ANALYSIS OF NIGERIA FINANCIAL ORGANISATION
Abstract
Effective management of human resource (HR) practices is key to enhancing employee quality of work-life and organizational productivity. This study examines the impact of HR practices on employee work quality in a Nigerian financial organization. A descriptive research design was employed to survey 127 randomly selected managers and employees. Multiple regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between various HR practices and work-life quality. The findings reveal that favorable working conditions, welfare packages, fringe benefits, and flexible work hours positively influence employee work-life quality. Training, development, coaching, and mentoring also contribute significantly. Additionally, employee performance appraisals were found to have a strong positive effect on work-life quality. The study concludes that achieving organizational goals and enhancing employee satisfaction depend on the strategic implementation of HR practices, leading to improved performance without excessive effort.
