Assessing the impact of human resource management practices on teachers’ performance through HR analytics

Abstract

One of the major responsibilities of a teacher is to develop the human resources (HR) of the society. So a teacher also needs culture that assists him in successful completion of his duties. In this context, the human resource practices leverage teacher’s capabilities to achieve the main goal of the school education. The main objective is to investigate the impact of human resource management practices on teachers’ performance through HR analytics in rural schools of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K). Further, based on the existing literature, only four human resource practices (training and development, performance management, performance appraisal and empowerment) have been used in the present study. Data have been collected through convenience sampling from 245 teachers. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modelling (SEM) statistical techniques have been used to analyse the data. Further, reliability and validity tests have also been conducted before analysing the data. Finding of this study revealed that HR practices, that is, training and development, performance management, performance appraisal and empowerment positively affect the teachers’ performance. The study is cross-sectional in nature and focused on teachers’ performance only. For future research, students’ academic performance and schools’ performance need to be evaluated too. This study is highly beneficial for teachers and school administrations as well as the researchers for guidelines and policies implementations.
