Impact of Human Resource Practices on Project Success : A Study on Ufone Pakistan

Abstract

There has been stimulating research since the past decade on the relationship amongst “HR practices” and perceived “project success” in Pakistan’s telecom sector. This study is of a similar nature. It builds direct hypotheses for studying the relationship amongst four selected HR practices (Employee Well-Being, Employee Training & Development, Employee Communication & Participation and Employee Performance Appraisals) with project success in Ufone, Islamabad, Pakistan.The research methodology used for this study is Qualitative, deductive and explanatory in nature. Qualitative data was collected from 200 participants from within Ufone, Islamabad. The results and findings of this research suggest that all four selected HR practices have a positive impact on project success, in Ufone, Islamabad. The significance, limitations and implications of the found results have also been deliberated for future research. Previously presented theories by other researchers have also been substantiated.
