Integrating human resource management strategies to optimize production and operations in SMEs

Abstract. The purpose of this research is to design a human resources performance management system in order to improve the productivity of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). For this purpose, a questioner has been designed to distribute among the experts of the active SMEs companies in Iraq. Based on the collected data, the statistical analysis was done. The statistical population of the study was 266 managers and experts active in the field of SMEs, of which 142 were chosen through multi-stage sample approach. Research tools for evaluating individual, group and organizational operation variables and enhancing the total efficacy are researcher-made questionnaires which were measured by using content validity and reliability determined through internal consistency within Cronbach’s alpha method.

The findings of the research show that the variable of collective management with a maximum t-value 3.92 and Cronbach’s alpha 0.93 had a greater impact on developing economic status than other variables. Furthermore, the result of the research indicated that according to the fit indices of the model, the proposed model is the most appropriate one (up to 62%) for establishing the human resources management model in order to improve the productivity of SMEs.
