Introduction
Critically analyzing the effectiveness of human resource commitment towards
organizational practices, the articles have shed light on different adaptive nature of the
organizations. The purpose of this study is to critically analyze student response and highlight
the findings so that the further research scopes can be increased. Identifying the research
limitations, at the end of this study recommendations have been provided.
Part A
Student A
Organizational commitment towards the Human resource practices can be considered as
the important process for reducing the negative organizational environment as well as ensuring
the positive growth the workplace (Collis and Hussey 2013).
Similarities and differences
In the first article, the role of HR has been mentioned as the proactive part of business
operations. The major similarity in between the article and responds is here the implementation
process of formalized HR practices have been considered as the major priority in organizational
operations. However, the major dissimilarity is here understanding the relationship between
organizational commitments towards HR activities specifically in Konya Turkey. I believe, the
importance of HR practices towards the organizational growth cannot be limited in a particular
industry.
Lessons from the reviewed article
1st article

4BUSINESS RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
By reviewing the article, I have learned that the strong relationship between human
resource activity and organizational commitment can play an important role for reducing
employee turnover in the workplace.
Proposal for additional research
By critically analyzing the articles, it can be said that these research have been developed
based on some specific industry or organization. By highlighting different areas of human
resource management and those impact towards bringing the growth in organizational
operations, the research has discussed about the strong relationship between organizational
operations and HR activities (Federici, Boon and Den Hartog 2019). In that case, for bringing the
significant impact on the Human resource operations by understanding different situational
impact on the organization, further research can be developed depending on the HR
improvement policies.
Question
How the HRM values can be increased for driving the organizational performance?
Student B
Managing the human resource practices effectively, engagement of local community can
play an important role.
Similarities and differences
The major similarity is in both the cases, contribution of local community for influencing
positive culture in the workplace (Federici, Boon and Den Hartog 2019). I also believe, with the
effective contribution of local community, it becomes easier for the HR manger to implement
positive organizational growth.

5BUSINESS RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
However, in this article, community engagement as well as leadership style adapted by
the organization, is being considered as the important factor for SMEs. I believe, the factors
which have been mentioned in the article, not only applicable for a particular industry or
organization, it can bring drastic change in the global field.
Lesson from reviewed article
2nd article
I have also learned about the important role of human resource management in case of
understanding the implementation of labor law in conjunction with the indigenous practices in
the SMEs. Here, it is clearly mentioned that the local community culture can play an important
role for influencing the human resource operations in an organization (Bucker et al. 2016).
Analyzing the second respond, it can be said that in case of reinforcing the organizational
changes, implementing an effective HR strategy is needed.
Proposal for additional research
It can also be said that the research has increased the further research scope for
introducing effective HR practice through community engagement, which can be applicable for
the global business industry.
Question
How diversified organizational culture ensure the long term sustainability in an
organization?

Student C
In order to motivate the customers, the marketing initiatives adapted by the company
plays an important role.
Similarities and differences
In this third article, it has been mentioned that depending on the positive relationship
between the customer and the organization, the customer relationship can be driven (Cheung-
Judge and Holbeche 2015). I also believe, in the competitive business environment, maintaining
the strong customer relationship has become necessary for motivating the consumption behavior
of the customers. However, in this article, it is mentioned that the consumption rate of the
customer mainly focuses on economic conditions, I believe, society has strong impact in case of
driving the consumption behavior of the customers.
Lesson from reviewed article
3rd article
In the third article analysis, I have learned about different theoretical aspects of customer
satisfaction. By highlighting the marketing theory, the article has helped to learn about the
customer satisfaction performance index that can help to drive the positive relationship towards
improving the company performance (Yeung et al. 2013).
Proposal for additional research
The third analysis has aroused the scope for researching for understanding the changing
consumption trends of individuals and its impact on organizational performance.

7BUSINESS RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Question
What can be the marketing initiatives for dealing with the changing consumption
behavior of the customers?
Part B
Findings
Analyzing the article, it has been identified that strong interrelationship between
organizational commitment and HR operations not only brings the significant impact for
managing the increasing employment standard, but also in case of droving customer satisfaction,
it is very important (Collis and Hussey 2013). Analyzing the situation in South Africa and Seta,
it has been identified that human resource as well as strategic development has become necessary
in this place. In case of introducing the statutory national skill, it has become necessary for
introducing the HR practices in the area. The significance of Human resource strategy depends
on the joint initiatives of NGO, Government and educational sectors of the South Africa society.
Based on the findings, it has also been identified that in order to implement the strong HR
strategies, local community engagement can play a beneficial role as it is important for driving
the organizational culture. It has also been identified from the article that the core values of an
organization such as honesty, integrity, confidentiality and security are being maintained during
the HR practices. In case of implementing such practices in South Africa, learning and
development process is needed. By continuing this, it can also be said that depending on the
positive relationship between the customer satisfaction and organizational performance can drive
strong impact towards assuring efficiency among the employees (Collis and Hussey 2013).

8BUSINESS RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Interrelationship between the research findings and the collected data
After In order to conduct the research paper, interview questions have been developed
and the managers of Seta have been participated in the interview process. Depending on different
parameters such as training, job skills, strategic communication, Performance feedbacks,
behavioral characteristics of individuals and interaction facilitation have been considered as the
important influential factor for driving the organizational performance (Collis and Hussey 2013).
Analyzing different journals, internet sources and research articles it has been identified that
based on the development of effective strategies, HR practices can be properly implemented in
Seta. From the collected information, it has been identified that in case of implementing the
formalized HR practices, proper contribution of local community is required.
Research limitation
Analyzing the research, it can be said that the entire research has been developed
depending on three articles, however due to the vast area of Human resource management, more
secondary research could have been done for strengthening the content. By continuing this it can
also be said that lack of statistical data and unclear information regarding the HR practices, it can
be tough for the learner to understand its authenticity.
Conclusion and recommendation
In this study, it can be concluded that, in order to drive the organizational operations,
effective human resource activities are important. Analyzing the issues in the research, it can be
recommended that new model should be introduced as depending on the situation the HR
implementation needs may change. On the other hand, it can also be suggested that more
statistical information need to be included in the research paper for maintaining its authenticity.
