Keywords:
Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM), Organizational Effectiveness, Operational Efficiency, Profitability, Competitive AdvantageAbstract
This study examines the role of Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) in enhancing organizational effectiveness at Modipon Fibre Company, Modinagar over the period 2007–2017. It investigates how strategic HR practices aligned with corporate goals have contributed to organizational outcomes such as operational efficiency, profitability, workforce stability, and competitive positioning. Using a mixed-method approach, the research incorporates primary data from employee and managerial surveys along with secondary data from company records and performance reports. Correlational and regression analyses indicate that well-integrated SHRM practices — including strategic recruitment, targeted training and development, performance-linked reward systems, and employee participation mechanisms — are strongly associated with organizational performance indicators. The findings suggest that when HR practices are strategically aligned with organizational objectives, firms can achieve sustainable growth, improved productivity, and stronger competitive advantage. Implications for HR practitioners and organizational leaders are discussed, along with recommendations for strengthening strategic HR implementation in medium-sized manufacturing firms.
