Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This research project aims to conduct a comparative study of human resource management practices in the public sector and private organizations in Nigeria, focusing on the Federal Ministry of Labour and Productivity and Zenith Bank Plc. The study seeks to analyze and compare the HRM practices, policies, and strategies employed by these two organizations to understand the differences and similarities in managing human resources in the public and private sectors. The research will utilize a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection methods. Interviews, surveys, and document analysis will be used to gather data on HRM practices such as recruitment and selection, training and development, performance management, compensation and benefits, and employee relations. The data will be analyzed using thematic analysis and statistical techniques to identify patterns, trends, and differences between the public and private sector organizations. The findings of this study are expected to provide valuable insights into the HRM practices in the public and private sectors in Nigeria. By comparing the practices of the Federal Ministry of Labour and Productivity and Zenith Bank Plc, the research aims to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of HRM practices in each sector, as well as areas for improvement. The study also seeks to explore the impact of organizational culture, government regulations, and market competition on HRM practices in the public and private sectors. The research is significant as it contributes to the existing literature on HRM practices in Nigeria and provides practical recommendations for enhancing HRM practices in both public and private sector organizations. The study may also offer insights for policymakers, HR professionals, and organizational leaders to improve HRM practices, promote employee engagement and productivity, and enhance organizational performance. Overall, this research project addresses an important gap in the literature by conducting a comparative study of HRM practices in the public and private sectors in Nigeria. The findings are expected to have implications for theory, practice, and policy, shedding light on the factors influencing HRM practices in different sectors and contributing to the overall understanding of human resource management in Nigeria.
