“…The manufacturing industry faces global market demands and challenges with employees within the organisation (Campbell, De Beer, & Pei, 2011). These demands include the global market centres on electricity supply, volatile currency, productivity level, limited budget and technology, acquisitions, downsizing, mergers, retrenchments and competitors (Campbell et al, 2011;Marshall & Stephenson, 2020;Potgieter & Mokomane, 2020). Challenges for the Orientation: Quality of work life has a significant impact on an organisation.…”

Research purpose:The general objective of this study was to examine the relationship between quality of work life and turnover intention and to see whether organisational commitment mediates the relationship between quality of work life and turnover intention.Motivation for the study: The lack of research on the relationships between quality of work life, turnover intention and organisational commitment make it challenging to gain knowledge on the concepts and what influences it can have to embrace these relationships in the workplace. Research design:A cross-sectional study with a sample of N = 400 South African manufacturing organisation employees was utilised. Descriptive statistics, Pearson's product-moment correlations and structural equation modelling were used. Main findings:The results indicated both direct and indirect effects for all the relationships. Results further indicated that organisational commitment partially mediates the relationship between the quality of work life and turnover intention. Practical implications:The results provided insight into the effect that high levels of quality of work life has on an individual and the advantages for the organisation. Contribution:The improved understanding of quality of work life and the relationship with certain job outcomes contribute to the body of knowledge on both the theory of quality of work life and on employees' experience of turnover intention and commitment in the work environment.

“…The hard approach to HRM was critical for ensuring a good fit between the required competencies and the person specifications. The soft approach to HRM complemented the hard approach by creating an environment that attracted high-calibre employees (Potgieter & Mokomane, 2020). Human resource management interventions should therefore be bundled to appeal to different types of candidates with varying inclinations and drivers (Rioux, Bernthal, & Wellins, 2006).…”

“…The hard approach to HRM ensures the acquisition of the right numbers necessary to achieve the business goals (Potgieter & Mokomane, 2020). In contrast, the soft approach ensures the availability of HR with the right attitude, motivation and commitment to work (Armstrong, 2014).…”

“…Furthermore, human goals are moving targets so an employer needs to meet employee expectations if it is to withstand competition for talent (Rioux et al, 2006). Human resource management is constantly evolving and should be continuously reviewed throughout an employee's life cycle to avoid losing that talent too early and wasting resources (Potgieter & Mokomane, 2020).…”

“…

Human resource management is about managing the employee life cycle in a manner that addresses both organisational and employee goals (Collins, 2020). It has been established that the effectiveness of the HRM function influences the quality of employees' contribution to the achievement of strategic goals (Potgieter & Mokomane, 2020). Furthermore, services provided by an organisation depend on the quality of its inherent talent pool and skills repertoire (Els et al, 2021).

Orientation: Practices employed to manage the human resources at Johannesburg (JHB) Metropolitan Municipality were explored to unearth their impact on employee performance.Research purpose: The study sought to reveal the human resource management (HRM) practices that could support employee performance at local government.The motivation for the study: The achievement of organisational goals depends on HRM practices that enhance employee competencies. Employee performance in municipalities is often considered to be substandard. This study aimed to strengthen HRM practices to enhance performance at JHB Metropolitan Municipality.Research approach/design and method: The qualitative inquiry adopted an interpretive stance to reveal participants’ experiences that relate to employee performance. Ten participants were identified purposively and the obtained data were analysed with the assistance of the Atlas.ti software.Main findings: Whilst the organisation’s employee-attraction practices were strong, its retention practices were weak. Employees generally felt undervalued, which negatively affected their morale and the organisation’s goal attainment.Practical/managerial implications: The organisation should introduce effective employee-retention strategies, focussing on thorough needs analyses, skills development and rewards linked to performance. Building employee commitment should be prioritised.Study contribution: Human resource management effectiveness in the Johannesburg Municipality would be enhanced by appropriate soft HRM investment in senior management either through recruitment or development or both. Furthermore, the municipal culture should change from HRM practices that are influenced by tradition to an adaptive approach that responds to public-sector dynamics and varying employee expectations.

PurposeThis study aims to map scientific publications, intellectual structure and research trends in the development of human resource management (HRM) by adopting innovative practices. Specifically, it aims to (1) identify the fundamental contributions of research and to (2) determine the lines of research that constitute the most prominent intellectual structure to contribute to defining a future research agenda.Design/methodology/approachThis study employs bibliometric, bibliographic coupling and cluster analysis techniques. To evaluate any potential patterns among the articles, it is analyzed how those were jointly cited. Hierarchical cluster analysis was also applied to those subject to bibliographic coupling analysis within the scope of grouping the interrelated articles into distinct sets.FindingsThe results enabled the identification and classification of various theoretical perspectives on human resources development through the adoption of innovative practices into four main approaches: (1) organizational factors of success, (2) strategic HRM, (3) human behavior and (4) learning management.Originality/valueThis study identifies, explores, analyzes and summarizes the main themes contributing to deepening the literature by identifying the priority areas concerning HRM through the adoption of innovative practices that can guarantee international standards of excellence.
