Job Performance and HRM In Public Vs Private Hospitals: Strategic Insights for Organizational Efficiency

Authors(2) :-Reeta Soni, Dr. Ravinder Sharma

This study presents a comparative analysis of human resource management (HRM) practices and their impact on job performance in public and private sector hospitals. Recognizing the pivotal role of HRM in determining workforce efficiency and healthcare quality, the research explores key HR functions—recruitment, training, appraisal, compensation, and engagement—and evaluates their effectiveness in shaping employee outcomes. The primary objectives were to assess the differences in HRM implementation across sectors and to examine how these practices influence job satisfaction, motivation, and organizational commitment. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, utilizing structured questionnaires and semi-structured interviews conducted among 150 healthcare professionals across ten hospitals (five public and five private). Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS (Version 25.0), applying descriptive statistics, t-tests, and correlation analysis, while qualitative insights were thematically analyzed. Findings reveal that private hospitals exhibit more dynamic and performance-driven HRM practices, resulting in higher employee motivation and productivity. In contrast, public hospitals face structural constraints that limit HRM effectiveness and reduce job satisfaction.
