The role of human resource practices in petro-chemical refinery performance
Article Abstract:
Research into the effect of human resource (HR) practices and employee participation on the performance of petro-chemical refineries in the US has been used to test the hypothesis that the positive impact of HR practices on petro-chemical refinery performance depends on those practices being linked with a participative management system. It was established that the most effective approaches to HR management in petro-chemical refineries are to invest in both HR practices and participation programmes at the same time or to invest in neither. Investing in only one or the other brings the lowest financial performance.
