Background of the Study
Human Resource Outsourcing (HRO) involves the delegation of HR functions, such as recruitment, payroll, and benefits management, to external service providers (Hassan & Akin, 2023). For many organizations, outsourcing HR functions allows for cost savings, access to specialized expertise, and increased efficiency (Musa & Olumide, 2024). In the banking sector, particularly at GTBank in Taraba State, HRO has gained traction as a strategic tool to streamline HR processes and focus on core business activities.
GTBank, one of Nigeria’s leading banks, outsources several HR functions to external providers to enhance service delivery and reduce operational costs. However, there is limited research on how HRO impacts the overall performance of the bank, particularly in terms of employee satisfaction, operational efficiency, and financial outcomes (Oluwatobiloba & Oluwaseun, 2023). This study aims to evaluate the effects of HRO on GTBank’s organizational performance in Taraba State and provide recommendations for optimizing outsourcing practices.
Statement of the Problem
While HRO is commonly used in the banking sector, its impact on organizational performance, particularly at GTBank in Taraba State, remains under-explored. Poorly managed outsourcing relationships can lead to a decline in service quality, loss of control over HR functions, and increased costs, negatively affecting organizational performance (Uzochukwu & Chinedu, 2023). Therefore, an evaluation of the effects of HRO on GTBank’s performance is necessary to assess its effectiveness and suggest improvements.
