Improving Faculty Academic Staff Performance via Human Resource Management Practices. Applied study on private universities in Egypt.

Human resource management (HRM) has different meanings to different contexts and covers a wide range of activities. The (HRM) activities and practices for the current research are based on its relevance and importance in relation to higher education. The aim of the present research is to investigate the impact of (HRM) intertwined activities and practices on enhancing faculty staff performance. The successful University considers (HRM) activities and Practices as a crucial factor that directly affect staff performance.
The research handles multiple perspectives into how (HRM) can enhance the interrelated faculty staff capabilities at a private university, namely, staff satisfaction, productivity, effective performance, motivation, innovation, and creation, and to help bridge the gap between faculty staff and (HRM) perspectives.
The research aimed at investigating the impact of human resources management practices on academic staff performance through applying a survey on a private university in Egypt.
The data collected through interviews, documentary analysis and questionnaire were mainly, although some secondary quantitative data were used. It was found that there is a high significant impact of (HRM) activities and practices that are relevant to faculty staff performance, hence on the overall university performance and reputation. An interesting feature showed that faculty staff does not appreciate the activities and practices as a “Complementary Indispensable” service offered to them. It is recommended to (HRM) to give a more intensive look to analyze and modify compensations and benefits.
