1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
Organizations are seeking to create much competition between them, taking more market, more customers, more sales, etc. Rapid changes stemming from globalization, advancement of information systems and other factors have caused higher competition. Many organizations are driven by the market to set their goals in their corporate performance (Hendry & Pettigrew, 1990). Some of the goals are: cost reduction, achieving sales levels, increasing the number of customers, increasing the market percentage, improving productivity and quality, innovative products. The realization of these goals will be achieved through the human resources management in organizations. Workforce, as the key to success, will enable the achievement of organizational performance. Human resources are regarded as one of the most important sources of today’s firms (Lance, 1994). To sustain competitive advantage, companies must reassess their corporate mission and reset their strategic goals. Programs organized to boost corporate performance explores the powerful performance management systems that successful organizations use to compete successfully in a rapidly-changing global economy (Boxall & Purcell, 2003). With a deeper understanding of how to analyze and communicate business strategy, employees can learn how to manage operational and strategic risk while driving breakthrough innovation and performance.
Human resources management is more important than other competitive sources because these people use other assets in organization, create competitiveness and realize objectives. Thus firstly, organizations must understand the expectations of their workforce in order to achieve the desired corporate performance. The realization of the expectations of employees will enable the desired behavior of employees in the organization (Guest, 1987).
Some of the desired outcomes of the organization in managing their workforce are: competence, cooperation of employees with managers, cooperation of employees between them, showing the capabilities of employees; motivation, commitment and satisfaction; attitude and presence; employee behaviors. The overall goal of corporate performance management is to create a culture as high performance in which individuals and teams to take responsibility for the continuous improvement of business processes and their skills and contribute in achieving the targets set by managers. In particular, management performance can be expressed as the approximation of individual objectives of employees with organizational objectives provided that employees support the culture of the organization. It provides for expectations to be defined and agreed in terms of role responsibilities and accountabilities (expected to do), skills (expected to have) and behaviors (expected to be)(Armstrong, 2006). Strategic human resource management (SHRM) represents a relatively new transformation in the field of human resource management. Strategic human resource management is concerned with the role human resource management systems play in firm performance, particularly focusing on the alignment of human resources as a means of gaining competitive advantage.
