“…Aside from HRM practices, many investigations also focused on the link between HRM practices and performance of organisation. Al-Sinawi (2016) investigated the relationship between work performance system (which included staffing, training, involvement, appraisal, compensation, performance, caring) and performance of higher learning institutions in Oman. The instrument was composed of 88 items and was constructed to assess work performance system, mediator variables and institutional performance respectively.…”
This study described the perceived implementation of human resource management (HRM) practices and staff’s demographic profile at private higher education institutions (HEIs) in the Sultanate of Oman. It further explored the relationship of staff profile and HRM dimensions. Purposive sampling was used with a 50 per cent response rate. The instrument is composed of two parts; the first part includes staff profile while second part consists of 10 HRM dimensions clustered in 36 HRM practices. The findings revealed that all HRM dimensions were often applied and more than half of the respondents were academic staff, expatriates, male, and from affiliated, and college HEI. As to relationship, it was found that staff’s designation and residential status had high significant relationship in most of the HRM dimensions while staff’s HEI affiliation, classification and gender had high significant relationship with two HRM dimensions.
“…At this point, there are two specific issues that have provoked this research. The first issue is related to the disputes between agent and principal; there is a common practice of leaving the operations of the organization to the managers, whereas the owners still like to have full autonomy (Al-Sinawi, 2016). These types of issues give rise to managerial biases, the point at which managers begin to think of their own benefits rather than what is best for the owners and the organization, also known as an "agency problem".…”
The study aims to find out the ways in which corporate performance can be enhanced with the help of establishing managerial autonomy and implementing management accounting information systems in manufacturing organizations in Oman. The study is novel for considering factors of integration, reliability, flexibility, and efficiency to enhance corporate performance in Oman. In this qualitative study, the manufacturing sector has been considered, as it has shown significant growth that can impact Oman's economy positively if an efficient enough system is implemented. By applying analytical tests through SPSS and AMOS, results have shown that the impact of managerial autonomy and factors of efficiency, reliability, and flexibility in management accounting information systems are significant and positive on corporate performance in Oman. But the impact of integration is insignificant. Most of the organizations in Oman are yet in the decision-making process for the implementation of the Management Accounting Information System; the outcomes of this study can help in the decision-making, policy-making, and implementation processes, thus contributing to the performance enhancement of the manufacturing corporations in Oman.
