Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
This study broadly explains the importance of meritocracy in the recruitment and selection processes. The paper presents the recruitment and selection of employees as important tools of Human Resource Management (HRM). The paper argues that right person for the right job would be the crucial and important for organizations success. Based on literature review and key informant interviews, study finds out different socio- political influences which have dominated in Pakistani organizational settings play critical role in backwardness of public sector. In particular, study finds out colonial legal framework and management practices seem to be main hurdles in the way of public sector organizations to fully develop. This study argues that most of the public companies in the country have not yet fully addressed the HRM practices in accordance with the international standards. The paper concludes that recruitment and selection of employees are believed to have paramount importance, and are used building the foundation for a successful organization. Hence, this paper suggests that a moderate approach in aligning the international HRM practices with local cultures and traditions can be effective way for the organizations to address meritocracy in their decisions.
