Impact of Human Resource Management (HRM) Practices on Teachers Performance in Golaghat District, Assam, India

Abstract

This study examines the impact of Human Resource Management (HRM) practices on the performance of teachers in colleges under Golaghat District, Assam. The research adopts a descriptive research design with analytical and descriptive approaches. Data was collected from both primary and secondary sources, including interviews and questionnaires. The study population comprised 215 teaching faculty and 24 administrative staff from four colleges in the region. A stratified random sampling technique was used to select a sample of 74 respondents. The study assessed four HRM practices: Training & Development, Performance Appraisal, Compensation Practices, and Employees Participation. Descriptive statistics were employed to analyze the data and determine the mean values of each HRM practice. Results indicate that teachers were satisfied with Training & Development practices and Compensation Practices offered by the colleges. However, their perception of Performance Appraisal was neutral, while they positively acknowledged Employees Participation policies. Regression analysis was conducted to assess the significance of the relationship between HRM practices and teachers' performance. The results revealed that the variation in teachers' performance was not adequately explained by the variation in HRM practices, with an adjusted R2 value of 0.141. The study concludes that HRM practices alone may not be sufficient to explain the variation in teachers' performance. Additional factors not considered in the model may play a more significant role in influencing teachers' effectiveness. The study also highlights the need for further research to identify other variables that could impact teachers' performance. The findings suggest that educational institutions should continuously improve and implement effective HRM practices to enhance teachers' performance and contribute to the overall success of the organization. The study contributes valuable insights to the existing literature on HRM practices and employee performance in the context of academic institutions in Golaghat District, Assam.
