Abstract

The HR is one of the important departments for any organization to accomplish its management tasks in an effective and efficient manner. Major failures of projects may occur due to lack of proper HR planning. This study is aimed to assess whether training and compensations of a project team have any links with the project performance. The data was collected from 73 employees from four main consultant companies working together on a project, located in Lahore, Pakistan. Responses were gone through EFA and Cronbach's Alpha test to assure consistency and reliability. Finally, path analysis in SEM using Amos was run to explore the nature and strength of the links. Results suggest that both training and compensation of project team members are positively associates with project performance.
