Abstract:
Increasing water demand, acute water shortage, and climate change have
led to signifi cant water insecurity in the Sultanate of Oman suggesting the need
for government policies, through the Ministry of Regional Municipalities and
Water Resources, to ensure effi cient water supply and consumption. Such policies
can be implemented by developing government institutions’ human resources.
Therefore, this study aims to (1) examine human resource management (HRM)
theories, such as training, knowledge management, and employee motivation and
(2) determine whether these theories are employed in Oman’s public institutions
and assess their impact on such institutions’ performance. This study utilised
secondary data from existing sources of information and primary data collected
through questionnaires. The fi ndings show that the relationship between HRM
practices and organisational performance is partially mediated by HRM outcomes,
and that employee incentives, training, and job security are positively associated
with the performance of the government institutions, while selective hiring and
decentralisation are not.
Keywords:
training, incentive, selective hiring, job security, decentralisation, organisational performance.
