Abstract:
This research deals with the role of Human Resources Management in enhancing organizational performance and the mechanisms that help determine the cooperation between human resources management and organizational strategies in Iraqi banks. The results showed the effectiveness of human resources management participation in the organizational strategy. This contribution has three connotations. First, researchers in both human resources management and strategy can benefit from using the most effective strategy implementation process by involving human resources management in the strategic management of banks in particular or organizations in general, taking into account the proposed mechanisms. Secondly, research is useful for practitioners in the selection of high-level team members in the implementation of strategies. Finally, Human Resource Management and organizational strategic cooperation can be considered a source of business value because it sets clear paths for the implementation of tasks and improves job outputs. This The methodology applied to verify the hypotheses was a qualitative research method using a descriptive approach in interviews and questionnaire in the banking sector in Iraq, taking into account that the introduced strategic cooperation mechanisms will add new value to HRM professionals so that their knowledge becomes not only technical but also strategic in the bank's business. The results of the study indicated that human resources management can play a positive role in the integration and harmonization of bank management strategies to improve overall organizational performance. we believed that human resources management has an effective strategic role by being a partner of senior management teams in dealing with issues such as the employment contract, the proactive design of labor cost structures, as a benchmark in strategies to increase shareholder value, and as a motivational policy for employees within these important financial organizations. These aspects strongly reflect the contributions of Human Resources Management and require that its features achieve productive profits in the future. the results were positive. the questionnaire and its answers were analyzed by 300 workers in banks. we chose 10 leading banks in Iraq were analyzed through the average, standard deviation, Alpha cronbach and Anova model. the details of the questionnaire were also mentioned because it was unique and was written by the researcher with the help of banking experts in Iraq.
