Abstract :

The practices of managing people have undergone tremendous changes. Previously, the duties of human resources management normally centered on staffing activities such as hiring and firing, keeping personnel records and organizing other personnel activities. However, today public and private organizations can no longer afford to look at people as a commodity to be exploited to exhaustion and then discarded. The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which human resource management practices are utilized in public secondary schools with a case study of Kiambu East District. The study used a descriptive research design,the target population consisted of the senior and middle level heads and other teaching staff of all the 19 public secondary schools in Kiambu East District. 40 respondents were selected using stratified random sampling method. Data was collected using semi –structured questionnaires and was analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings suggested that public schools in Kiambu East have to a reasonable extent utilized HRM practices such as training, vigorous selection process, compensation, and supervisory support. It also revealed that performance appraisal and employee participation in decision making have been practiced to a very little extent. The concluding section recommends that managers carefully re–evaluate the extent to which innovative HR practices could be implemented within their departments. This is so because some of these practices may be inappropriate to public secondary schools sector organizations due to organizational structure.
