CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.0 Background of the study

Staff recruitment and Selection are world-wide accepted vital processes for every successful

organization because having the right staff improves and sustains organizational performance.

(Gupta, 2007). He further stated that the effectiveness of an organization’s staff recruitment and

selection system influence bottom-line business outcomes, such as productivity and financial

performance a dream for any organization.

In many African organizations, today, staff recruitment and selection is the major function of the

human resource department and staff recruitment process is the first step towards creating the

competitive strength of organization performance. Staff recruitment process involves a

systematic procedure from sourcing the candidates to arranging and conducting the interviews

and requires many resources and time. Obviously, staff recruitment and selection are conceived

as the processes by which organizations solicit, contact and interest potential appointees, and

then establish whether it would be appropriate to appoint any of them. (Perlson, 2004).

In Uganda’s setting, the more effectively the organizations recruit and select candidates, the

more likely they are to hire and retain satisfied employees. In addition, it is generally believed

that hiring someone who fit a particular job or who suit the culture of the organization may lead

to better performance of the organization (Birungi, 2006). He further stated that the better

performance of the organization can be realized in terms of high productivity, high profitability,

and employee turn up, customer turn up, high-level of effectiveness as well as high level of

efficiency. Hence, investing in the development of a comprehensive and valid selection system is

6
money well spent.

Staff recruitment and Selection are quite important processes for a successful organization and

having the right staff can improve and sustain organizational performance (Petts, 2007).

As much as staff recruitment and selection is the first step towards creating the competitive

strength in any organization that would lead to better performance, researchers wonders as to

why Bugema Adventist secondary school despite implementing proper staff recruitment and

selection processes, still the performance of the organization is not at par organization vision of

(98% students to join university studies, yet 91% have and to have 1100 students by the end of

2013 however only 850 are currently registered). This led the researchers to venture into the field

to find out whether staff recruitment and selection processes do affect the organization

performance.

1.1 Statement of the problem

Staff recruitment of candidates is the function preceding the selection, which help to create a

pool of prospective employees for the organization so that management can select the right

candidate for the right job from this pool (Beardwell, 2006).The effectiveness of an

organization’s staff recruitment and selection process influence bottom-line performance, such as

students’ turn up and academic performance however these remains like a dream at because of

hiring process being done haphazardly.

Despite the fact that Bugema Adventist secondary school has been keen in implementing staff

recruitment and selection processes still the organization performance is not at par organization

vision of (98% students to join university studies, yet 91% have and to have 1100 students by the

end of 2013 however only 850 are currently registered), Head Master (2013). Could it be that

7
organization performance does not depend on staff recruitment and selection processes?

1.2 Purpose of the study

The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of staff recruitment and selection processes on

organization performance of Bugema Adventist secondary school.

1.3 Research objectives

1. To analyze the staff recruitment and selection processes of Bugema Adventist secondary

school.

school?

2. What is the level of organizational performance of Bugema Adventist secondary school?

3. What is the significant relationship between staff recruitment and selection processes and

organizational performance of Bugema Adventist secondary school?

1.5 Hypothesis

There is no significant relationship between staff recruitment and selection processes and

organization performance of Bugema Adventist secondary school.

8
1.6 Significance of the study

i. The study may be helpful in the streamlining of Bugema Adventist secondary school’s

staff recruitment and selection policies into an effective one that can influence its

performance.

ii. The study may provide Bugema Adventist secondary school with staff recruitment and

selection handbook manual on how to hire the best employees in its employment process.

iii. The study may highlight the significance of an effective employment system to other

firms in influencing organizational performance, and provide them with a handbook on

how to carry out successful staff recruitment and selection process.

iv. The study may provide literature for further research studies for Bugema University

students and others in the field of staff recruitment and selection processes.

1.7 Conceptual frame work

CHAPTER TWO

LITERATURE REVIEW

2.0 Introduction

This section contains the reviewed literature on the effects of staff recruitment and selection

processes on organization performance. The literature sources were text books, other research

articles, journals, magazines and internet. The main aim of adding the literature review was to

identify the study gaps.

2.1 Staff recruitment process

Every organization has the option of choosing the candidates for its staff recruitment processes

from two kinds of sources: internal and external sources. (Hunter, 2000). The sources within the

organization itself (like transfer of employees from one department to other, promotions) to fill a

position are known as the internal sources of staff recruitment. Staff recruitment of candidates

from all the other sources (like outsourcing agencies etc.) is known as the external source of the

staff recruitment

He further explained that internal recruiting seeks to fill vacancies with current employees. It is

the most common approach that notifies present employees and encourage them to apply for

positions in which they are qualified, ask present employees for referrals; often those referrals

are other current employees. According to the writer, internal staff recruitment is advantageous

in a sense that it increases morale, retains employees, attendance and work records are known,

and less training is needed.

In today’s rapidly changing business environment, a well-defined staff recruitment policy is

necessary for organizations to respond to its human resource requirements in time. Therefore, it

is important to have a clear and concise staff recruitment policy in place which can be executed
11
effectively to recruit the best talent from the pool for the selection of the right candidate at the

right place quickly (Flippo, 2000).

According to (Dessler, 2009), the steps involved in the formal staff recruitment and selection

process are often fairly standard, but there are a number of factors to consider along the way.

Initially, the recruiting manager should draw up a job description and the person’s specification

for the vacant role if these are not already available, and the steps are; Step 1: Identify vacancy,

Step 2: Prepare job description and the person’s specification, Step 3: Advertising the vacancy,

Step 4: Managing the response, Step 5: Short-listing, Step 6: Arrange interviews and Step 7:

Conducting interview and decision making.

Similarly, (Gatewood, 2004), states that a general staff recruitment process is as follows: The

staff recruitment process begins with the human resource department receiving requisitions for

staff recruitment from any department of the company. This process involves; preparing the job

description and the person’s specification, locating and developing the sources of required

number and type of employees (Advertising etc). Short-listing and identifying the prospective

employees with required characteristics as well as arranging the interviews with the selected

candidates, conducting the interview and decision making. The staff recruitment process is then

immediately followed by the selection process; that is, the final interviews and the decision

making, conveying the decision and the appointment formalities.

Better staff recruitment policy result into improved organizational outcomes. The more

effectively organizations recruit and select candidates, the more likely the organization

performance improves. In addition, the effectiveness of an organization’s staff recruitment

processes can influence bottom-line business outcomes, such as productivity, customer turn up

and financial performance. Hence, investing the development of a comprehensive and valid staff

12
recruitment processes is money well spent (Koontz, 2001)

Motivation is the core factor upon which employees’ happiness can be registered. When the

employees are motivated, their attitudes, efforts towards work are high and this has got a direct

link with employees’ productivity there by leading to increased organization performance

(Byars, 2009)

Identified gap

According to Koontz, Gatewood, Dessler and Flippo, staff recruitment process has got a direct

positive effect on organization performance. Meanwhile Byars reject that by saying motivation

of employees is what positively affects the organization performance. The researchers therefore

want to investigate and find out whether staff recruitment process has an effect on organization

performance.

2.2Selection process

According (Mathis, 2007), a good selection requires a methodological approach to the problem

of finding the best matched persons for the job Selection process. Preliminary Interviews,

Selection Tests, Employment Interviews, Reference and Background Analysis, Physical

Examination, Job Offer and Employment Contract are of paramount importance. The stages in

Selection Process include: Stage 1: Screening of Application Forms. Stage 2: Tests-Intelligence,

Aptitude, Technical, Psychometric, Ability, Interest. Stage 3: Selection Interview. Stage 4:

Selection decision

The effective selection of employees is a fundamental human resource management activity, one

that if managed well can have a significant impact on organizational performance as well as

leading to a more positive organizational image (Corbridge, 2006)

Job satisfaction to the selected employees is more than a necessity. If employees are satisfied

13
with their jobs they will have positive attitude towards the work team, towards management and

towards achieving organization goals and this affects the organization performance positively

(Lewin, 2008)

Identified gap

According to Corbridge, selection of employees is the vital process for a successive organization

performance. However Lewin believes that it is how the employees are satisfied in the jobs they

are being selected for that leads to better organization performance.

From the above, the researchers therefore intend to find out whether selection process affects

organization performance.

2.3Organization performance

While executing a large initiative to improve organizational business Processes, the New York

State Workers’ Compensation Board recognized the need to measure performance within its

organization. The project was expected to dramatically improve operations however, this

could not be proved. The volume of work performed (turn up) was the only measurement which

seemed reliable, and this reflected other aspects of organizational Performance. By identifying

and implementing Performance Measures, the Board would also be able to measure the

effectiveness of its organizational business process improvements.

Performance is a result or set of results that represent productivity and competence related to an

established objectives, goals or standards. Organizational performance is measured as a

composite index comprised of five partial measures: service quality, level of productivity,

profitability product to market time and rate of innovation, absenteeism and turn up.

Turn up has become one of the significant indicators used in measuring organizational

performance in many studies (Patterson, 2009).

14
According to the American management Association Journal (2007), the organization

performance can be measured by efficiency and effectiveness. Efficiency is an essential resource

usage concept, also with the least cost notion. It has to do with the minimization of inputs and

maximization of output. Effectiveness is an end-oriented concept that measures the degree to

which programmed goals and objectives are met.

Identified gap

According to Patterson turn up is the significant indicator used in measuring organization

performance in many studies. However, the American management Association Journal (2007)

suggests that the organization performance can be measured by efficiency and effectiveness. The

researchers are therefore interested in finding out whether turn up is an indicator of organization

performance.

CHAPTER THREE

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

3.0 Introduction

This section of research shows different methods that the researchers used to arrive at the results

of the study. The chapter is divided into; research design, source of data, population of the study,

target population, sample size, sampling techniques and procedures, research instruments,

validity and reliability, data gathering methods, ethical consideration, data processing and

analysis and limitations of the study.

3.1 Research Design

The study will use descriptive analysis and correlation. Descriptive design will be used by

researchers to describe the various variables related to the study to identify the possible solution

to the phenomenon. And the correlation analysis will be used to establish the relationship

between staff recruitment and selection performance on organization’s performance.

3.2 Source of the Data

The primary data will be collected from the employees of Bugema Adventist secondary school.

The study will use stratified random sampling technique; thereby dividing up the population into

subgroups or “strata”. This method ensured an equal chance of each respondent being included

in the sample thus potentially reducing sampling error by gaining more control over the

composition of sample.

3.3 Population of the Study

Bugema Adventist secondary school will comprise of different departments; full time teachers

35, part time teachers 12, accounting 4, chaplaincy 2, health 4, deans 4, secretaries 3, security 14,

16
farm/dairy 3, cafeteria 11, physical plant 3, science labs 3, office messenger /cleaner 2 and this

totals to 100 employees. This was according to the report from the office of the Headmaster,

Bugema Adventist secondary school (2013)

3.4 Target Population

The study will target the employees of Bugema Adventist Secondary School with the number

amounting to 100 employees upon whom the research will be conducted.

Table 1: Sample Size

Departments Target Total Population Expected Sample Size /Census

Full time teachers 35 35

Part time teachers 12 12

Security 14 14

Accountants 4 4

Cafeteria 11 11

Chaplaincy 2 2

Science lab 3 3

Source: Researchers (A sample of 100 will be used. This is as suggested by Neuman (2007) that

when the target population does not exceed 100, researchers are recommended to use the total target

17
population as the sample size in order to gather adequate data for the study.

3.5 Sample size/Census

Since the target population is = 100, the whole population was taken as a sample size. This is

supported by Neuman 2007, which said if the target population is ≤ 100; the whole population

should be taken as a sample size.

3.6 Sampling Procedure

The researchers will use a stratified random sampling methods based on the thirteen (13)

categories of employees mentioned in our target population. Stratified sampling was designed to

potentially reduce sampling error, and minimizes bias by gaining greater control over the

composition of the sample. It also made the sample more representative.

3.7 Method of Collecting Data

This design will enable the researchers to collect firsthand information using self-administered

questionnaires as the method of data collection

3.8 Self-Administered Questionnaires

This method will be used to get information which was not easy to get by the use of interview,

for example when a respondent had a busy schedule. It was used on educated respondents who

could read, write, understand and fill in the responses. It had both closed and open ended type of

questions. The questionnaire has three sections whereby; Section A contained bio data and

Section B contained objective questions. A Likert scale will be used to scale the closed ended

questions as illustrated in table 2.

Table 2: Likert scale

Mean 3.26 -4.00 2.51- 3.25 1.76- 2.50 1.00- 1.75

Interpretation Very high High Very low Low

3.9 Validity of the Research Instrument

The research instruments were constructed with the help of the research supervisor to ensure

validity and accuracy. This was in form of self-administered questionnaire. To establish the

validity of the instrument (questionnaire), the researchers consulted the supervisor and other

experts in the field of the study. These helped them check the items, consistence, relevancy,

clarity an ambiguity in order to judge how well the measuring instruments met the standards

(Kothari, 2004). The validity of the research instrument was examined by calculating the content

validity index as demonstrated below, where the value of 0.6 and above was the recommended

confidence level. However, the researchers involved three research officers who helped them

calculate the CVI value and the acquired CVI values from the three research experts were

84+92+92 which averaged to 89.3% (0.893) which is above the recommended minimum value of

0.6, hence the researcher regarded the research instrument valid for data collection.

3.9.1 Reliability of the research instrument

To ensure a degree of consistency of the data collection instrument the researchers carried out a

pretest of 10 questionnaires, of which all were answered by employees of Ristaka High School as

19
a sample comparable to that of Bugema Adventist Secondary School. In the study pre-test, a

minimum of 0.7 and above is regarded reliable and reasonable measure of internal reliability as

recommended by Cronbach’s alpha method of determining the coefficient of reliability.

However, the researchers got Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.815 which revealed that the

research instrument was reliable for data collection.

Table 3: Reliability Statistics

Cronbach's Alpha N of Items

.815 21

3.9.2 Data Processing and Analysis

For consistency and accuracy of the research, the researchers used the Statistical Package for

Social Sciences (SPSS) as a tool to analyze the raw data collected from the field. The descriptive

method (descriptive statistics) helped the researchers analyze objectives 1 and 2 in order to know

the staff recruitment and selection processes, and the level of organization’s performance. The

researchers also used co-relation method (inferential statistics) helped to analyze research

objective 3 and determine the study hypothesis which were to establish the relationship between

staff recruitment and selection processes on organization performance of Bugema Adventist

Secondary School and “there is no significant relationship between staff recruitment and

selection processes on organization performance of Bugema Adventist Secondary School”.

Objectives 1 and 2 were analyzed into mean and standard deviation while the bio-data was

analyzed using frequency and percentage tables.

[Link] Data Editing

This enhanced the researchers to examine the raw data collected from the field so as to detect
20
errors, omissions and to correct them where possible. This included careful scrutinizing of the

questionnaires. The data was edited to ensure accuracy and consistency. This helped the

researchers to remember and tell the events conducted in the field after collecting data. The data

collected from the field was edited after the collection of the questionnaires. The researchers

checked all the questionnaires and this helped them in correcting obvious errors such as an entry

in wrong place for example; age entry.

[Link] Tabulation

This will be the process of sorting, counting and organizing statistical facts in a systematic order.

These statistical facts will be arranged in the tables in a concise and logical order for the purpose

of analysis. This will be done after raw data was transformed to numerical codes by the use of

rows and columns. This enables the researchers to tabulate the data accurately.

3.9.3 Ethical Consideration

Data collection will not intrude into the privacy of the study respondents; neither were the

researchers use the deceptive means to collect information from respondents. This research was

purely for academic purposes and welfare of Bugema Adventist Secondary School. Because of

this, a copy of the research was accessible to any interested person (s). Permission to carry out

this research was obtained from the Dean School of Business and the management of Bugema

Adventist Secondary School.

Common questions

Powered by AI

The selection process at Bugema Adventist Secondary School follows a similar methodology to the standard processes outlined by sources, which include preliminary interviews, various selection tests (intelligence, aptitude, technical, psychometric), employment interviews, and reference checks . However, despite these comprehensive steps, the school still faced challenges in meeting its performance goals, suggesting possible gaps in execution or additional factors affecting performance .

The study employs a stratified random sampling method by dividing the population into subgroups, ensuring an equal chance of each subgroup being represented in the sample, which potentially reduces sampling error . Data is collected using self-administered questionnaires and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), with a focus on establishing relationships between the recruitment processes and organizational performance .

The literature identifies a gap in understanding the direct effect of recruitment and selection processes on organizational performance, as evidenced by Bugema Adventist Secondary School's inability to meet its performance targets despite following these processes . Moreover, Byars's viewpoint introduces an alternative perspective, attributing organizational performance improvements to employee motivation rather than recruitment alone, suggesting a need for integrating motivational factors into the recruitment analysis .

The recruitment process involves identifying vacancies, preparing job descriptions and person specifications, advertising vacancies, managing responses, short-listing candidates, arranging interviews, and conducting interviews to make final decisions . The process also involves choosing whether to recruit internally or externally, each with its own advantages, such as increased morale and reduced training needs for internal recruitment .

Effective recruitment and selection processes are crucial for organizational performance. These processes are responsible for creating a pool of prospective employees, allowing management to select the right candidates. Organizations that effectively recruit and select candidates are more likely to hire and retain satisfied employees, which can lead to better organizational outcomes such as high productivity, high profitability, and a high level of effectiveness and efficiency . However, in the context of Bugema Adventist Secondary School, despite implementing proper recruitment and selection processes, the organization did not meet its performance goals, questioning the direct link between these processes and performance .

The study specifically acknowledges the exclusion of factors other than recruitment and selection processes that may affect organizational performance, such as leadership styles and employee motivation . This limited scope may obscure a holistic understanding of the challenges faced by Bugema Adventist Secondary School in improving performance .

While effective recruitment and selection processes are seen as crucial for improving organizational performance, motivation is identified as a core factor impacting employee happiness and productivity. Byars suggests that motivated employees exhibit higher effort levels and positive attitudes towards their work and the organization, leading directly to improved performance .
