Human Resource Management

This study examined the impact of the perception of compensation management practices on employee performance in the hospitality industry in Benin City, Nigeria. Specifically, it explored the relationships between salaries and wages, fringe benefits, staff allowances, incentives, and training opportunities and their influence on employee performance. A survey research design, specifically the cross-sectional variant, was adopted. The study population comprised all employees in the hospitality industry in Benin City, and a stratified random sampling technique was used to select a representative sample of 385 respondents. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire, with a retrieval rate of 98%, and analysed through descriptive statistics, correlation, and multiple regression analysis using SPSS version 24. Findings revealed that fringe benefits, allowances for staff, and incentives had a positive significant correlation with employees' performance, which testifies the importance of both monetary and non-onetary
rewards in motivating employees. However, wages and salaries did not statistically significantly impact performance, i.e., base pay alone may not be the productivity driver for the hospitality sector. Opportunities for training had a strong but weak positive relationship with performance, i.e., better organised and industry-specific training programmes need to be implemented. Based on these findings, the study recommended that hospitality organizations adopt an overall compensation policy by offering attractive fringe benefits, staff allowances formalized, and properly designed incentive schemes to enhance employees' motivation and performance. Besides, training programmes need to be developed according to the functional needs of employees in order to realize their full potential

The management of personnel records in many organizations remains largely manual, leading to inefficiencies, data redundancy, and delays in decision-making. This study focuses on the design and implementation of a computerized Personnel Management Information System (PMIS) to address these challenges and improve human resource management processes. The system was developed using Python as the programming language, MySQL as the database management system, and a web-based framework to ensure ease of access and usability. The proposed system automates key human resource functions, including employee registration, attendance tracking, leave management, payroll computation, and report generation. A modular approach was adopted during implementation, ensuring each system component operates independently while maintaining seamless interaction with the central database. Testing was conducted using unit testing, integration testing, system testing, and user acceptance testing, demonstrating that the system is reliable, accurate, and efficient. The results show that the developed system significantly improves personnel data management by reducing errors, enhancing data security, and providing timely reports for informed decision making. This system offers a scalable solution that can be adopted by organizations seeking to modernize their human resource management operations, thereby demonstrating the importance of information technology in enhancing organizational efficiency.
