Impact of Human Resource Management Practices on Teacher's Performance: A Mediating Role of Monitoring Practices

The purpose of this paper is to measure the impact of HRM on teachers' performance in the context of Pakistan. Impact of HRM practices on teachers' perfor- mance has been an under-researched area in Pakistan. For the human development of any society the major share of responsibility lies with the teachers of that society, so in this study, we have investigated how HR practices aect the teachers' performance. We proposed a mediation model in which monitoring acts as a mediating mechanism to transmit the positive eects of HR practices on teachers' performance. Therefore teachers' performance is an issue that if addressed adequately, can speed up the pro- cess of eliminating illiteracy from the country. This study examines the impact of HR practices i.e. training & development and performance management on performance of teachers of private schools, Karachi. Cross sectional data was collected from 135 private schools teachers of Karachi through structured questionnaires containing a ve point Likert scale. Exploratory and conrmatory factor Analysis was performed to ver- ify the reliability and validity of the measurement model. The ndings of the research conrm that all HR practices included in the model except the evaluation in our study which is a signicant predictor of teachers' performance. Thus, the contribution of this study for academics and practitioners is that HRM practices in educational sector will aect teachers' performance through HRM outcomes to increase the excellence of teachers as well as the overall quality of education.
