Abstract
This study mainly intends to explore whether there are any undesirable challenges and
problems (limitations) in the implementation process of human resource performance
management in one of the public owned enterprises i.e. the Ethiopian Insurance
Corporation (EIC).
The main objective of the study is to assess and identify the challenges encountered in
the process of implementation of human resource management in the Corporation whcih
closely examined. To this end, both the primary and secondary data were gathered
through questionnaires and various documents; and analyzed quantitatively through
frequency and percentage values.
The results provided indicate towards the following conclusions. In the process of setting
strategic planning and performance planning the involvement of employees is not
sufficient, training and development of staffs in EIC is not programmed or scheduled,
the existing performance evaluation of the employees of the Corporation is more of
behavioral measurement rather than achievements oriented, and the rewarding policy of
the Corporation is not clear.
Relying on the above conclusions, among others, some of the recommendations are
given based on the findings include that, in the process of setting vision, mission,
strategic plan and performance standard, employees have to participate actively and
adequately and the strategic plan has to be cascade to lower level units further more. The
conducting performance appraisal system has to be more of result oriented than
behavioral measurements, and to enhance the efficiency of employees, there should be
clearly stated policy regarding rewards to high performers and actions against to below
average performers
