Abstract
The study aimed at examining how human resource management practices influence the
performance management of small-scale enterprises in Uganda among the service and
manufacturing industries. The objectives of the study were; to examine the influence of
employee resourcing on the performance of small-scale enterprises in Uganda. to explore the
influence of employee rewards management practices on the performance of small-scale
enterprises in Uganda, to establish the influence of employee training practices on performance
of small-scale enterprises in Uganda and to establish the influence performance practices on
performance management of small -scale enterprises in I Uganda.
The study used a cross-sectional survey research design where both qualitative and
quantitative approaches were used (Mann, 2003). This was used largely because it helped to
select a small sample of people from a bigger population to act as an inference and since
surveys are designed to provide a snapshot of how things are at a specific thne and it
allowed the use of many variables at ago (Levin, 2007). In this study, survey methodology
helped in measuring variables and examining relationships among variables as recommended
by Fowler (1993). The study used a five-liker scale questionnaire which was administered to
employees of small businesses. The findings revealed that, it is conducive in the company to
looks at employee’s knowledge and experience applied in recruiting employee with a mean of
3.07 and stranded deviation of 1.380. This implies that small scale enterprises in Uganda are
important business limits in many countries due to their contribution to national economic
development and job creation. Also, from the finding, the study found that; the managers agree
with employees on specific key issues object achieve in a particular period of time (mean 3.29;
Std. 231), in caning that Performance management emerge every year and all too often, human
resource departments get it wrong. The study concluded that, following the literature review, a
conceptual framework was proposed based on the goal theory, which looked at the statistically
significant relationship between human resource management practices and performance
small-scale enterprises including sales and employment. This means that S~s that engage in
formal human resource management practices are more likely to influence employment and
sales. On the contrary, there is no statistical relationship between HRM practices and wage
satisfaction. The study recommended small-scale enterprises to come up with different
departments within the organization, identify the key positions, kinds of skills and qualities that
people to take up such positions must have such that in the end of it all their impact is reflected
on the performance of the business.
