Findings reveal significant correlations between SHRM practices and improvements in HR performance, adaptability, and satisfaction levels.

Balancing HR Trichotomy Within the Ngo Sector: Strategic Positioning of Human Resource Function
2020
he role of human resource (HR) has been changing over the years but the speed of change may not have been met by a corresponding understanding of the emerging intricacies and complexities of the HR tasks and responsibilities. For a long time, the HR function has been confined to a dichotomous relationship between advocating for employee rights (employee activist) and aligning the human resources to organizational strategies to ensure achievement of its goals (employer defender). Yet, there is also an increasing emphasis on HR professionals as change champions. These different perspectives have often conflicted with each other especially in the non-profit sector such as nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) where there are competing interests by the donors. HR professionals working in the NGO sector may find juggling responsibilities of being an activist as well as a defender presenting two opposing tensions that can potentially wear down the officers professionally and personally.

Human Resource Management Challenges Facing Local NGOs
Humanities and Social Sciences, 2014
Partnership with local NGOs has become an important feature in the development sector. Therefore the management of human resources in local NGOs is crucial as it contributes to the performance and sustainability of the organizations. However many local NGOs face diverse challenges in the area of human resource management. Local NGOs have inadequate HR management procedures in the organization and this affects the employee's work experiences and overall performance at individual and organizational level. Many local NGOs due to the size of the organization and scope do not have a human resource (HR) unit or a human resource manager and therefore they appoint staff to oversee staff issues who often do not have the required human resource skills and competencies to manage the employees. Another area that is challenging local NGOs is the fact that many depend on donor funds that are tied to funding cycles that are short term in nature. This affects the NGOs human resource capacity in terms of the number and type of staff to recruit and employment duration. The mentorship of management and board members in human resource management could be one way to improve human resource competence in these organizations. This paper seeks to highlight human resource management challenges local NGOs encounter and the importance of considering HRM as a strategic process that can contribute to sustaining an organization's performance.

Background. Non-governmental Organisations are becoming aware that human resources are an important asset that can provide sustained competitive advantages (Batti, 2013). Successful NGOs recognize the significance of the human element on organizational success and emphasize their development, satisfaction, commitment, and motivation to attain desired objectives. Design. This quantitative research study used a correlational design. The aim of this study was to understand the relationship between the variables. Therefore, using other quantitative designs such as descriptive, nonexperimental, or quasi-experimental would be considered inappropriate. Methods. The methodology for this research was quantitative. The purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to determine to what extent a relationship exists between HRM Practices and Organisational Performance Improvement. Three quantitative research instruments measured the variables: HRM Practices, Information Technology Capability (ITC), and Organisational Performance Improvement. The quantitative approach "produces results that can be used to describe or note numerical changes in measurable characteristics of a population of interest; generalize to other similar situations; provide explanations of predictions; and explain causal relationship. Results. The findings of this study show all the variables (Compensation, Recruitment, Training, Employee Participation, Performance Appraisal, and Job Security) predicting Organizational performances are significant. However, most of the relationships with the mediating variable, Information Technology Capability are not supported, except two relationships training (Training> Information Technology Capability) and job security (job Security> Information Technology Capability). Conclusions. The study concludes that most Yemeni NGO employees lack motivation for their Organizational Performance, regardless their job positions such as senior managers/managers and CEOs/Directors. It is a good indication for Yemen's human capital development, which needs to enhance Human Resource Management Practices factors in the critical areas. Implications. The Task Technology Fit theory supported this study and Resource-Based View Theory. Combining these theories helped form the conceptual framework that extended the knowledge on Organisational Performance from the Human Resource Management Practices perspective.

European Journal of Business and Management, 2016
The relationship between human resources management (HRM) practices and organizational performance has been invigorated by the notion that these practices results in enhanced individual and organizational performance.

The agency has a quasi-governmental role, delivering essential public services including education, healthcare, social services, and emergency aid....
