The reality of strategic human resources management in Palestinian industrial sector institutions and its role in excellence in employee performance: (the Hebron Governorate as a model)

Abstract

The study aimed to identify the reality of strategic human resource management in Palestinian industrial sector institutions and its role in achieving excellence in employee performance, by using industrial institutions in the city of Hebron as a model. To achieve the study's objectives, the researcher employed the descriptive-analytical method due to its suitability for the nature of the study. The study population consisted of 120 industrial institutions in Hebron, comprising a total of 600 supervisory employees (general managers, managers, and department heads). A questionnaire was used as the primary tool for data collection. It was distributed to a convenience sample of 234 employees, of which 220 valid questionnaires were retrieved, representing a response rate of 94% of the sample size. The data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The results showed that the dimensions of strategic human resource management had a statistically significant impact on achieving excellence in employee performance in private sector industrial establishments in Hebron. It was noted that the dimensions (evaluation strategies, human resource planning strategies, and motivation and compensation strategies) together explained 74.8% of the variance in achieving excellence in employee performance in private sector industrial establishments in Hebron. The dimensions (attraction and recruitment strategies, and training and development strategies) were excluded from the model because they did not contribute statistically significantly. The study recommended the adoption of a strategic human resource management approach within industrial establishments. It also recommended that industrial establishments and other organizations pay attention to strategic human resource management by focusing on its dimensions. Additionally, it is necessary to continuously train and develop employees, as they are the essential element and building block within the establishment. It is also important to raise awareness of the importance of strategic human resource management, as the quality of human resources within the establishment contributes to the implementation of strategic human resource management.
