Impact of Strategic Human Resource Management on the Performance of Public Sector in Nigeria

Abstract

This study is an empirical review of the performance of strategic human resource management in Nigerian public sector. The study adopted a qualitative research method by using journals, textbooks, and online articles that are relevant to the field. The study identified that the components of (SHRM) individually and connectively impact on the performance of the public sector. It also identified that the new concept (SHRM) has not made significant impact as it should, owing to the dysfunctional state of its environment characterized by bureaucratic practices, nepotism, and animosity. These factors hinder the effective implementation of the concept in Nigeria's public sector and limit the progress and growth that should have been recorded through it. The study recommends that bottlenecks such as bureaucratic practices in the sector should be reviewed for SHRM to yield its desired fruits.
