CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
Employee job performance is derived from the word job performance that means real work produced by employee within a specific time period. Performance is a comparison between the works of the real compared to the standard set by the company. Performance is the quantity and quality of produced or services rendered by a person in doing the job. Performance is the work of behavior. Performance is the relationship between work and behavior. Effective recruitment strategy is one way employee performance can be enhanced in an organization today.
Recruitment is said to the best represented area of research in people management in smaller, growth, or entrepreneurial organizations with more scholarly work done conducted than other functional aspect of HRM Cordon & Stevens (2004) as cited in Taylor (2006). The recruitment and selection process thus forms the first stage of the psychological contract between applicants and organizations, where information is mutually exchanged and role expectations are clarified and negotiated Herriot (1993); Anderson (2004). Recruitment ‘includes those practices and activities carried out by the organization with the primary purpose of identifying and attracting potential employees’ Breaugh and Starke (2000: 405) and has long been regarded as an important part of HRM as it ‘performs the essential function of drawing an important resource human capital into the organization’ Barber (1998). The recruitment and selection of an effective workforce consequently can be viewed as central to the success of an enterprise and a key function in HRM. The strategic importance of recruitment is often reported in academic literature Boxall& Purcell (2003).
Recruitment is primarily concerned with “the process of generating a pool of capable people to apply for employment to an organization” Bratton and Gold (2003). This is supported by Foot and Hook (2010) seems to be clearer in their minds when they identified the key stages of a systematic approach to recruitment as job analysis, job description, person specification and attracting applicants through the various methods of recruitment. Denisi and Griffin in their book “Human Resource Management” second edition were almost in agreement with Foot and Hook (2010), when they described the recruitment process as consisting of three. The three key stages according to them are job analysis, job description and person specification. Effective selection processes allow both the candidate and the organization to properly assess the degree to which the candidate fits the job specification and are keeping with all applicable legislation. Selection is an opportunity for companies to choose candidates that they believe are most suitable for the job. From the Foregoing therefore, the study seeks to add to knowledge by examining the relationship between effective recruitment and employee performance.
