The Role Of Human Resources Management Practices In Achieving Job Satisfaction Among Faculty Members In Palestinian University

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the impact of human resource management (HRM) practices on job satisfaction among faculty members in Palestinian universities. The study focused on five key HRM dimensions: human resource planning, recruitment and selection, training, performance appraisal, and compensation, as well as their impact on job satisfaction as a dependent variable. A descriptive analytical approach was employed, and data was collected through a questionnaire administered to a sample of 127 faculty members. The findings revealed a significant positive impact of each of these HRM dimensions on the level of job satisfaction among the faculty. The study demonstrated that effective HR planning, efficient recruitment and selection processes, continuous training, fair and transparent performance appraisal, and appropriate compensation all significantly contribute to enhancing job satisfaction among academic staff in Palestinian universities. The study concluded that strengthening HRM practices could foster a supportive and motivating work environment, leading to improved institutional performance and higher educational quality.
