Efficiency Redefined: A Deep Drive into HRM Practices and Organizational Success in Lebanon

Abstract

This paper examines the influence of six human resource management practices on the efficiency of organizational performance in Lebanese SMEs across diverse sectors. The examined practices encompass training and development, selection and recruitment, compensation and benefits, performance appraisal, empowerment, and succession planning. Employing a quantitative deductive approach, data analysis employed SPSS to address study objectives, validate hypotheses, and tackle the research problem. The questionnaire, distributed among 360 respondents in various sectors, revealed that managing selection and recruitment, empowerment, and succession planning significantly impact organizational efficiency, while training and development, compensation and benefits, and performance appraisal show no discernible impact. The study's findings provide insights into the specific HRM practices influencing the efficiency of organizational performance in Lebanese SMEs, contributing novel perspectives to the existing literature on this subject.
