Innovative Human Resource Management Practices as Drivers of Employee Dedication and Productivity

Abstract

In today’s highly competitive and dynamic business environment, traditional Human Resource Management (HRM) practices often fall short in ensuring employee dedication and productivity. This study investigates the role of innovative HRM practices in cultivating employee engagement, well-being and organizational growth. Drawing from a contextual study of two automobile companies in Ghana and supported by literature review, the research explores the impact of high-performance work systems, commitment-driven HR practices, innovation-oriented HRM practices and organizational advancement. Using a quantitative methodology with 200 valid responses analyzed through SPSS and Smart PLS, the findings demonstrate that innovative HRM practices significantly influence employee dedication and productivity by promoting autonomy, communication, fairness, career development and reward systems. The study highlights that investment in employee well-being, adoption of flexible work arrangements and technology-driven HR practices are critical in fostering an engaged and committed workforce. The results suggest that organizations which implement such strategies not only enhance employee satisfaction but also build resilience and agility in a rapidly changing environment.
