Effectiveness of an organization depends on the quality of its human resources and human
resources development strategy being an integral part of organizations’ strategic plan and its
practicability. Hence, this study was aimed to determine the impact of human resource

Data was collected on survey questionnaire and an interview. 130 questionnaires were
distributed for the collection of data and an interview was made with HRD Director of the
