Journal Title: IOSR journal of Business and Management - Year 2018, Vol 20, Issue 9
Abstract
Employee recruitment is one of the most important human resource functions. However, research on recruitment practices has been relatively narrow in scope and frequently failed to link recruitment practices to organizational performance in Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). The study sought to establish the influence of recruitment practices on organizational performance of NGOs in Nakuru East Sub County. The objectives of the study were to examine the influence of employee referrals and mass media vacancy advertisement on organizational performance of NGOs. The study was guided by three theories namely the human capital theory, resources based view theory and equity theory. The study was based on a descriptive survey design. The target population comprised of senior and middle level management employees in selected NGOs in Nakuru East Sub-County. A sample of 86 respondents was selected through stratified random sampling. Data was collected using questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with the aid of the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 25. Descriptive statistics comprised of means, standard deviations, frequencies and percentages were used to analyze the data. Regression and correlation analysis were used to establish the association between the independent and dependent variables. The study concluded that 27.4% of organizational performance of NGOs in Nakuru East Sub-County was explained by referrals as a recruitment practice while 21.5% of organizational performance was influenced by mass media announcement. The results further revealed that 64.48% of total variance in organizational performance of NGOs in Nakuru East Sub-County was influenced by recruitment practices adopted. The study recommends that NGOs in Nakuru East Sub-County should become more proactive in adapting to changing dynamics of employee recruitment practices by embracing different recruitment practices.
