The Impact of Human Resource Policies on Organizational Productivity in the Ghana Education Service (Ges): Role of Organizational Culture

This study investigates the relationship between Human Resource (HR)
policies and Organizational Productivity (OP), with a particular focus on the
mediating role of Organizational Culture (OC) within the Ghana Education
Service (GES). Using an explanatory research design, structured
questionnaires were administered to GES employees to assess key variables
related to HR policies, OC, and OP. The data were analyzed using the Process
Macro Regression method in SPSS to test the proposed hypotheses. Findings
reveal that HR policies significantly influence OP and that OC plays a
mediating role, enhancing the effectiveness of these policies. When HR
practices are implemented within a supportive organizational culture,
productivity outcomes improve, highlighting the interconnected nature of
internal policy and culture. While the study offers practical insights for
educational managers and policymakers, particularly in optimizing
workplace culture to reinforce HR efforts, its findings are context-specific
and may have limited generalizability beyond similar educational
institutions. Nonetheless, this research contributes to the literature by
emphasizing the importance of cultural alignment in maximizing the impact
of HR policies on organizational performance.
