The Influence of Human Resource Management Practices and Organisational Cultural Dynamics on Productivity Outcomes: Insights from Public Scientific Research Institutions in Ghana

This study investigates the influence of human resource management (HRM) practices and organisational cultural dynamics on productivity outcomes in public scientific research institutions (PSRIs) in Ghana. Quantitative research designs were employed, using a survey questionnaire of 307 employees. Data analysis was performed with the use of the 26th version of the IBM SPSS data analysis software, descriptive and inferential statistical methods assisted in the analyses of the collected data. The study found that the effect of HRM practices on productivity increases significantly when organisational culture is included in the relationship. Therefore, for higher productivity, organisations need to implement practical human resource strategies that take into account organisational culture dynamics. Again, further research, recommendations are needed to investigate effects of the specific HRM practices on productivity in the organisations, among other insights into organisational performance.
