Keywords:
HRM, Recruitment and Selection, Training and Development, Compensation, Organizational Citizenship BehaviourAbstract
The necessity for the business to properly apply HRM practices has been influenced by the need to encourage good citizenship behaviour in the face of an unhealthy work environment. This study sought to determine the degree to which business studies teachers' organizational citizenship behaviour in Edo State is predicted by human resource management practices. To direct the investigation, four research questions and four related null hypotheses were developed. 309 business studies teachers in Edo State comprised the population. To determine the link between the study variables, a correlational survey methodology was employed. For this study, two questionnaires were adapted. The Cronbach alpha was used to assess the instrument's reliability, yielding the following reliability coefficients: human resource management practices =.81, and organizational citizenship behaviour =.87). The data was analyzed using regression analysis and Pearson Product Moment Correlation. The findings showed that organizational citizenship behaviour in Edo State was significantly predicted by recruitment and selection, training and development, and compensation. Additionally, the study found that organizational citizenship behaviour in Edo State was jointly predicted by recruitment and selection, training and development, and compensation. By examining HRM practices as important indicators of business studies teachers' organizational citizenship behaviour in Edo State, this study closes a gap. As a result, the study suggests that the teachers' compensation package should be given top priority.
