Strategic Human Resource Development for Enhanced Job Performance and Universities’ Competitiveness

Abstract

Human resource development strategy is considered to be an indispensable strategic tool for enhancing employee job performance and organisation’s competitiveness. The main objective of this study is to examine the strategic role of human resource development on employee performance and organisational competitiveness in private universities. A descriptive research method (Structural Equation Model (AMOS 21)) was applied, to analyse the three hundred and fifty seven (357) valid questionnaires which were completed by the academic staff of the selected universities using stratified and simple random sampling techniques. The results show closed relationships between the dependent variable and independent variables. However, the study indicated that executive advance, mentoring, research collaboration and academic linkage, organisational learning and induction/orientation have positive effects on teaching, research, innovation and community service and subsequently impact on faculty performance and organisational competitiveness.
