CHAPTER - IV

ANALYSIS OF THE DATA AND INTERPRETATION


Staff and Operating Engineers are the two major groups of employees in
Mando Automotive India Limited. Both differ in their personal, economic and social
status. Now let us study the social – economic profile of the staff and OE’s in detailed
manner.

4.1 Personal and Organizational Profile of Staff


Human resources are the source of achieving competitive advantage because
of their capability to convert the other resources (Money, Machine, Method and
Material) into output (Product/ Service). People are one of the most important factors
providing flexibility and adaptability to organizations. Several national and
international literatures pertaining to effectiveness of HR practices insisted on gender,
age, educational qualification, designation and experience as vital in determining the
employee’s perception towards the existing HR practices in their organizations. In the
present research, the researcher considers gender, age, education, region, employment
status and experience of employees in Mando Automotive limited. In the preliminary
investigation, it is necessary to present the descriptive statistics pertaining to the
personal and organizational profile of the employees. The application of simple
percentage analysis brought the following results.

4.1.1 Gender of the Employees


The male and female employees differ in the perception towards various HR
practices in their organization. The gender is an important segmentation to perceive
the organizational variables and correlating with their work-life balance. The
following frequency distribution reveals the Staff segmentation over gender in table
4.1

Table 4.1: The Staff Segmentation over Gender

Frequency Percent
Valid Male 166 83.0
Female 34 17.0
Total 200 100.0

Source: primary data

93
From the above table it is clear that the male employees (83%) dominate the
sample size of staff followed by female employees, which constitute just 17%. Now a
days the world is focusing more on gender equality, gender mainstreaming and
women empowerment. The above table shows that there is no gender equality in the
study firm. It is important to emphasize that the concept of gender is not
interchangeable with women. Gender refers to both women and men, and the
relations between them. Promotion of gender equality should concern this
organization, as it does not reflect the gender diversity initiatives promoted by
several industrial and non-governmental organizations. The ultimate beneficiary of
gender diversity will be the organizations that practice and foster those initiatives.

Gender equality is the preferred terminology within the United Nations, rather
than gender equity. Gender equity denotes an element of interpretation of social
justice, usually based on tradition, custom, religion or culture, which is most often to
the detriment to women. Such use of equity in relation to the advancement of women
is unacceptable. There is a dual rationale for promoting gender equality. Firstly, that
equality between women and men – equal rights, opportunities and responsibilities -
is a matter of human rights and social justice. Secondly, that greater equality between
women and men is a precondition for sustainable people-centered development. The
perceptions, interests, needs and priorities of both women and men must be taken into
consideration not only as a matter of social justice but because they are necessary to
enrich development processes. 198 Now let us proceed to the age group of employees in
elaborate manner.

4.1.2 Age Group of the Respondents


There is evidence to suggest that more people suffer from age discrimination
than any other form of discrimination. Good practices are those measures that combat
age barriers and/or promote age diversity. Experience, Knowledge and management
also differ according the age differences. Frequency distribution used by the
researcher present information about the age categories of respondent. The Table 4.2
presented the following results:

Table 4.2: The Age Categories of Staff

Frequency Percent
Valid 20-30 54 27.0
30-40 123 61.5
40-50 23 11.5
Total 200 100.0

Source: primary data


From the results in the Table 4.2, the majority of the respondents
belong to the 30 -40 years age group (61.5%), 27% belong to the 20-30 years age
group and 11.5% belong to the 40 - 50 years age group. There is age diversity in this
organization. Middle age people are more in Mando. Based on the table above the
researcher recommends the organization to have policy of “Age Management”.

First, age management refers to a body of knowledge and practice that is


potentially transferable and valuable in the field of business. Second, it refers to a
range of approaches that have evolved cross culturally and have been extensively
researched and documented. Third, while terms other than ‘age management’ might
well describe some of the practices adopted by UK employers in relation to age,
packaging diversity and anti-discrimination initiatives as part (but not the whole) of
the age management process, could lead the organization to consider other elements
available to maximize the contribution of older workers.

After reviewing good practices around the human resource management of


older people, the researcher is drawn to the conclusion that the term ‘age
management’ is indeed part of a widely accepted body of terminology and practice. It
is generally accepted as such, at all levels in organizations, among the professional
bodies supporting management practice and among policy makers seeking to
influence the way issues of age and employment is managed at work. This company
needs young and energetic people for hard work. At the same time, it also should have
the experienced employees to maintain the quality and strength of the organization.
Now let us go little further to the level of education of the employees.

4.1.3. Level of Education

Human Resource Management is concerned with acquisition and utilization of


the ‘human resource’ or people as employees and the nature of the employment
relationship. This covers key processes such as: recruitment and selection; training

95
and developing; rewarding and managing performance; and influencing employee
behavior, including securing cooperation and commitment, but also recognizing and
managing conflict at work. These are an integral part of the strategic and management
concerns in work organizations of all kinds.

To find the level of education of staff Frequency tabulation is used by the


researcher. Table 4.3 presented the following results:

Table 4.3: Showing the Staff’s Level of Education

Frequency Percent
Valid Diploma 18 9.0
Graduate 156 78.0
Post Graduate 25 12.5
Others 1 .5
Total 200 100.0

Source: primary data


It is obvious from the data pertaining to education that the majority of the
respondents are Graduate 78% (156) and 12.5% (25) are postgraduate and 9% (18) of
respondents are diploma and .5% (1) comes under other category.

Qualification prepares the staff for better employment status or supports their
current and future role in the organization. It gives opportunities for personal growth
and engagement in learning. Therefore, Mando can prepare the ground to increase the
educational qualification of staff by providing incentives or loan for higher studies or
promotions for qualified persons at regular intervals. Still it needs to grow in the path
of human resources specialization. This urges us to study the geographical and
cultural background of the employees.

4.1.4 Region of the Respondents


India is a country located in southern Asia. With over 1.2 billion people, India
is the most populous democracy in the world. It is a federal constitutional
republic governed under a parliamentary system consisting of 28 states and 7 union
territories. All states, as well as the union territories of Puducherry and the National
Capital Territory of Delhi, have elected legislatures and governments, both patterned
on the Western model. The remaining five union territories are directly ruled by the
centre through appointed administrators. In 1956, under the States Reorganisation
Act, states were reorganized on a linguistic basis. Since then, their structure has

96
remained largely unchanged. Each state or union territory is further divided into
administrative districts.

The total geographical area of India is 3,287,240 square kilometers


(1,269,210 sq mi) Population density is rounded to the nearest integer. As per census
data 2011, the total population of India is: 1,210,193,422.

The following frequency distribution reveals region wise participation of Staff.

Table 4.4: The Region Wise Participation of Staff

Frequency Percent
Valid East 12 6.0
North 24 12.0
Northeast 4 2.0
South 152 76.0
West 8 4.0
Total 200 100.0

Source: primary data


A glance through the Table Majority of the staff [76% (152)] from southern
region and 12% (24) from North region and 6% (12) from East region and 4% (8)
from West region and then 2% (4) from Northeast region. People of India have the
specialty of multi cultural and multi linguistic characteristics. Though they have
different geography, language, culture, and religion, they are united by their
nationality.

Culturally, employees in developing countries hold values completely


different from those in developed countries. Individual national culture value
orientations have on the preference for the design of HR policies and practices. India
is differing from this statement because it has six regions and 27 states. Each is like
one country. Each state people has a different perception of HR polices and practices.

The researcher suggests that the organization need a much better


understanding of how cultural values operate and influence HRM at the individual
level. Smith 199 argues that there is a linkage between cultural values and several
organizational behaviors, such as norms of acceptable behavior, types of conflict, and
preferred leadership styles. In the present case majority of the people from Southern

Management, 3: 9–51.

97
region are working in the company. The company can increase the number of staff
from other regions.

4.1.5 Employment Status of Respondents


To establish the procedures for the determination of employment status, and
the eligibility for benefits, each employee is assigned a position that identifies his/her
employment status. In Mando the employment status of staff is divided into two i.e.
Staff and Shop Floor. The following frequency distribution reveals segmentation
Employment status of respondents.

Table 4.5: Employment Status of Respondents

Frequency Percent
Valid Shop Floor 64 32.0
Staff 136 68.0
Total 200 100.0

Source: primary data


From the above table it is found that the sample unit of staff is dominated by
68% (136) of staff followed by only 32% (64) of shop floor. This table shows the
there is less staff in the shop floor level. There is less communication between staff in
shop floor and the staff of Mando. The employment status of the employees will
change the interest of the employees towards the growth of the company. Besides
employment status, experience also has a decisive influence on the perception of
people. Let us now see the details pertaining to experience of staff.

4.1.6 Experience of Staff Respondents.


Gaining experience involves possessing the skills that employers seek out,
acquiring educational qualifications and finding various ways to gain work experience
in the field. Frequency tabulation is used by the researcher to present the tenure of
respondents at the organization.

Table 4.6: Experience of Staff

Frequency Percent
Valid 1-5 years 20 10.0
5-10 years 131 65.5
10-15 years 44 22.0
20 and Above 5 2.5
Total 200 100.0

Source: primary data

98
A look at the Table 4.6 would reveal that the experience of staff. 65.5% (131)
of staff have experience of 5 – 10 years. 22% (44) of staff have 10 – 15 years of
experience, 10% (20) of staff have 1 -5 years of experience 2.5% (5) of staff have 20
& above years of experience.

Productive experience is critical, not only for the good of the organization but
also for the good of individual employees and their teams. From the above table it can
be seen 2.5% of staff are having 20 and above years of experience. Inexperienced or
Under experienced staff is a lost resource to the organization in terms of opportunity
cost because even if the employee has enough work to earn a salary, the added
marginal labor value will not be realized. The employee will also not have the
advantage of utilizing his/her full potential and get extra rewards. However, over
utilization of staff experience will lead to stress, fatigue, and other health problems or
even the risk of loss of life.

4.2 Personal and Organizational Profile of Operating Engineers


(OEs)
The operating Engineers are the second major category in Mando Automotive
India Limited. Let us study the personal, organizational and social status of the OE
respondents.

4.2.1 Gender of the Employees


Gender distributions of the OEs distributed by Frequency tabulation. Table
below presented the results of the OE respondents.

Table 4.7: Respondent of OEs by Gender

Frequency Percent
Valid Male 292 64.6
Female 160 35.4
Total 452 100.0

Source: primary data


From the above table it is found that 64.6% (292) male employees dominate
the sample size of OE’s. Female OE’s are only 35.4% (160). The job nature of
Operating Employees is very rough and tough. They have to work with machines.
Male young diploma holders of mechanical engineering prefer this job. Young
Female employees who acquired diploma in mechanical engineering prefer this job
before their marriage. Due to technical and hazardous nature of job, it is not possible

99
to practice gender equality but the organization can try to give more importance in
recruiting female employees. Organization cannot think of women empowerment
especially for this job.

4.2.2 Respondent Category by Age

OE’s are divided in four age categories. The researcher to present the age of
respondent distribution categories of the respondents used frequency tabulation. Table
4.8 presents the following results:

Table 4.8: OEs Age Wise Distribution

Frequency Percent
Valid Below 20 26 5.8
20-30 374 82.7
30-40 51 11.3
40-50 1 .2
Total 452 100.0

Source: primary data


A look at the table would reveal that the majority of OE’s are from the age
group of 20 – 30 [82.7% (374) ] and 11.3% (51) of OE’s comes under the age group
of 30 – 40 and 5.8% (26) of OE’s are from the category of below 20 years. Just 2%
(1)of OE is from 40 – 50 age category. This study shows that majority of Youngsters
are working in the OE plant.

Students after completing their diploma joined in this company. After initial
training, they are receiving salary. For them it is new experience of handling money in
their young age. Therefore, they are happy to work. However, the initial enthusiasm
disappears once they began to understand the complexity of their job. They sometime
even think of quitting their job. This may be important reason why 20 – 30 age groups
of OE’s are the majority in the shop floor. The other possible reason for less number
of other categories is that people may be stagnated at this level

4.2.3 Level of Education


Educational qualification plays an important function in the general
context of all administrative responsibility of managing OE’s. The following
frequency distribution reveals the OE’s level of education.

100
Table 4.9: OEs Level of Education

Frequency Percent

Source: primary data


From the above table it is found that the sample size of OE’s secured diploma
is dominated by diploma holders with 98% (443) and 1.8% (8) of OE’s secured
graduate degree. Shop floor section is meant for diploma holders. The organization
gives a lot of opportunity to do higher studies part time. Inspiring, nurturing, caring
and thanking are the four objectives of OE model. Mando inspires the OE’s with
different rewards, nurtures them by giving many opportunities for specialization, and
cares financial and moral support to the OE’s.

4.2.4 Region

There are five regions of OE’s in Mando. The following frequency distribution
reveals the employees dissection of region.

Table 4.10: OEs Dissection of Region

Frequency Percent
Valid East 40 8.8
North 67 14.8
Northeast 34 7.5
South 264 58.4
West 47 10.4

Source: primary data


A look at the above table makes it obvious that 58.4% (264) respondents of
OE’s is from southern region, 14.8% (67) respondents are from North region, 10.4% (
47) are from west region, 8.8% (40) are from East region, lastly 7.5% (34) are from
north east region. Compared with staff, the OE’s of south is little less. It is good sign
that OE’s from different regions are encouraged. The company is in the process of
introducing OE’s from other region.

101
4.2.5 Employment Status
To establish the procedures for the determination of employment status,
outline of the eligibility for benefits, each employee is assigned a position that
identifies his/her employment status. The employment status is divided in to Staff and
Shop Floor.

Table 4.11: Employment Status of OEs

Frequency Percent
Valid Shop Floor 446 98.7
Staff 6 1.3
Total 452 100.0

Source: primary data


The above table shows that majority of OE’s comes under 98.7% (446) Shop
floor categories and 1.3% (6) is seniors (shift in-charge). As it was mentioned earlier
this shop floor section is meant for OE’s with few senior staff members. The OE’s are
the producers of the company products. The work nature of OE’s is very practical.
They are asked to strictly follow the rules and techniques prescribed for them.

4.2.6 Experience of the OEs


Gaining experience involves possessing the skills that employers seek out,
acquiring educational qualifications and finding various ways to gain work experience
in the field. Production and profit of the organization will also increase based on
experienced people. The following frequency distribution reveals the experience of
the OE’s.

Table 4.12: Experience of the OEs

Frequency Percent
Valid 1-5 years 384 85.0
5-10 years 65 14.4
10-15 years 2 .4
20 and Above 1 .2
Total 452 100.0

Source: primary data


It is very clear from the above table that majority of OE’s i.e., 85% (384)
comes under the category of 1- 5 years of experience and 14.4% (65) respondents of
OE’s are come under 5 – 10 years category and less people come under 10 years and
above category. It is a good sign that company is showing signs of maturity. Majority
102
of OE’s are coming under the one to five years experience group. The company gives
lot of opportunity for OE’s to get promotion in different branches of Mando. The
well-qualified and experienced OE’s are sent abroad also for training and exposure.
International companies are also recruiting the OE’s of Mando. A good number of
OE’s who have more than five years of experience are settled in different countries.
However, the presence of a high number of less experienced OEs and less number of
more experienced OEs does not augur well for the company. It should make efforts to
retain the employees for longer tenure.

4.3 Opinion of Staff on HR Audit Practices


The entire study has been designed to analyze the important elements of HR
process in Mando from HR Audit perspective. This is because the study unit namely
Mando selected these elements of Hr process and subjected them to regress
examination in terms of validity and relevance. These important elements are Staff
structure, manpower, performance management, talent identification, creation &
retention, organization culture, record maintenance, women‘s grievance committee
and HRIS. As part of the analysis, the researcher scrutinized the international and
national literature pertaining to each of these elements and finally decided to pick up
and use Likerts 5 point scale for studying the perception of each sample respondent
regarding these elements. To begin with the researcher has discussed about HR
structure and employees perception of these structures utility and value in terms of
organizational and individual goal accomplishment.

4.3.1 HR Structure
HR structure as the term suggests refers to the hierarchy involved in the HR
management. This structure acts as a strategic link between an organization’s business
strategy and people. They also play an indispensable role in executing those business
strategies. The top line executives hold the pivotal role in any HR structure because
they represent the best source of evaluating information. The opinion of staff
presented in the following table

Table 4.13: HR Structure

103
From the above table it is found that the mean values of the two variables
4.4350 and 4. 4750 with consistent standard deviation of .72692 and .70131. The
standard errors are sufficient to calculate the ‘T’ values as presented in the table
below

From the above table it is found that the ‘T’ values 27.918 and 29.744 are
statistically significant at 5% level. Therefore, it can be concluded that the staff of
Mando strongly agree that the existing HR structure in their organization has a very
good link with the company’s business strategy. This involves establishing the
organization structure in a way that will enable the realization of the intended mission,
vision, goals, objectives, strategies and tasks. It is like an African saying that ‘you
scratch your back where your hand can reach’. No single organizational structure can
suit all organizations because the suitability of an organizational structure will depend
on where the organization is, and what its future prospects are. If the mission of the
organization involves rapid growth and expansion, a tall bureaucratic structure may
not be desirable because such a structure slows the decision making process, which in
turn, stifles flexibility, creativity and innovation. A personnel officer who is
fundamentally responsible for effective manning levels in the organization has the
mandate to become part of the organizational structure design team. The staff gave a
strong opinion that the company’s policies are very optimistic in supporting the
extension level works of HR departments.

4.3.2 Manpower
Manpower planning is the determination of right number and right skills of
human force to suit present and future needs. Manpower planning is the strategy for
the requisition, utilization, improvement and preservation of an enterprise’s human
resource. It relates to establishing job specifications or the quantitative requirements
of jobs determining the number of personnel required and developing sources of

104
Manpower. Manpower planning is a process determining requirements of right the
number and the right kind of human force at the right place and the right time.

Objectives of Manpower planning of Mando are to ensure optimum use of


human resources currently employed. to assess future skills requirement, to provide
control measures to ensure that necessary resources are available as and when
required, to determine requirement level, to anticipate redundancies and avoid
unnecessary dismissals and assess training and development needs. The result in the
section below is generated to assess the Manpower planning process required for
effective Human Resource Management Service Delivery. Item mean tabulation is
used to present the results as presented in table below.

From the above table it is found that the mean values of variables 4.3200,
4.1000 and 4.2550 with consistent standard deviation .70718, .71593 and .86818. The
standard errors are sufficient enough to calculate the ‘T’ values as presented in the
table below

From the above table it is found that the ‘T’ values 26.397, 21.729 and 20.443
are statistically significant at 5% level. Therefore, it can be concluded that the staff of
Mando strongly agree that Mando Company has an effective Manpower process. It
involves a process of enabling the organization to have the right people, doing the right
jobs at the right time. This is in line with the challenges facing managers in staffing
the organization. It is about planning for the number and quality of employees
required under different job categories. The Manpower process is to make sure that
staffing process such as recruitment, selection, placement, promotions, transfers and

105
downsizing are effective. HR audit practices help the Mando company to have clear
job description for each job/position and clear competency map. Mando is doing HR
planning according to the skills, knowledge and education of existing employees.

4.3.3 Performance Management


Performance management is the process through which supervisors, those they
lead gain a shared understanding of work expectations, and goals, exchange
performance feedback, identify learning and development opportunities, and evaluate
performance results. HRM practices enhance organizational performance. The results
in the section below were generated to assess the Performance Management required
for effective Human Resource Management Service Delivery. Item mean tabulation is
used to present the results as presented in table below.

From the above table it is found that the ‘T’ values 28.649, 37.414, 36.054,
15.911, 14.554, 18.557, 18.133, and 22.112 are statistically significant at 5% level.
Therefore it can be concluded that the staff of Mando strongly agree that all
employees have approved individual KRA sheets for every year and all annual
appraisal forms have been filed & signed by apprisee & appraisers for all employees.
Final approved performance rating is communicated to all employees regularly.
Mando staff members strongly agree that Midterm review of KRAs is completed
regularly in July as applicable, Job Description (JD) have been reviewed for each job
during midterm review and all employees have been allotted JD. No. relevant as per
their current JD.

Staff of Mando moderately agree for two performance management variables


that is

i) All annual appraisal forms have been filled & signed by appraisee &
appraisers for every year.

ii) All appraisers have undergone refresher training on assessment skills 2


months before final appraisal previous year.

The HR audit of performance management recommends the organization to


pay attention on managing performance of the individual. The HR department has to
initiate the system, process, techniques and tools of individual, teams and
organizational performance measurement. It has to ensure that performance targets for
individuals, teams, sections and departments are set and agreed upon and measures to
address performance gaps are in place and are working. This is not an easy task
because it requires a value judgment about employees. Indeed, there are no other
areas of HR management that make HR officers more uncomfortable and unpopular
than the appraisal function. This is because whatever process or tool is used to
appraise staff and reward them accordingly, there is always tacit or explicit
dissatisfaction from staff based on the feelings that such decisions were biased.
Progress has been made towards improving staff appraisal systems, which will be
covered later under performance management. The following two suggestions will
help the Mando to satisfy staff .The filled annual forms filed and signed by the
appraisee and appraisers for every year can be reduced to six months so that this

107
practice will satisfy the staff of Mando. The training program for appraisers on
assessment skills has to be updated.

4.3.4 Talent Identification, Creation and Retention


Retention of key talent — those employees who are the strongest performers,
have high potential or are in critical jobs — is even more important during economic
recoveries when organizations compete aggressively for market share and talent. Key
talent disproportionally contributes to current organization performance and to future
performance since key employees often become organization leaders. Losing key
talent costs considerably more since these employees’ impact and contribution are
greater than that of typical employees. Estimates suggest that the cost of employee
turnover often ranges from 50% to 200% of the employee’s annual salary based on
the type and level of job he/she holds. These costs are substantial and have moderate
rates of turnover. The overall opinion of staff offered in the following table

growth plan,
• Exit interview is conducted regularly in our plant
• The full final settlement of employees separated has been completed
within 1 month.
Effective employee utilization is critical, not only for the good of the
organization but also for the good of individual employees and their teams. HR
department makes sure that the availability of the HC list to L1 and L2 employees of
staff.

4.3.5 Organization Culture


Organizational culture refers to a system of shared meanings held by members
that distinguishes one organization from other organizations. Organizational culture
provides employees with a clear understanding of the way things are done in that
organization. Organizational culture is the perceived, subjective influence of the
formal system, the informal‚ style of managers and other significant environmental
factors on the attitudes, beliefs, values and motivation of the people in a particular
organization.

The concept of culture is seen as a kind of bridge between the individual and
the organization. Culture performs a number of functions within an organization. It
creates a distinction between one organization and another, it conveys a sense of
identity for role incumbents, it facilitates the generation of commitment, and it
enhances social system stability. Finally, culture sells as a sense-making and control
mechanism that guides and shapes the attitudes and behavior of employees.

One of the major reasons for the widespread popularity of and interest in
organizational culture stems from the argument (or assumption) that certain
organizational cultures lead to superior organizational Žfinancial performance.

109
Organizational culture may create competitive advantage is by defining the
boundaries of the organization in a manner which facilitates individual interaction
and/or by limiting the scope of information processing to appropriate levels.

The results in the section below were to assess the Organization Culture
essential for effective Human Resource Management Service Delivery. Item mean
tabulation is used to present the results as presented in table below.

2nd shift) are covered in communication meetings. Annual Medical checkup is done
for all and there is doctor facility available within the plant. There is a duty manager
nominated to be available on phone for C Shift on weekly basis. The organization has
to reform the methods of conducting communication meetings. The availability of
duty manager and medical check up can be informed well in advance to the staff
members.

4.3.6 Training
The sixth HR audit practice of staff is Training. There are essentially three
main types of employee training programs: formal, employer-supported offsite
training (e.g., tuition reimbursement programs); formal, employer-provided on-site
training (e.g., employee induction programs); and informal, on the-job training (e.g.,
coaching and mentoring). In addition, training and development policies include those
that promote an “internal labor market” by providing opportunities for development
and career advancement within the firm. Formal, on-site, employer-provided training
programs, such as formal induction programs, have had a consistently positive
relationship with performance in a number of meta-analyses and quality empirical
studies. The results in the section below help to assess the training essential for
effective Human Resource Management Provision Delivery. Item mean tabulation is

Harassment Act”) and guidelines laid down by the Supreme Court of India in its 13
August 1997 judgment on the Writ Petition (Criminal) Vishaka vs. State of Rajasthan
for prevention and deterrence of sexual harassment in the workplace. The sense of
security at the workplace/study place will improve women’s participation in overall
progress, resulting in their economic empowerment and inclusive growth as whole.

Grievance and Sexual Harassment committee is a female employee and Women
committee consists of minimum 3 members.

Staff members moderately agree that the Women committee has


representatives from NGO, Women committee meetings are being held once in a
month, there is a policy on sexual harassment & it is displayed and awareness
program on sexual harassment are conducted. The above four areas are accepted by
the staff moderately. The organization has to concentrate on women empowerment.

The empowerment of women concerns women gaining power and control over
their own lives. It involves awareness-raising, building self-confidence, expansion of
choices, increased access to and control over resources and actions to transform the
structures and institutions which reinforce and perpetuate gender discrimination and
inequality. Empowerment should not be seen as a zero-sum game where gains for
women automatically imply losses for men. Increasing women’s power in
empowerment strategies does not refer to power over, or controlling forms of power,
but rather to alternative forms of power: power to; power with and power from within
which focus on utilizing individual and collective strengths to work towards common
goals without coercion or domination.

4.3.10 HRIS
A human resource information system (HRIS) is software containing a
database that allows the entering, storage and manipulation of data regarding
employees of a company. It allows for global visualization and access of important
employee information. The use of Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) has
been advocated as an opportunity for human resource (HR) professionals to become
strategic partners with top management. The idea has been that HRIS would allow the
HR function to become more efficient and to provide better information for decision-
making.

The results in the section below help to assess the HRIS essential for effective
Human Resource Management Provision Delivery. Item mean tabulation is used to
present the results as presented in table below.

audit practices for OE’s of Mando. They are as follows.

 Recruitment
 Induction
 Training
 Appraisal / Retention

118
 Recognition
 Contractual on line
 Infrastructure
 MandoRedresal Forum (MRF)
 Women’s Grievance Committee
The researcher concentrates on the above nine HR audit practices in a detailed
manner.
4.4.1 Recruitment
Recruitment is the process of locating potential applicants and encouraging
them to apply for existing or anticipated job opening. During this process, efforts are
made to inform the applicants about requirement of the job, qualification required to
perform the job and the career opportunity available to the candidate in the
organization. On the basis of availability of present human resources in the
organization decision will be made with regards to filling up the vacancy from within
the organization or outside the organization. These decisions are made on the basis of
organization’s human resources policies, and the requirement of the vacancy to be
filled. Another important factor in the success of recruitment is how much the firm is
willing to offer in terms of salary and other benefits in comparison to other
organizations in the area. Good recruiting system requires the effectiveness by pre-
screening the employees on the basis of their interest in the organization. The
screening is usually done by conducting a telephonic/ web-based interview prior to
actual interview process. This helps weeding out the applicants who do not have real
interest in the organization. The process of pre-screening saves a lot of time and
makes the whole system effective.

The results in the section below were generated to assess the recruitment
process required for effective Human Resource Management Service Delivery. Item
mean tabulation is used to present the results in the table below.

selecting the candidate. The Recruitment team includes at least one Manager
(Production/HR) and an ex-student from same region / institute). Feedback is taken
from the new joiners in regular intervals. Feedback is taken from the supervisor about
new joiners after 3-4 weeks.

4.4.2 Induction
All employees require induction. The character of the induction will vary, but
all staff need some form of program, whether they are in academic, technical,
professional or support roles, senior or junior appointments, full or part-time,
permanent or on a short-term contract, new to the organization or an internal
appointment. Depending on the situation, more or less information will be required.

Employees are familiarized with their new immediate work unit and
environment, including local work practices, standards, safe work procedures,
administrative procedures and training in relevant systems by having Induction
program. Mando also include mandatory training programs. An induction period is
meant to ensure that new members of staff settle into their roles as quickly and
effectively as possible. Tailor-made programs have also been shown to increase staff
retention. The results in the section below were generated to assess the induction
process required for effective Human Resource Management Service Delivery. Item
mean tabulation is used to present the results in table below.

Therefore, it can be concluded that the OE’s of Mando strongly agree that Anand U
certified PTT conducts induction training. Joining of fresh recruits is done on fixed
days in a month. Detailed training modules are available for OE’s. OE’S have a copy
of training modules in their hand. The Plant Head welcomes the fresher. The Buddy
system is followed by the organization to train the fresher. Buddy system in the plant
is as per Guidelines from Corporate HR. Welcome Party, City Dharsan and Quiz
competition are for new joiners within 3 months of their joining. New joiners have
undergone induction training before being employed on M/C. OE’s moderately agreed

121
that Apprentices/ trainees are not put for night training within 2 months of joining. It
shows that they do not like night training.

4.4.3 Training
Training involves an expert working with learners to transfer to them certain
areas of knowledge or skills to improve in their current jobs. Development is a broad,
ongoing multi-faceted set of activities (training activities among them) to bring
someone or an organization up to another threshold of performance, often to perform
some job or new role in the future. Employees must be trained, and where possible
developed to meet their own career needs and the need of the organization. In Mando
training is job or task-oriented. It aims at enabling individuals to perform better on the
jobs they are currently doing. Therefore, Mando developed and implemented training
and development systems and programs that best help to achieve its objectives. The
results in the section below were generated to assess the Manpower planning process
required for effective Human Resource Management Service Delivery. Item mean
tabulation is used to present the results in table below.

22.257 and -29.993 are statistically significant at 5% level. Therefore, it can be
concluded that the OE’s of Mando strongly agree that every year OE’s are undergoing
40 hours of training which is arranged by the organization.

Criteria for selection as cell IDs/ TL has been laid down. HR department does
the selection. All OE’s know the selected candidates. HR identifies conversion
trainings for the ATMAC qualified OEs. Mando is conducting STAR program for
supervisors and cell leaders. Those who attended the STAR Program will be selected
as supervisors and cell leaders. All the cell leaders / supervisors have been trained in
STAR program.

OEs are strongly disagreeing that Training history record is not available for
employees. They are aware of training history record and it is available for OE’s.

4.4.4 Appraisal / Retention


The fourth HR audit practice of OE’s is Appraisal/ Retention. Executives have
recognized the significance of executive coaching in their professional performance,
both personally and organizationally. During the first years of executive coaching, it
was seen as an executive crutch to assist non-performers. Today, executive coaching
is looked upon as a necessary tool and in some cases reserved only for senior
executives. The results in the section below were generated to assess the Appraisal /
Retention process required for effective Human Resource Management Service
Delivery. Item mean tabulation is used to present the results in table below.

From the above table it is found that the ‘T’ values 40.840, 18.325, 26.087,
25.913, 29.494, 26.382, 26.205, 30.637, 30.309 and 19.924 are statistically significant
at 5% level. Therefore it can be concluded that the OE’s of Mando strongly agree that
HR have records of Mobile no./ address of all OEs, Summary of exit interviews with
analysis & corrective actions is sent to plant head, all Absconding cases are closed &
reported with a maximum of 40 days from the date of last attendance, OE attrition in
last 3 months is above the affordable Retention of apprentices / trainees hired in last 6
months is not encouraging, there is a structured process followed by HR to establish
connect with every OE once in a month (Eg. Lunch with JMD, Write to know, MRF
& Hostel Meeting), Criteria of knowledge allowance & special allowance is displayed
on Notice Board and Service Award accumulated amount for every OE is displayed
on notice board every month.

OEs moderately agree that the increment letters to OEs have been issued by
10th of the month and there is evidence of analysis of exit interviews & action plans.
The organization has to concentrate on the above two areas where the OE’s are not
fully satisfied. Delivery of increment letters and analysis of exit interviews & action
plans will affect the OE’s personally. They will be eager to get increment. This is the
basic expectation of the human being to be recognized. The employer should study
the employee’s psychology and do the needful to the employees. In the same way, the

124
OE’s also expect the evidence of analysis of exit interview and follow up action. This
is a basic drive of the OE’s to know the analysis of exit interview and follow up
action.

4.4.5 Recognition
Recognition of work performance focuses on employees’ work process, most
notably the creativity, innovation and continuous improvement they bring to their
work methods. In the context of the work process, the main indicators for this type of
recognition manifest themselves when individuals (or teams) feel recognized for their
expertise, skills, ingenuity and professional qualifications in the way they perform
their duties and solve problems. Subjects usually come away with a heightened sense
of esteem and personal competency.

Mando understands the importance of offering awards and incentives that


recognize, validate and value outstanding work. It keeps the employees motivated and
is an effective methods of reinforcing company expectations and goals, especially in
times when merit budgets are low (or even frozen), promotions are rare, health care
premiums are on the rise and overall job satisfaction is low.

The results in the section below were generated to assess the Recognition
process required for effective Human Resource Management Service Delivery. Item
mean tabulation is used to present the results in table below.

company is defined and compiled with HR practices. The OE’s are happy with
recognition HR audit practices of Mando. The Recognition criteria of Mando is
defined, compiled, and practiced by the employer as well as employees. Mando
recognizes 10% OEs each month. It shows that the HR department is recruiting OE’s
every month.

The HR department prepares annual calendar for monthly HR events. OEs are
involved in planning and conducting the HR events. The participation of OE’s in the
HR events are encouraged by the organization. Nowadays employees need relaxation.
They have a lot of stress. In order to enjoy happiness in their life Mando offers
recreational avenues for OEs after office hours like GYM, Volley Ball etc.

4.4.6 Contractual on line


The sixth HR audit practice is contractual on line. Contractual are helping the
OEs in work line. Contractual on line facility is available in Mando. The results in the
section below were generated to assess the contractual opinion for effective Human
Resource Management Service Delivery. Item mean tabulation is used to present the
results as presented in table below.

significant at 5% level. Therefore, it can be concluded that the OE’s of Mando
strongly agree that our company has contract labor working on stations where OEs
work.

An employment contract is written most frequently for high level jobs and for
senior employees who have a lot to lose if an employment relationship does not work
out as planned. An employment contract is also negotiated for union represented
employees. A union contract covers employment issues that an employment contract
may not, such as grievance procedures, hours of employment, representation by a
union steward, and layoff procedures.

4.4.7 Infrastructure
Infrastructure projects in developing countries like India are perceived as
highly vulnerable to risks that constrain financing. Some of the notable risks that need
to be reckoned are risks arising during the period of construction leading to time and
cost over-runs, operational risks, market risks, interest rate risks, foreign exchange
risks, payment risks, regulatory risks and political risks. At times, in the absence of
proper risk mitigation mechanism, the costs of the projects tend to increase and such
high level of risks cannot be traded off against high returns.

The aim of the policy makers should be to reduce perceived risks by


introducing greater policy clarity and, at the same time, providing an environment that
will reassure investors. Infrastructure is the important factor determining the interest
of employees to work more. The results in the section below were generated to assess
the facility of infrastructure required for effective Human Resource Management
Service Delivery.

Item mean tabulation is used to present the results in table below.

4.5 Experience of the Employees is a Critical Determinant of Their
Perception of HR Practices

After exhaustive analysis of data pertaining to staff and OE categories of


employees the researcher proceeded with the discussion aimed at testing the
Hypothesis. The purpose of this analysis of data at the stage is to test the hypothesis
based on the results to prove or disprove them.

Classification and Association of Staff on the Basis of the Existing HR


Audit Practices

After reviewing national and international literatures the researcher identified


10 HR Audit practices prevailing in Mando for staff. They are as follows. HR
Structure, Manpower, Performance Management, Talent identification, Creation and
Retention, Organization Culture, Training, Recruitment, Selection & Induction,
Record maintenance, Women’s Grievance Committee and Human Information
System. Based on the perceptual difference, staff are classified into different
categories in the following tables.

source: Primary Data
From the above table it is clear that the first cluster consists of 17% of
employees who moderately agree with the existing HR practices. Therefore this group
of employees may be named Pessimistic employees. The second group consists of

132
83% of employees who strongly agree with the HR practices. Hence they can be
named as Optimistic employees.

Association between Experience of Staff& Clusters of Staff

The two clusters of Staff namely Pessimistic employees and Optimistic


Employees and their association with 1-5 years, 5-10, 10-15, 20 above years of

From the above table it is found that 38.2% of Pessimistic Employees are
found to be in 1- 10 years of experience and 71.1% of Optimistic Employees are
distributed over the 5-10 years of experience. It is further found that 17.6% Optimistic
Employees are distributed in the 10- 15 years of experience and 1.8% of Optimistic
Employees are found above 20 years of experience. This leads to computation of Chi-
Square statistics and the results thereof are presented in the table 4.56

From the above table it is found that the Pearson Chi-Square statistics 39.534
and p = .000 are statistically significant at 5% level. Therefore, it can be concluded
that there is association between the perceptual difference among Staff regarding HR
Audit practices and their years of experience. The employees with 1 -5 years of
experience have a different perception regarding HR Audit practices at Mando from
those with 5 -10 years of experience and above.

133
Experience gives better understanding of HR audit practices. Pessimistic
employees are having less years of experience that is one to five years of experience.
We can see less pessimistic employees in 5-10 years of experience and above.
Optimistic employees who have more than five years of experience are agreeing the
HR audit practices they acquired.

Classification of OE’s on the Basis of the Existing HR Audit Practices

The existing HR Audit practices of OE’s are Recruitment, Induction, Training,


Appraisal / Retention, Recognition, Contractual on line, Infrastructure, Mando
Redressed Forum and Women’s Grievance Committee. On the basis of these the
perceptual difference among the OE’s are classified through cluster analysis as stated
in the following tables

source: Primary Data
From the above table it is found that the first cluster consist of 21% of
employees who moderately agree with the HR practices and disagree with the training
methods. Therefore, the group of employees can be named Improvement Seekers.
The second group consist of 79% of employees who strongly agree with the HR
practices. Hence, they can be named Fulfilled Employees.

134
Association between Experience of OE’s & Clusters of OE’s

The two clusters of OE’s namely Improvement seekers and fulfilled


Employees and their association with 1-5 years, 5-10, 10-15, and 20 above are
presented in the table 4.59

over the 5-10 years of experience. It is further found that no improvement seekers are
distributed in the 10- 15 years of experience and .3% of fulfilled Employees are found
above 20 years of experience. This leads to computation Chi- Square statistics as
presented in the table 4.60

Source: Primary Data
From the above table it is found that the Pearson Chi-Square statistics 15.772
and p = .001 are statistically significant at 5% level. Therefore, it can be concluded
that there is association between the perceptual differences among OE’s regarding HR
Audit practices and their years of experience. The employees with different years of
experience have different perceptions regarding HR Audit practices at Mando. The
high percentage of Improvement seekers are found within one to five years of
experience. We will not find any improvement seekers more than five years of
experience. The fulfilled employees have more than five years of experience differ
from other group.

135
It becomes apparent that there are significant differences among employees
across the whole organization. These differences are perhaps influenced by the
number of years of experience gained by them in Mando Automotive India Limited.
The experience-based differences in their perception require the management to
evolve and adopt experience specific HR practices and policies. Since there are
significant differences in perception among different experienced group it may be
concluded that experience of the employees is a critical determinant of their
perception of HR practices. As such, experience holds relevance in perception
formation among employees.

4.6 Staff’s HR Audit Perception


To find employees HR Audit perception the researcher uses the factor
analysis. Through this factor analysis, the common factor is identified. In this stage,
the researcher applied total variance, Component Matrix, Communalities and
component score coefficient matrix tests for each category with intention of testing
and deciding whether the data are fit for the application of factor analysis and cluster
analysis. The whole section focuses on identifying the departments performing well in
each of the selected categories like HR structure, Manpower, Performance
management, Talent identification, Organization Culture, Training Recruitment,
Selection & Induction, Record maintenance, Women’s Grievance committee and
HRIS. It also aims at disclosing the best groups for implementing the suggestions to
be made. The section begins with the analysis of HR structure of the Mando.

The researcher has decided to name the underlying factors based on the
loadings of component matrix based on the high loadings pattern. The Factor is
named as Implementation of Business strategy in HR. Having completed the
component matrix of HR structure, The researcher attempted communality test for
further validation of the data so that Factor analysis and Cluster analysis can be done.

Communality is the amount of information about each variable captured by
the selected underlying factors and from the above table we can conclude the
communality is high for both the variables, which indicates the factor is able to
capture the majority of the information in the underlying variables. Further, the
component score coefficient Matrix of HR Structure was done to probe the data.

A glance through the above table 4.98 would reveal the staff’s perception over
the factors of HR Practices are as follows;

1. Implementation of Business Strategy in HR (IBF)

The department of IT staff has scored well in the implementation of business


strategy relevant to Human Resources (HR). This result shows that the IT department
staff has strongly accepted that there is a strong link between the business strategies
and HR Practices and this facilitated the effective execution of business strategies of
IT department in particular and the company in general. The HR staff have also
secured highly vis-a.vis the implementation of business strategy. This is proved by the

157
fact that they have secured the second highest ranking among all the staff.
Interestingly the staff at higher levels in the hierarchy known conventionally as expats
staff has accepted that this company is doing well in efficiently executing business
strategy by harmonizing such strategies with HR Practices in an ambiguous manner.
On the pessimistic side a few of the departments such as VD Staff, Finance Staff,
Production Engineering Staff and general staff have scored rather poorly in this
category. This can be interpreted as their dissatisfaction over the connectivity between
business strategy and HR Practices. Understandably, the lack of effective coordination
between business strategy and HR Practices could very well accept the functioning of
these departments and fulfillment of objectives and goals of these department and
organization in a prompt and efficient manner. The organization may do well by
focusing on those departments where perception of employees is negative concerning

159

factors like compensation will have an adverse effect on the performance and

relatively lesser performance by these departments; compared to other institutions it
may be a creditable performance.

rankings. It is thus clear that, there is a harmonious interpersonal relationship between
managers and employees of these departments. SC & L, General staff & PD staff may

case of Mando the outlook of employees in certain core departments towards
employer satisfaction measures are not very satisfactory. Though there may not be
any looming threat in the short term, the organization ought to be careful in arresting

fostering HR activities.

4.6.13 Factor Analyses for Staff on HR Audit Effectiveness of Mando

The researcher has strived to assess the nature of perception of employees


belonging to different departments about four critical factors that have a bearing on
the audit effectiveness as mentioned earlier. Those factors are;

1. Competency and Talent Management (CTM)

2. Career Management (CM)

3. Production Management and Quality Control (PMQC)

4. Soft-skills Management and Emotional Management (SM&EM)

The researcher has done factor analysis on competency and Talent


management in the first instance and the results are presented in Table 4.107

It is apparent from the above-mentioned table that the different departments
have fared differently in their scorings pertaining to the four factors.

1. Competency and Talent Management

As regards competency and Talent management, the Production Engineering


staff have scored highly which indicate that they have affirmative perception about
Mando’s competency and Talent Management strategies. It may be safely assumed
that the audit practices of this company paved the way for effective and state of the art
maintenance and management of competency and talents in this company. This
positive perception does augur well for this department. A few other departments like
VD department, Finance department, SQA have also indicated a positive perception
about competency and Talent management in Mando ltd. It may be disheartening to
note that the pivotal departments like IT,QC & Maintenance have shown a negative
outlook towards the policies & strategies of Mando Ltd. regarding competency &
Talent management. According to this result of this analysis the company should
concentrate on improving the effectiveness of its auditing method as related to
competency and talent management. It is an urgent necessity for this company to
work on the existing competency & talent management techniques, so that the

163
departments which performed less than their expectation acquire a positive image of
Competency & Talent Management through their experience.

2. Career Management

In career management, the Expat staff have scored highly which indicate that
there is a conducive interpersonal relationship among the employees, there is job
security, increase of monetary benefits and Career growth & opportunities constitute
career management. The SQA and General staff also positively perceived that there is
proper career management in Mando. The IT, Production Engineering and VD staff
are not very pleased towards the policies of career management. The company has to
pay attention to improving the factors affecting career management specially for the
departments with high negative perception.

3. Production Management and Quality

In the area of Production Management and Quality control, the IT,


Maintenance and Expat staff are ranked highly for their productivity and significant
Quality of work life. It is a clear sign that the Manpower, material, money, machine
are maintained properly. In contrast, the Finance, General staff and QC department
staff have scored lowest rankings. It is surprising that the QC staff themselves have
showed negative feelings towards production and QC initiatives. This does not speak
well about the QC policies of the study unit at least from the point of view of certain
crucial departments like Finance, General Staff and QC.

4. Soft skills management and Emotional Management

As regards to Soft skills management and Emotional Management the


department of VD staff have secured high rank. It is important to note that there are
few job related problems and there is high perfection in ethical behavior and
organizational culture. The Expats and Production Engineers liked the company’s
policies and practices relating to Soft skills management and Emotional Management.
The PPC, Finance and General staff s expressed pessimistic opinion towards Soft
skills management and Emotional Management. It is a great surprise that the
significant groups of the company do not favor the policies and practices of Soft skills
management and Emotional Management. The company can have an eye on Soft
skills management and Emotional Management so that the least favored groups can be
satisfied.

In this stage, the researcher applied total variance, Component Matrix,


Communalities and component score coefficient matrix tests for each category of OEs
with intention of testing and deciding whether the data are fit for the application of
factor analysis and cluster analysis. The whole section focuses on identifying the
departments performing well in each of the selected categories like Recruitment,
Induction, Training, Appraisal/ Retention, Recognition, Contractual On line,
Infrastructure, MRF and Women’s Grievance committee. It also aims at disclosing the
best groups of OEs for implementing the suggestions to be made. The section begins
with the analysis of OEs Recruitment practices of the Mando.

The results of the above table give the individual department rankings to find
the appropriate perception of OEs of Mando. Let us discuss in detail.

187
1. Recruitment Policies (RP)

MSG department have obtained higher scores. They are highly satisfied with
the recruitment policies of Mando. Departments like SHOX and IVA also ranked
second and third highest rankings. It is a clear sign that the recruitment policies are
concerned with identifying the range of applicants for appropriate perspective
employee for an organization. The MBA,CCA and DBA departments have good
number of OEs compared with other departments have secured very low rankings.
These departments have negative opinion about the recruitment policies of Mando.
The result urges the organization to modify the recruitment practices that will attract
the OEs to find the better placements.

2. Induction follow-ups (IF)

In the area of Induction follow ups the MSG departments have secured high
scores. This leads the OEs belonging to MSG department to have better understanding
about induction follow up with the mind of the company. The SHOX and WCA
departments also firmly confirm that the induction training programs, Training
modules and the other follow up actions which are carried out by the company, satisfy
the good number of OEs. The DBA, DBA, CCA & CCM departments have expressed
their negative opinion towards induction follow up practices. The half portion of
employees are not fully satisfied the induction follow up programs. These
departments may require the special attention of the management.

3. Training Programs (TP)

The OEs belonging to WCA department have obtained highest ranking in


training programs along with WCA,SHOX and MSG department as they strongly
affirm that the training program are job and task oriented. These groups assure that
there is a growth of both the individual and organizational if they attend the training
programs. The MCA, CCA and senior OEs have poor rankings. This is quite obvious
that the seniors are dissatisfied about the training programs. The senior OEs may not
fine the effective programs to progress further. The organization can scrutinize the
low-level areas of training programs, which can seek more attention of the senior
OEs.

188
4. Appraisal Process (AP)

In line with the training programs the WCA department has scored high level
ranks in appraisal process. The WCA departments strongly believed that there is a
significant and transforming measure by practicing appraisal process which developed
the personal efficiency and organization productivity. The MSG, and SHOX
department having good number of employees also happy with the OEs appraisal
process. On the contrary, the senior, CCM and DBA departments have obtained
poorest rankings of appraisal process. This result is not pleasing because the senior
OEs are not in favor of the policies and practices of appraisal process.

5. Appraisal Follow ups (AF)

Every company has to undergo appraisal follow ups programs for better
development and to meet the internal and external current challenges forced by
competing factors. The MSG departments have secured highest ranking and it shows
that the appraisal follow-ups would satisfy the emerging interest of the OEs. The
MCM and senior OEs are pleased by the appraisal follow up programs. Rather the
remarkable departments like MBA,MCA and IVA departments have developed
negative perception towards appraisal follow ups which can create chaos among the
employees growth and organization growth.

6. Recognition (R)

As we discussed earlier the MSG department repeatedly have scored high


rank. This is the evidence that the recognition practices played a vital role to capture
the attentions of the OEs and to stimulate the working measure of OEs, which
ascertain the high performance of employees. The SHOX,WCA also favored the
above factor. DBA ,CCA and senior OEs have a negative opinion towards recognition
process.

7. Basic Accommodation Requirements (BAR)

IBA, WCA,SHOX departments have obtained high rankings. It shows that


they are happy with the facilities of Basic Accommodation Requirements provided by
the company. The senior MBA,CCM OEs are pessimistic about the Basic
Accommodation Requirements especially on the shop floor.

189
8. Add-on Facilities (AF)

In this field the MSG, MBA & senior OEs have secured highest rankings
whereas IBA,WCA and SHOX department OEs expects more add on facilities from
Mando.

9. Security Measures (SM)

Since OEs are working with machines, there is a high necessity for
strengthening security measures regularly in the shop floor. It is highly accepted by
the IBA,MBA,MCA departments whereas the senior WCA and MSG departments felt
that the security measures provided by the company is not applicable to their
expectations. This can disturb the smooth running of the organization.

10. Mando Redressal Forum (MRF)

WCA departments have attained the highest ranking about MRF. The
communicative aspects have powerful impact in the life of the OEs as well as in the
organization. The positive opinion is confirmed by SHOX and MSG departments,.
But DBA, senior and CCA are highly dissatisfied about the functions of MRF.

11. WGC

SHOX, MSG and IBA departments have secured high rankings of WGC. The
majority of the women OEs come under this department. Of course, this result shows
that there is a continuous effort made by WGC for the women empowerment in
Mando. In contrast, MBA, Senior and CCA departments are not pleased with the
functioning of WGC.

It is apparent from the above-mentioned table that the different departments
have fared differently in their scorings pertaining to the four factors.

1. Career Management

In the field of Career Management the MSG departments have scored high
ranks followed by MBA and IVA department. The MSG,IVA and MBA department
make up half of the OE employees in the company. They believe that there is career
growth and development opportunities are more. They also strongly accept that there
is continuous assurance of job security and increase in monetary and non-monetary
benefits. The departments like DBA, WCA and CCM have scored poor rankings. It

191
shows their slight dissatisfaction over career management policies of the company as
compared to other departments.

2. Quality of Work Life

MSG department believes that this company provides a desirable Quality of


work life for the OEs. Further, the departments like DBA and IVA confirm this
perception. As against this, the engineers of WCA and CCM have developed a
negative opinion towards the Quality of work life. This warrants the immediate
attention of the management.

3. Production Management

IVA, MBA and WCA departments have scored highly on this factor, it is
obvious that the OEs contribution is more in the field of Production Management.
That outcome of production management is most by through the hard work of the OEs
is an undeniable fact in this company. This may be the reason why there are fewer job
related problems among OEs. The CCM, Senior and MSG departments are not
favourly disposed towards production management policies of the company and this
is borne out by their low rankings.

4. Personal Development

The CHM, SHOX and MCA departments have rated this factor highly in their
assessment. These departments generally consist of a higher number of OEs than staff
and they admit that there is rapid personal development after joining this company.
They are proud of working in this company and also feel that their individual
efficiency is developed; they also feel that there is a good scope in ethical behavior
and chance for learning decision making abilities. In contrast, the MSG, IVA and
WCA departments have a predominantly negative opinion towards personal
development initiatives of Mando.

An overview of the whole analysis carried out makes it clear, that there are
significant differences in the perception pattern of staff and OE categories in Mando

197
Automotive India Limited. Specifically speaking the staff consistently perceives the
HR policies and practices in a more positive manner than the OE’s of this company.
The perceptual differences may have been caused by different nature of job and work
practices performed by these two distinct groups. It may thus be inferred that the
second hypothesis namely employee perception of HR practices differ significantly
between staff and OE categories in Mando Automotive India Limited stands good and
proved.

The above statistical analysis clearly indicates that the HR audit practices
significantly influence the effectiveness of HR policies and practices of Mando
Automotive India Limited. In other words, HR audit is a sure way of enhancing the
efficiency of HR practices in a qualitative manner. Generally the organization
members comprising staff and OEs concerned with a view that the HR audit is an
useful exercise in enhancing the quality of HR practices. In other words it may be said
that organizational members do not consider HR audit as an exercise in futility as they
are aware of the existence of HR audit system and practices of Mando. By extension
of these factors, it may be inferred that the hypothesis that organizational members
tend to view HR audit as an exercise in futility due to its obscurity and qualitative
nature does not hold good and is thus rejected.

206
4.12 Corporate Initiatives to Popularize the Uses and Viability of HR
audit Practices are Grossly Inadequate and Unpersuasive

Though the research studies on HR auditing are few and far in between even at
the global arena, the few studies conducted hitherto reveal the growing importance of
HR audit practices for the companies. These studies have clearly proved the utility
value of HR audits in enhancing the quality and efficacy of the HR practices of
organizations both from the individual and organizational perspectives. In case of
India, Mando is one of the leading companies practicing HR audit in an optimal and
cost-effective manner. The number of coveted rewards and honors bestowed on this
company vouch for its sagacity in the usage of HR auditing for shaping and reshaping
its HR policies. However, most other companies in India are simply ignorant about
the role, relevance and even existence of HR audits, leave alone the implementation
of HR audits. This may present a bleak picture of the HR audit practices but this
practice is fast catching up at least in transnational companies. As far as India is
concerned, it is true that corporate initiatives to popularize the uses and viability of
HR audit practices are grossly inadequate and unpersuasive. It may thus be concluded
based on the empirical studies conducted on HR audit in different parts of the world
and the researcher’s own experience that the hypothesis that corporate initiatives to
popularize the uses and viability of HR audit practices are grossly inadequate and
unpersuasive holds partially true.
