A multi-respondent survey of companies was undertaken and data collected were derived from questionnaires completed by 225 human resource managers from 186 out of 195 organizations listed on the Nigeria stock exchange that have implemented performance management systems. The survey was subjected to regression and correlation analysis as well as descriptive statistics in pursuance of the study’s stated objectives. The questions used to measure the concepts were developed on the basis of the literature and their content was validated by twenty managers. Organizational performance was measured through a set of questionnaire that we developed based on previous studies. The internal reliability of the scales varies from .77 to .90. The results show that strategic human resource management practices affect performance of organizations generally and that recruitment and selection practices if strategically integrated with business in Nigeria will positively lead to organizational performance. Our findings also show that majority of enterprises in Nigeria had a LOW level of recruitment and selection strategic integration in business strategy formulation and implementation. We recommend that more strategic elements of human resource management practices be integrated into the performance management system to increase competitiveness and the survival of Nigerian organizations.Read More
