Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess the contribution of Staff Resourcing Procedures as a strategic human resource management practice in achieving institutional performance. A multi-respondent survey of qualitative and quantitative data was collected using questionnaires from the 400 staff selected through purposive and stratified sampling from a population of 2496 from Narok County Government. The data collected using self administered questionnaires was analyzed using descriptive statistics; Percentages, Mean and Standard deviation and inferential Statistics; Factor Analysis, Pearson Correlation Coefficient, and Chi-square. The study findings show that there is an association between the variable of the study and the dependent variable. The results of the study show statistical estimates Pearson’s R of 0.453, Phi value of 2.701 and the Cramers V is 0.530 and both have a P- value of 0.000. The Pearson chi square is 2318.527 with 806 degrees of freedom and a p- value of 0.000. The critical chi factor at 800 degrees of freedom is given as 880.275 which is far much below the calculated factor. Therefore the results show that there is a positive correlation between Staff Resourcing process and achievement of institutional performance with a strong association and dependency. It is therefore concluded that the staff resourcing procedures have a positive significant relationship with institutional performance. The study recommends that institutions should emphasize on effective Staff Resourcing procedures as examined in the achievement of institutional performance of Narok County Government. The findings are useful to the government of Kenya, Narok County Government, Staff and contribute to the knowledge gap.
