An Empirical Study of the HR Professionals' Effectiveness in the Largest Privatized Bank of Pakistan

This on going study examines the human resource (HR) professionals’ effectiveness through the lens of HR professionals’ competencies and HR professionals’ willingness at the large privatized bank in Pakistan. The Human Resource Competency Study (HRCS) model is used in this research. Impact of HR professionals’ social and technical competencies and HR professionals’ willingness on their effectiveness is examined. The analysis reveals that the HR professionals’ social competencies have a higher significant correlation with HR professionals’ effectiveness than the HR professionals’ technical competencies and their willingness. At the outset it is also concluded that the HR professionals of the bank are lacking the competencies and hence have a negative impact on their effectiveness in the banking sector of Pakistan.
