Abstract
This investigation examined the relationship between benchmarking and human resource recruitment process (HRRP) of Greater Bushenyi Districts Local Government (GBDLG). The study was anchored on the institutional theory developed by Scott (2004). This theory is relevant to the conference theme, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in that it highlighted one component of MDGs which is governance. Institutional theorists assert that the institutional environment can strongly influence the development of formal structures in any organization for good governance. Using the mixed explanatory method (quantitative and qualitative), a researcher generated questionnaire and an interview schedule were used to gather data from 377 participants out of 6,488 target population. The contribution of benchmarking to human resource recruitment process was satisfactory. It was concluded that benchmarking positively and significantly influences HRRP for good governance. For countries, to survive in this competitive world, benchmarking must be practiced as a must so that they can be able to borrow a leaf from the best practices of other countries for good governance.
