An Empirical Study of Human Resource Management Challenges Faced by HR Managers

This study empirically examines the challenges faced by Human Resource (HR) managers in contemporary organizations. A quantitative research design was adopted, and primary data was collected through a structured questionnaire from HR professionals across various industries.
The study identifies key challenges such as talent acquisition, employee engagement, technological adaptation, and compliance management. Statistical analysis reveals that employee retention and engagement are the most critical concerns affecting organizational performance.
The findings provide practical and theoretical insights by linking observed challenges with Strategic Human Resource Management frameworks. However, the study is limited by sample size and geographic concentration. Future research may expand the sample and incorporate qualitative methods for deeper insights.
