dc.description.abstract | Human effort has remained the only weapon for competitive companies around the globe.
Employees with amix of skill, knowledge and experience give a company a competitive
edge compared to its competitors in the market. The major drive behind this study was to
investigate the influence of corporate strategy on recruitment and selection practices among
commercial banks in Kenya. It involved a cross-sectional survey design among all
commercial banks in Kenya and these were forty three banks in total. Respondents to this
study were Human Resource Managers from the banks. The study relied on primary data
collection where questionnaires were used. The questionnaire was divided into three
sections that covered corporate strategies, recruitment and selection practices and the
relationship between corporate strategies and recruitment and selection practices. Data was
analyzed by use of descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, frequencies and
percentages. The chi-square test of association was used to establish the influence of
corporate strategy on recruitment and selection practices among commercial banks in
Kenya. The findings of the study were presented in tables. The study concluded that if
proper mechanism is put in place with regard to investment in corporate strategies focusing
on recruitment and selection practices by commercial banks in Kenya, then the banks stand
to gain a competitive advantage in the market thus contributing to social economic
developments in Kenya. It is recommended that policy makers regulate and provide
policies that will facilitate easy adoption of recruitment and selection practices in the
banking sector. | en |
