Job satisfaction of the employees in turn is influenced by HR practices viz., Recruitment and Selection procedure, Training and Development, Compensation methods, General working conditions, Amenities available, Perquisites and other facilities provided by the organization.In order to determine the major problems faced by the manufacturing industry, we assess the criteria of organizational performance.
Human capital is essential to the success of any industry. Qualified employees are necessary to provide superior services toward their customers. So in order to maintain employees with respect to their abilities and skills, human resource practices should be performed efficiently. OBJECTIVES OF STUDY:To investigate factors that affects organizational performance in terms of human resource perspectives.To identify areas of human resource function that company need to pay attention for in order to improve organizational performance.To study the perception of employees towards HR practices in the Organization.To determine at what extent does this HR practices impact on the achievement of organizational goals.
To examine the effectiveness of HR practices on employee job satisfaction.To determine whether selective staffing, training & development, performance appraisal is significantly related to organizational performance.HYPOTHESIS OF THE STUDY:H0: There is no significant difference in the perception of employees towards HR practices in the organization H1: There is significant difference in the perception of employees towards HR practices in the organizationH0: The independent variables (Recruitment & Selection, Training & Development, Performance appraisal) do not have significant relationship with dependent variable (organizational performance)H1: The independent variables (Recruitment & Selection, Training & Development, Performance appraisal) have significant relationship with dependent variable (organizational performance)SCOPE OF THE STUDY:Improving Human Resource Practices by learning perception of employees towards the practices.Focuses attention on practices such as Recruitment & Selection, Induction, Training & Development and Performance appraisal.Helps in deriving more understanding and expectation between HR departments and employees.

It is also stated that for effectiveness of HR practices in an organization, HR practices need to be adjusted to environmental factors such as cultural context, industry development and economy.
Consistent HR practices will deliver more consistent HR messages to employee that will give the organization the desired employee behavior. Research on Strategic HRM which is mostly based on behavioral perspectives .have given the information on importance and benefits of consistent HR practices on employee performance in the organization.
SELECTIVE HIRING (Delany and Huselid 1996) :Talents or Human Capital are essential for an organization to achieve superior outcome when compared with other companies. Selective Hiring had become one of the best human resource practices which can generate positive outcome for organization performance. In his research Delany suggested that companies can put in effort in improving quality of the individual hired, companies will be able to hire potential employees via sophisticated selection procedures.Acc. to Alleyne(2006) Selective Hiring was one of the important components in human resource best-fit model. In his research he has found out that linking selection practices of hiring with their appraisal and reward system will give best outcome.
STAFFING PRACTICES(Bjorkman and Budhwar 2007) :In this study, the researchers have acquired an idea that adoption of local HRM practices lead to superior organizational performance. Successful local Staffing practices such as succession planning, employee referrals and internal recruitment can be definitely attributed to the highest-collectivist orientation of Indian National Culture and also to better firm performance. Personality tests help identify applicants with positive project-management skills, team-building skills and an openness to learning-skills that are very essential for the dynamic and unpredictable nature of work.
Acc. to Lepak and Snell 1999 Staffing practices whether internal or external can be leveraged to enhance a firm’s sustainable competitive advantage by creating a talent pool that is very distinctive to the organization and industry. TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT(Doyle 2008) :In his research, he has studied that Training and Development will help to improve organizational performance in different ways. One of the ways is, employee’s skill is able to improve through attending training and development program. This indirectly increase employee productivity, job satisfaction and at the end reduces the number of employees resignations from the organization.
These three events increase profitability and reduce unnecessary expenses incurred by the organization. Training and Development improves skill and knowledge of existing employee and prepares them for future challenges.Acc. to Sohail Training and Development variable is an important variable in service sector. This is because service industry is an industry that consumes significant manpower. He has also proposed that providing training courses to improve their current jobs is as important as providing development courses to ensure employee ability to survive in fluctuating business environment. EMPLOYEE PERCEPTION(Gartner & Nollen 1989, Delery & Doty 1996) :In the Research, the studies were about the employee commitment and satisfaction which are not only influenced by HR practices such as internal promotion, formal training systems and results oriented appraisal but also by their perceptions of these practices and the explanation for the studies are retrieved from mechanism of organizational justice.
The two facets of organizational justice are Distributive and Procedural justice. Distributive Justice is influenced by factors such as ratings based on performance and recommendations for salary/promotion whereas management practices such as two-way communication, employee participation etc are recognized as determinants of Procedural Justice.Acc. to Folger & Konovsky 1989 The two types of justice will have different effects such that distributive justice is more important predictor of personal outcomes such as satisfaction with pay and job, whereas procedural justice is true for organizational outcomes such as organizational commitment and evaluation of supervisors.PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL(Kondrasuk, Crowell, Dillon 2008) :In their research, they have studied that there are two important purposes that organization perform performance appraisal, one is Developmental and other is Administrative. Developmental purpose helps employees to determine their performance as well as provide guideline to improve their job performance after reviewing their past performance, on the other hand Administrative purpose provides information to human resource manager to determine suitable compensation package for the employee in the next evaluation period and provides information on necessary training program to help improve job performance of employee.
Acc. to Nayyab Performance appraisal and organizational performance will go hand in hand. In this research he has studied that Individual and Organization will benefit from performance appraisal process. By motivating the employees with performance appraisal will result in effective organizational performance.ORGANIZATION SIZE, STRUCTURE AND CULTURE(Garavan 2008, Hudson 2001) :In their research study, they have acquired knowledge that Organization’s size is an important factor that explains the strength and nature of HR practices and also a firm’s strategy and structure are important in determining HR practices flexibility and integration. The extent of formal definition, centralization and formal communication, use of informal structures are some of the variables that influence HR practices.Chandrakumara and Sparrow 2004 studied that Culture is a vital significance in organizations inclination to develop suitable structures and methods for their HR practices.
Acc. to Okpara & Wynn 2008 Line Management participation in designing and implementing HR activities is the key to organizational success.TURNOVER RATE(Gustafson 2002, Ton & Huckman 2007) :In this Research, the study is all about the employee retention. Turnover Rate is an important indicator for organizational performance.
It is the calculation between the percentage of number of employee leaving compare with average of employee in organization. They have identified that turnover rate is interrelated with organizational performance as it will incur direct and indirect cost to the organization.By the research they strongly believe that departure of employee especially worker with long working experience or with specific skill which are needed by organization will incur huge losses to the organization.Acc.
to Griffeth Dissatisfaction on current job, lack of commitment to the organization, intention to leave are the reasons for employee turnover.COMPENSATION(Mess 2004, Mondy 2008, Sturman 2006) :Compensation Policy is an essential element among human resource practices.In this Research, the researchers have studied that a good compensation policy enables organization to have better employee recruitment, retention, satisfaction etc., It will create high commitment among employees. It is also studied that the amount of the reward and how the money is paid will influence future performance of employees in the company.Acc. to Namasivayam 2006 Well designed compensation systems strategically enhance organizational performance as it will be able to attract and retain more talents in companies.HRD POLICIES AND PRACTICES(Saini R R 2010) :In this study, it is identified the process and problems in designing and implementing Human Resource Development systems.
The important findings of this study were, qualification is the most important factor of recruitment at all levels of managers and employees. The researcher also observed that managers were not aware sufficiently about the functioning of HRD systems. To overcome these problems they have also suggested for a proper action plan to improve awareness, motivation and serious concern among managers about all the HRM and HRD activities in the organization.
RESEARCH DESIGN: Research Design embraces the methodology and procedures employed to conduct scientific research. The design defines the study type, data collection methods and statistical analysis plan.Research Methodology: In our study, we are using Quantitative research method.
A business research that employs empirical assessments with numerical measurement and analysis approaches to address the research objectives is known as quantitative research. We choose this method because our research will be conducted by drawing up sample in the organization. We will distribute Questionnaires to examine the relationship between human resource management practices and organizational performance. Each respondent in this survey will rate human resource practice in their organization using numeric scales.
Apart from that, our study is a Descriptive Research. It is typically concerned with determining the number of respondents with which something occurs or how two variables vary together. Sources of Data: In order to conduct a survey for our study, we will use both primary data and secondary data to get all the necessary information.Primary Data: First hand data obtained by researchers on the variables of interest for specific purpose of the study is called as primary data. In our study, we prepared a questionnaire related to independent and dependent variables in our research and asked our target respondents to provide their opinion to us.
Questionnaire used comprises both optional type and statements in Likert’s 5 point scale. The data that obtained from the respondents is the primary data. Secondary Data: The data which are gathered from the external sources like journals, internet, previously maintained records is called secondary data. In simple words, the data which is already existingIn our study, the secondary data from which we collected information are company’s records, company official website. SAMPLING DESIGN:To complete our survey effectively and accurately, sample is important to get our research question answered.
Sampling is a process of identifying representative fairly from right individuals, objects or events of the target population.Target Sample: Target sample are the individuals which researchers are interested to investigate. As our study is about the employee perception on HR practices, our target sample is employees who are working in the organization excluding the Top-Level Managers and Executives.Sampling Technique: In this Research, we used Convenience Sampling technique to select respondent from our target sample.
Convenience sampling is under non-probability sampling. Convenience sampling refers to collecting information from target sample based on the concept that whether the target respondent are convenient or available to provide response to our questionnaire. As the company is a corporate office, they will have lots of work, so we decided to use this sampling technique to prevent their work in being interrupted due to our research.Sample Size: In the study, Sample of 70 people are taken for the survey. Statistical Tool: Microsoft Excel is used for analyzing the respondents feedback for the optional type questions in the questionnaire with the help of pie, bar and line charts. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Software is used to analyze the respondents feedback for the likert scale type of questions.
Data collected from our respondents will be converted into percentage to know the frequency on each of the likert scale of the statements. PLAN OF ANALYSIS CHAPTER 1Introduction of the Topic:Organizational performance is important variable of organization. It defines existing position of the organization as well as the future prospect that the organization are facing. This is especially true for organization that relies heavily on labor work to complete their task. Manufacturing Industry is the example of labor intensive industry.
Human resource or employee is capital of organization. Human capital is also basic building block of the organization that directly contribute survival and growth of any organization. A well-managed human resource can become a source of competitive advantages that cannot be imitated by competitors.Any Industry which is related to satisfying the customer needs and requirements with its uniqueness will have the positive effect in the organization and market. To make customers happy, first and foremost organization has to establish human resource policy to manage its employees. When employees need and expectation are met they provide better service to customers and increase the brand loyalty to the company.
Although it is very difficult to measure organizational performance as different industry may use different measurement to determine them. However, it is crucial that management of manufacturing industry look into the ways to increase organizational performance based on their human capital. This is because improving knowledge, skill and abilities of employee will ultimately benefit the organization directly or indirectly.The Topic “Employee Perception towards organization’s Human Resource Practices” will give the in-depth information regarding the different perceptions and behaviors of employees working in the organization about the HR practices being performed.
It is to be noted that, the study has not covered all the existing HR practices, special preference is given to some of them like Recruitment & Selection, Induction, Training & Development and Performance Appraisal.Human Resource Practices in KIRLOSKAR ELECTRIC COMPANY:KEC recognizes its employees as the most important asset for its continued growth.
