Human Resource Management Practices and Employee Job Satisfaction In Ghana

This study was conducted among employees of CSIRFood Research Institute (CSIR-FRI) in Accra, and sought to, firstly, establish the average job satisfaction level of all employees in the institute, and secondly, to elicit their views on the relationship between prevailing Human Resource Management (HRM) practices at the institution, and their job satisfaction. The motivation for this was the dearth of published research on the subject, and within the context of Ghanaian research institutions. The study adopted a quantitative survey approach in which questionnaire were distributed to sixty (60) employees who were recruited using a stratified and convenience sampling methods. Fifty-eight (58) responses were duly completed and returned. Response data were analysed descriptively using Microsoft Excel and IBM SPSS Statistics.Findings revealed that majority of CSIRFRI employees are generally satisfied with their present jobs. Employees also agreed that standard HRM practices prevail in the institution, and that these are implemented effectively by management. More importantly, employees agreed that the HRM practices being implemented have contributed in improving their job satisfaction levels. Based on these findings, the study recommended that Management of CSIR-FRI should place more emphasis on creating a conducive work environment, and also on providing training and development opportunities for all categories of staff both within and outside the institution, as these have been determined to be the dominant factors contributing towards employee job satisfaction.
