dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to develop and test instrument for HRM practices in the context of academic staff in universities in Uganda. HRM practices were operationalised as recruitment, selection, job design, training, performance appraisal, promotion, employee participation, rewards, job security and safety, and grievances handling mechanisms. In particular, the study sought to establish the validity and reliability of each of the 10 HRM practices and the correlation between them. The sample of 301 academic staff was chosen from four public and three private universities. The development and testing of the instrument was carried out basing on review of literature. The factors were tested using factor analysis and Cronbach alpha (รก). The relationship between the HRM practices subscales was examined using Pearson product-moment correlations. It was found out that the items measuring HRM practices sub scales were valid and reliable measures. The correlation results suggested that the HRM subscales were independent with job design as the most independent subscale. It was concluded that the instrument provides appropriate measures for the different HRM practices.en_US
