ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of human resource management practices on
productivity at Zambia Electricity Supply Corporation Limited. The study was guided by four
specific objectives to: examine the influence of employee assessment on productivity, to examine
the effect of workplace environment on productivity, to examine the effect of compensation and
benefits on productivity and lastly, to examine the effect of training and development on
productivity at ZESCO. To achieve the research objectives, the study adopted a quantitative
correlational research design. Systematic and purposive (convenient) sampling of the respondents
was carried out. A sample size of 344 respondents was obtained according to the Raosoft calculator
with a population of 3200 employees at 95% confidence interval. Questionnaires were the main
research instruments used to collect data from the respondents which formed primary sources of
information. The filled-up questionnaires were returned by 344 respondents out of 500 which were
administered. The response rate was therefore 68.8%. Books, journals, and the internet provided
secondary sources of information. Multiple hierarchical regression and correlation statistics were
used to analyze the data collected through the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS25).
There was a good extent of performance assessment, workplace environment, and training and
development with a mean of 3.9094, 3.7058 and 3.9250, respectively. However, the compensation
practice was lesser to some extent, with a mean of 3.0828. The correlation and regression analysis
result showed that all four independent variables have a positive effect on the productivity
measured in terms of employee performance. From this analysis, performance assessment
(β=0.009, P value=0.000) and workplace environment (β=0.107, P value=0.000), compensation
(β= 0.057, P value =0.000) and Training practice (β= 0.949, P value =0.000) all had a positive
effect except performance assessment which was not significant under regression analysis model
5. Based on the study results, it was suggested that firms need to implement the Human resource
practices together as a whole and blend them.
