Benchmarking the Hr Practices of an Engineering Institute with Public Sector Industry for Performance Enhancement

This study has been undertaken to compare the human resource development climate (HRDC) in an engineering institute with that of public sector industry in India, based on seven dimensions reflecting the nature of HRDC, and making suggestions to improve the HRDC in the institute. A sample size of 100 individuals each from the public sector and the institute was selected on a proportionate representative random sampling basis. Besides the mean and standard deviation, t-test test has been carried out to test the hypothesis, which investigates the difference applicable to HRDC. Based on the results, suggestions are made to enhance the HRD mechanisms of the engineering institute
