Background of the Study
Human Resource Management (HRM) practices are designed to manage and maximize the potential of employees within an organization (Akinola & Musa, 2023). The importance of HRM practices, including recruitment, training, performance management, and employee development, cannot be overstated, as they are directly linked to the overall performance of an organization. Zenith Bank, one of Nigeria’s leading commercial banks, relies on HRM practices to ensure that its workforce is competent, motivated, and aligned with the bank’s objectives (Emeka & Nwachukwu, 2024).
The relationship between HRM practices and organizational performance is well-established in the literature, with studies showing that effective HRM practices contribute to higher employee satisfaction, retention, and overall organizational success (Ajayi & Oladapo, 2023). However, the specific ways in which HRM practices influence organizational performance in the banking sector, particularly at Zenith Bank in Kaduna State, are yet to be comprehensively explored.
This study aims to assess how various HRM practices at Zenith Bank impact its organizational performance, including financial performance, employee engagement, customer service, and operational efficiency. Understanding this relationship will help determine the effectiveness of HRM strategies and provide a basis for refining HR practices to achieve better organizational outcomes.
Statement of the Problem
Although Zenith Bank has implemented various HRM practices, there is limited research on how these practices influence the bank’s overall performance in Kaduna State. Poor alignment between HRM practices and organizational goals can lead to inefficiencies, low employee morale, and decreased productivity (Oluwaseun & Chidi, 2023). The absence of a comprehensive evaluation of the HRM practices at Zenith Bank creates a gap in knowledge about their effectiveness in enhancing organizational performance. This study seeks to bridge that gap.
