| dc.description.abstract | The study focused on examining the effect of recruitment process on employee performance in
commercial banks with specific reference to Housing Finance Bank. The study was guided by
three objectives which included; determining the effect of recruitment planning on employee
performance in commercial banks, to find out the effect of job advertising on employee
performance in commercial banks and to establish the effect of employee selection on employee
performance in commercial banks.
A case study research design which employed both quantitative and qualitative approaches was
used. The study targeted a population of 144 employees at Housing Finance Bank in Uganda. A
sample size of 103 was drawn from the target population. Questionnaires, interviews and
documentary review were used to collect data. Quantitative data was fed into SPSS software
program that generated frequencies, percentages, correlations and regression tables. Qualitative
data was manually analyzed by the researcher.
Findings in the study showed that that correction coefficient (R), using predicator recruitment
planning, 22.8% variations in employee performance are explained by recruitment planning
while the remaining 77.2% is explained by other factors. Also correction coefficient (R), using
predicator Job advertising, 31.6% variations in employee performance are explained by Job
advertising while the remaining 68.4% is explained by other factors. Furthermore correction
coefficient (R), using predicator employee selection, 30.7%variations in employee selection is
explained by employee coaching while the remaining 69.3% is explained by other factors.
Based on the findings in the study recommended that, the Bank of Uganda through the Ministry
of Finance should put more emphasis on job analysis as a critical component in improving
employee performance. The bank of Uganda should also establish a framework where
commercial banks unique and peculiar requirements are taken care of in the general job analysis
by bank in order to further improve employee performance.
Housing Finance Bank should widely advertise for job vacancies in the bank externally because
it is an appropriate method of attracting competent employees and hence improving performance
of employees | en_US |
