Influence Of Globalization On Employee Resourcing Strategies Of International Technological Firms In Nairobi

Abstract

Employee resourcing is an important human resource component that contributes to any organization’s well-being and when well-maintained it gives a firm competitive edge in the market. The rapid growth of international technological firms, the increase of environmental changes and degree of competition, has forced multinational tech organizations across Kenya to increase their aggression in the acquisition of the most competent employees. The movement by Kenyan international tech-firms to strategic management has inspired increasing interest on the relationship between globalization and employee resourcing approaches. The main aim of this research study was to determine the extent of globalization as an influence on employee resourcing strategies among international technological organizations in Nairobi. The study went further into breaking down some of the most significant aspects of employee resourcing, which are; reward management; recruitment and selection and retention strategies which technological firms have embraced as globalization changes how organizations conduct their business operations. The collected data was refined and organized for statistical evaluation and this entailed data coding and quality check to ensure that the researcher got accurate and consistent data. For quantitative data, it was reported with both descriptive (frequency distribution, mean, standard deviation, median and interquartile range) and inferential analysis. This study’s conclusion was that it was limited to the influence of globalization on international technological firms with the main focus being employee resourcing strategies within these organizations. Globalization and reward management; globalization and recruitment and selection; globalization and retention strategies and globalization and performance management were the key areas examined in this study. However, these variables were not exhaustive in explaining employee resourcing strategies. Future studies should consider how the attraction of talent impacts on employee resourcing strategies among international technological companies. This study recommends that the human resource department should place emphasis on the recruitment and selection process and work continuously to improve the processes and structures around it as an important employee resourcing strategy
