Recruitment Practices and Staff Performance in Public Universities

The book assesses the recruitment practices in public universities of a developing country in Africa. It notes that recruitment practices if well packaged will yield a positive effect on employee performance and that common recruitment practices include media advert internal and external advertisement and through transfers and promotions. Further blending of the recruitment practices will have a favorable effect on employee sourcing that may impact positively on their performance once recruited. The book concludes that socio-economic factors like age and educational level have an impact on employee motivation and performance; should therefore be factored in recruitment exercise.
