The Key Sustainable Strategies Criteria for Effective Human Resource Management Practices

Abstract

The management of an organization’s human resources is the first stage in the governance process for any operation. This present study examines the strategies employed in Saudi Arabia for establishing effective governance through the implementation of human resource management practices and the key sustainable strategies criteria for effective human resource management practices. This step is considered crucial in governance as it involves the selection of highly qualified individuals who are expected to contribute to the achievement of optimal governance outcomes and the overall well-being of the population within a nation, as well as the key criteria involved. A qualitative research methodology and a decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) were utilized with a sample of 31 participants from eight government ministries and fourteen companies in Saudi Arabia. The study’s findings, from the qualitative interviews, exert four key criteria influencing effective human resource sustainable management practices. “Cultural reflection” is the most important long-term goal of Saudi Arabia’s HRM initiatives, found from the DEMATEL evaluation, with three criteria presenting values of 7.9181, 8.2294, 8.1961, all above the threshold value of 7.783599781. This means that HR professionals should take the time to study and evaluate the cultural dynamics in their workplace in order to promote cultural introspection and understanding of cultural differences.
