Factors Affecting Human Resources Management Policy Implementation in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Sri Lanka

Abstract

Policy implementation in SMEs related to Human Resource Management in Sri Lanka is often ignored because the issues are indirect and hidden. The main objective of this paper to review and understand theories and models related to the policy implementation and develop conceptual framework describing the factors affecting successful policy implementation in SMEs in Sri Lanka. Literature related to policy implementation as well as policy implementation models were analyzed and illustrated a conceptual framework. This framework directs attention to eight major variables that affect implementation of public policy. The three intervening variables showed that without implementing agency capacity, negotiation ability, and sector awareness, policy implementation might be weakened. Further, this conceptual model offers a blueprint for the successful policy implementation to solve the HRM issues in the SMEs in Sri Lanka.
