Background of the Study
HRM practices vary significantly between public and private sector organizations due to differences in organizational structures, policies, and objectives. Public sector organizations, such as the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), operate under strict government regulations, bureaucratic processes, and long-term employment structures. Conversely, private sector organizations, such as United Bank for Africa (UBA), emphasize efficiency, performance-based rewards, and competitive HR strategies (Olatunji & Bello, 2024).
Understanding these differences is essential for evaluating how HRM practices influence employee satisfaction, performance, and organizational productivity. This study compares HRM practices in NNPC and UBA, Kaduna State, focusing on recruitment, compensation, and performance management.
Statement of the Problem
There is a growing debate on whether HRM practices in the public sector are as effective as those in the private sector. While public sector organizations offer job security, they are often criticized for bureaucratic inefficiencies. On the other hand, private organizations emphasize performance-based incentives but face high employee turnover. This study seeks to compare these HRM practices and their impact on employee productivity in NNPC and UBA, Kaduna State.
Objectives of the Study
1. To compare recruitment practices in NNPC and UBA.
2. To assess differences in employee compensation and benefits.
3. To examine performance management practices in both organizations.
Research Questions
1. How do recruitment practices differ between NNPC and UBA?
2. What are the differences in compensation and benefits?
3. How do performance management practices compare?
Research Hypotheses
1. HRM practices in the private sector are more performance-driven than in the public sector.
2. Compensation and benefits are higher in public sector organizations.
3. Performance management is more structured in the private sector.
Scope and Limitations
The study focuses on Kaduna State branches of NNPC and UBA. The study may not fully capture HRM variations across other states.
