| dc.description.abstract | Human resource planning encompasses predicting quantity, quality and
category of human resources requirements in organizations to ensure
that they are suitably redeployed and utilized optimally by
organizations. Accurate predictions ease the rationalization of staff to
improve its performance and create a conducive working environment.
In that regard, organizations in the public and private sectors are
formulating and deploying several strategies to enhance employee job
satisfaction and gain a competitive edge. Despite the emphasis on job
satisfaction, a review of available literature indicated limited focus on
the relationship between human resource planning strategies and job
satisfaction. This paper assessed the relationship between human
resource planning strategies and job satisfaction in Kenya's Lake Region
Economic Bloc County Governments. The study used the equity theory
and the target population was all employees engaged by the 14 counties
in Kenya's Lake Region Economic Bloc County Governments. Three
counties: Kisumu, Bomet and Kakamega, which had employed 14,361
workers were sampled. The study sample consisted of 374 respondents,
who arrived at the study using the Morgan and Krejcie sampling
formula. A questionnaire was used to collect data analysed using SPSS
for descriptive and inferential statistics and presented using tables.
Regression analysis indicated that human resource planning strategies
are positively and significantly related to job satisfaction (B = 0.939, p
= .000). Thus, the study concluded that a significant relationship exists
between human resource planning strategies and job satisfaction in
Kenya's Lake Region Economic Bloc County Governments. The study
recommends that county governments in the Lake Region Economic
Bloc in Kenya emphasize implementing forecasting and restructuring
strategies objectively and rationally to enhance employees' job
satisfaction. | en_US |
