Description |
This study examines the human resource (HR) Professionals’ Effectiveness through the lensof HR Professionals’ Competencies and HR Professionals’ Willingness. The Human ResourceCompetency Study model is used in this research, which is modified to include ‘Willingness’as an important competency. Impact of HR Professionals’ Social (HRSC), HR Professionals’Technical Competencies (HRTC) and HR Professionals’ Willingness (HRPW) on HRProfessionals’ Effectiveness is measured. The study is undertaken using data drawn from theline managers of the largest bank among the privatized banks of Pakistan. It is hypothesizedthat all HR Professionals’ Competencies are equally and strongly related to HR Professionals’Effectiveness which is theoretically associated with organizational performance. The analysisreveals that the HR Professionals’ Competencies have a significant high correlation with HRProfessionals’ Effectiveness. However, this relationship is stronger for HRSC than HRTC orHRPW and within the sub constructs ‘Credible Activist’ has the stronger relationship contraryto our expectations. It is also concluded that the HR professionals’ of the bank are lackingthe competencies and hence have a negative impact on their effectiveness in the bankingsector of Pakistan. Keeping in mind the relationship between HR Professionals’ Effectivenessand organizational performance, the need to enhance HR Professionals’ Competencies ishighlighted.Keywords: HR Professionals’ Competencies; HR Professionals’ Effectiveness; Willingness;Bank.
