The impact of human resource management (HRM) practices on organizational performance has been subject of discourse among social scientists from a wide range of disciplines in the last two decades. But unfortunately, very insufficient number of studies in this area has been conducted in Nigeria and other developing countries. This study was undertaken to fill this obvious research gap. The author applied descriptive method and collected the data via a survey of 164 respondents in Nigeria’s Oil and Gas Industry. Data collected were analyzed using Pearson product moment correlation and t-test analysis. The study found that there is a significant relationship between HRM practices and organizational performance. As predicted, the study revealed that human resource management practices exert positive and statistically significant impact on organizational performance. Requisite conclusion and recommendations were provided in the light of theoretical and empirical findings. With this study, we hope to contribute to a better understanding of the role of HRM practices in creating and sustaining organizational performance, specifically in the Nigerian context.

Влияние практики управления человеческими ресурсами (HRM) на эффективность деятельности организации в последние два десятилетия являлось предметом научного дискурса в социальных науках. Однако авторы отмечают, что очень мало исследований в этой области было проведено в Нигерии и других развивающихся странах. Данное исследование было предпринято с целью заполнения этой очевидной исследовательской лакуны. Работа основана на применении описательного метода и данных, собранных с помощью опроса 164 респондентов в нефтегазовой промышленности Нигерии. Собранные данные были проанализированы с использованием метода корреляции Пирсона и t-теста. Исследование показало, что существует значительная связь между методами управления персоналом и эффективностью деятельности организации. Как и предполагалось, исследование показало, что практика управления персоналом оказывает положительное и статистически значимое влияние на эффективность организации. Необходимые выводы и рекомендации были предоставлены в свете теоретических и эмпирических выводов. С помощью этого исследования мы надеемся внести вклад в лучшее понимание роли практики управления человеческими ресурсами в создании и поддержании эффективности организации, особенно в нигерийском контексте.
