Manpower planning has five essential elements namely analyzing the current
manpower resource, reviewing employee utilization, forecasting the demand for
employees, forecasting supply and developing a manpower plan and those includes
a number of relating issues. Considering these a total of nine factors were selected to
observe the implications over the sales and profit turnover as mentioned in the above
table. The overall objective of the study was the assessment of the manpower
planning on organizational performance/effectiveness and the other objectives of
study was to observe factor wise and overall contribution to the organizational
performance namely sales and profit turnover.
It was assumed that the selected factors has no influence on manpower planning
which will be observed on organizational performance in the field of sales and profit
turnover. The independent variable considered were mainly factors of manpower
planning namely employee turnover, human resource policies, technological change,
performance appraisal and level of practice, compensation, human resource
information system, HR in decision making, employee gap, departmentation and HR
plans and the dependent variables considered were sales and profit turnover. The
influence of different factors on manpower planning were assessed through
regression analysis Three models of regression analysis was conducted namely
linear, quadratic and logistic through statistical package SPSS. The information were
collected by direct interview with HR professional of the organization by designing
questionnaire and from secondary document
The contribution of the pharmaceutical industries in Bangladesh economy is no doubt
indispensable and it is expanding. The pharmaceutical industries in the country
produced medicines worth about $715 million in 2007 with a market growing over
12% annually over the last half a decade. The average increment of the involvement
of the manpower is 36% indicating that the pharmaceutical industries have a wider
prospect in the economy of the country. The pharmaceutical firms are taken as
sample for the study because the involvement of manpower is significant. A total of
around 10% pharmaceutical firms samples were considered in the study.
The regressions analysis indicated that some of the independent variables have
significant impact on sales and profit turnover of the pharmaceutical firms and some
have less significant or insignificant impact. The impact of the independent variables
namely employee turnover, human resource policies, technological change, and the
7
performance appraisal and its level of practice are significant over the sales turnover
in the sample pharmaceutical firms. There is a linear relationship existed between the
employee turnover and the sales turnover that is with the increase of the employee
turnover the sales turnover will be increased. The increase of the number of human
resource policies in the pharmaceutical firms increased the sales turnover. The
existence of the human resources polices have significant impact on the sales
turnover. The considered policies in the study were the recruitment and selection
policy, training and development policy, successions planning, service rule, retention
policy and such policies help the pharmaceutical firms to made more appropriate plan
of its manpower towards the attainment of the sales target. The relation ship between
the sales turnover and the existence of human resource policies was curvilinear in
nature.
The study result illustrated that the readiness of the pharmaceutical firms for the
adoption of the technological change, impacted the sales turnover positively. It will
ensure the standard and quality of product for competing with the national as well as
with the international market. The analysis result indicated the pharmaceutical firms

those are ready to adopt the technological changes have higher sales turnover. The
levels of practice of the performance appraisal in the pharmaceutical firms impacted
the sales turnover. The level of practice of the performance appraisal varied form
functional, partly functional and non-functional. The relation ship of the level of
practice of performance appraisal impacted the sales turnover in a curvilinear way
that is, the highest level of sales turnover was achieved for those firms where the
system is fully functional. The other independent variable namely compensation,
human resource information system, HR in decision-making, employee gap,
departmentation and HR plans has less significant impact or have no significant
impact on the sales turnover.
The employee turnover and the human resources polices have significant positive
impact on the profit turnover. The relationship between the employee turnover and
the profit turnover is linear that is with the increase of the employee turnover the profit
turnover would be increased. The relationship between the existences of human
resource policies was curvilinear.
The organizational performance of the pharmaceutical firms would increase in terms
of sales turnover, when the firms considers the significant factors in the order of
Employee Turnover > Human Resource Policies > Technological Change >
Performance Appraisal and its Level of Practice. In the case of the profit turnover
order of consideration would be Employee Turnover > Human Resource Policies.
The contribution of other factors over sales and profit turnover under this study may
be interlinked with each other or with the identified significant factors over the sales
and profit turnover rather than directly sales and profit turnover. The order of relative
importance of different independent variable and their impact on the sales and profit
turnover of pharmaceutical firms are presented in the schematic figure in the earlier
page.

employee in the organization and it serves as guide for supporting new organizational pursuits or in
altering the organization's strategic direction. The details information is also collected regarding the
education, training, performance ratings, current position, salary and other needed information. Analyzing
this information the managers determine whether there is need for new employee or after providing some
training the present employees will achieve the new goals. Ineffective and improper manpower planning
can impact an organization negatively and can make loss in business and even can make business disaster
through over, under and inappropriate staffing of workers in the organization.

management and planning. Presumably the business organization aligned the employees with its strategy
and engaged the employees with the organization. Basically human resource planning is the process of
using organizations goals and strategy to forecast the organization's demand for supply of employee in
terms of finding, developing and keeping a qualified workforce for the improvement of the organizational
performance.
It was mentioned3 that the organizational performance is related with three major factors namely the
organizational motivation to achieve the performance, objectives of the organization, the influences and
impact of external environment and organizational capacity to achieve the desired performance. These
could be measured by the four ways namely relevance, effectiveness, efficiencies and financial viability.
Relevance could be measured by measuring the degree to which the organization's stakeholders think the
company in relevant to their needs. Client judgment of the relevance of products or services by buying
them, employees by working hard, stakeholders by buying and holding shares and so on. The
effectiveness could be measured by measuring the degree to which the organization is successful in
achieving its strategy, mission and vision. The efficiency could be measured by measuring how well the
organization has been using its resources like financial, human, physical information. The financial
viability could be measured by measuring how viable the organization is not only in short but also in the
long term.
The human are the most important resources of an organization because it is driving force of every
production process of the organization form input to output. In other words effective manpower planning
is one of the most important prerequisite of good performance of every business organization. The area of
manpower planning consists of goals of the organization, analyzing the current manpower resources,
human resource forecasts, implementation program, audit and adjustment. It needs to be mentioned that
the issues covering under these area of manpower planning usually does not impact the organizational
performance equally. However the issues related with the broader areas of the manpower planning is
presented in the following Table 1.1.

solving, policy-making, communications, operations, resource allocation and use, and performance
assessment in order to meet the demands placed upon it. Departmentation is the grouping of jobs
according to some logical arrangement. It is the manner in which activities should be divided and formed
into specialized groups in an organization. The crucial managerial consideration when creating
departments is to determine the basis of grouping jobs. Departmentation is done to achieve similar
advantages by different approaches.
Globalization has introduced tremendous impact on the ways in which human resources are managed and
the ways in which the human resource management (HR) function is positioned. Because HR practices do
not exist in a vacuum, understanding the context within which the role of HR in corporate decisionmaking is affected contributes to better management of people. Such understanding is even more
important as organizational borders are blurred by an increasing movement toward a more global
economy where management entails managing organizations and people in geographic contexts different
from ones own. This study examined the factors explaining HR involvement in strategic formulation and
its consequences using three perspectives: resource-based view of the firm, institutional theory and
political approach. The results showed that HR involvement in strategy formulation did not necessarily
translate into competitive advantage. However, if HR involvement in strategy formulation was an
important goal by itself, it is interesting to note that organizational age was not a deterrent to its adoption.
In addition, positioning HR so as to be involved in top-level decision-making also increased its level of
involvement in strategy formulation.7
On the other hand, as stated8 employees do not respond simply to financial incentives as other kinds of
non-financial incentives such as trust, duty, reputation within peer groups and communities etc. are
equally important. This could probably due to the fact that high powered incentives such as from market
transactions, and low powered incentives found in bureaucratic setting9, which could have contributed
to this result. In the same vain, incentives were not found to moderate the relationship between HR
practices and organizational behavior. This is most likely due to the fact that the willingness to perform
and achieve better organizational performance is influenced by conformity to collectivity-oriented
behavior, which is common in Asian countries. In addition, this finding is further supported by past
researchers affect-based trust behavior is associated with employees enterprising behavior; hence
incentives offered by the companies do not moderate the relationship between HR practices and their
level of performance in the companies.10
16
HRIS has been envisioned as having a substantial impact on the importance of human resource
departments, leading to a more strategic/managerial role and contributing to the organizations
competitiveness11, as well as creating new paths for HR to add value to the organization.12 However, HR
directors did not perceive that the HRIS had a positive impact on the role of the human resources
department in the organization, with only 30% and 40%, respectively, agreeing that the HR department
had become more important and had become more of a strategic partner in the institution. As early as the
mid 1990s the focus of HRIS had begun to shift because of its usefulness in strategic decision-making.13
Regarding the strategic impact, only 50% of the directors responded that the administrators thought the
HRIS helped them to meet strategic goals, and just 40% believed that it had improved the strategic
decision making of top administrators. Finally, only 20% felt that it had aided in the promotion of the
institutions competitive advantage.
HR departments play a critical role, for they are the one who will handle diversified employees. From the
recruitment and selection and from the pool of candidates, the employees are shaped according to the
positions they are qualified in entering into.14 HR functions might be different from each other as well as
the strategies applied by the organizations to improve the performance of the employees. Basically, the
staffing strongly affects the type of the employee and the nature of the company. And in terms of
applying the internal control over the manpower, the organization is in favor of the employees who can
give benefits and can function well according to their job description.15 The operation in
telecommunications companies is composed of various elements that contribute in their current monetary
and non-monetary data. To satisfy the shareholders, the continuous change in the system and roles and
functions of individuals are created. For an instance, the improvement among the people can be realized
through the organizational changes and computerization of other activities that can assist the financial and
cost accounting system, administration, and over all control in the accounting department in
telecommunications organization.16 It is expected that the computerization or the application of the
information system provide the technical basis to develop sound managerial decisions. Therefore, the HR
has the responsibility in finding people who are capable enough to promote and withstand the changes
that may happen in the organization.
Therefore, if the above strategies were taken into account the business would be able to survive in a
dynamic environment by treating their employees as one of their assets, which needs a lot of attention.
Employees are the backbone of any business success17 and therefore, they need to be motivated and
maintained in organization at all cost to aid the organization to be globally competitive in terms of
providing quality products and services to the society. And in the long run the returns on investments on
17
the employees would be achieved. Management should encourage job redesign-task autonomy, task
significance and task identity, open book management; empowerment of employees, recruitment and
selection must be done scientifically with the objective of retaining employees. Managers should examine
the sources of employee turnover and recommend the best approach to fill the gap of the source, so that
they can be in a position to retain employees in their organization to enhance their competitiveness in the
this world of globalization. Managers must understand that employees in their organizations must be
treated as the most liquid assets of the organization, which would make the organization to withstand the
waves of globalization. This asset needs to be monitored with due care, otherwise their organizations
would cease to exist. Employees should be given challenging work and all managers should be hired on
the basis of know how by following laid down procedures of the organization and this would make
organization to have competent managers at all levels of management and hence good supervision.18
Management must compensate employees adequately. They should pay employees based on their
performance and in addition they should given employees incentives like individual bonus, lump sum
bonus, sharing of profits and other benefits. Hence, if these were put in place they would minimize
employee turnover.
Performance appraisal19 is a most valuable human resource tool. It is a vital component for the
development of company as well as for individual employee. The system of performance appraisal
motivates the sincere employees and in certain cases it punishes the dishonest employees. This is
benefited to employees as well as for the organization. Productivity increases if there is a fair
performance appraisal system implemented in the organization. Performance appraisal plays critical role
in organizations ability to achieve its strategic goals. Organization and the HR department has to design
and implement Performance appraisal system in an organization is a core managerial function. The
challenges faced by the present days organization is absolutely depending on the effectiveness of its
performance management system which ultimately acts as a catalyst for Employees effective
performance. The true goal of performance appraisal is employees development & organizational
improvement. Ultimately competitive asset of any organization is its human resources, thus organization
should develop employee competencies, which should be aligned with the organizations business goals.
This can be achieved through performance management system, which also acts as behavioral change
tool, and it can also enable performance management system, which can improve overall organizations
performance.
Organizations vary significantly in their cultures and management styles.20 Some are more progressive
than others particularly when it comes to dealing with stress. A more positive culture will be concerned
18
with the safety, health and welfare of its employees, viewing this area as an important feature of
maintaining good employer-employee relationships, resulting in high levels of performance and
productivity by employees.21 It is important to recognize is that organizational cultures which cannot be
changed according to plan, or through the demands of senior management, or by intervention by the
enforcement authorities. For cultural change to be successful, managers need to consider at the outset
namely the potentially stressful effects on the workforce of enforced change, the need for on-going
consultation at the various stages of the change process, the provision of information, instruction and
training prior to commencing the process, the speed at which the intended changes are scheduled to take
place, methods for assessing how well or how badly individual employees are coping with the changes,
the provision of continuing help, assistance and coaching, together with the regular monitoring of people
who are finding the changes difficult to comprehend and put into practice and the provision of regular
feedback to employees on the success or otherwise of the changes being introduced. Changing culture
requires a methodological support adapted to the organizational specific. Unfortunately, there is no
rigorous methodology whose effectiveness is demonstrated with convincing arguments based on the
obtained performances. Thats the reason why Romanian managers need to have some special
communication skills, a high level of adaptability and the capacity of influencing employees behavior.
The results offered some support for all our propositions: Corporate venture units22 develop
organizational profiles that are to some extent aligned with their strategic objectives; greater internal
alignment around particular organizational profiles is associated with higher cross-sectional performance;
and exploitation-oriented venture units tend to survive for longer than exploration-oriented units.
However, we should also be clear that the significance of the findings was fairly modest. Hypothesis 1
was supported, indicating that the configurations we theorized are found in practice, but the proportion of
venture units whose organizational profiles matched their strategic profiles was only 40%. And in terms
of Hypothesis 2, while fit with the organizational profiles of the four ideal types was associated with
improved cross-sectional performance, the level of fit with the strategic profiles of the ideal types showed
no sign of being important. It is worth exploring the reasons for these modest findings before broadening
our discussion to consider the implications of our research for configuration theory and for strategic
management.
This study tests two sets of hypotheses23 that propose a positive association between organizational
performance and (1) the use of reward and incentive compensation practices; and (2) the effective use of
reward and incentive compensation practices. The results of the statistical analysis show that, in the
context of the Taiwanese semiconductor design industry, the use of a profit-related payment scheme is
19
positively and significantly related to organizational performance; and that the effective use of reward and
incentive compensation is positively related to financial performance. The results of the study indicate
that companies using a profit related payment scheme are more likely to perform better in terms of both
financial and non-financial performance than companies that do not use such a scheme; and, that
companies which are effective in the use of reward and incentive compensation perform better than other
companies. The research findings support the commonly held notion that the effective use of reward
practices has the potential to increase organizational performance; thus, it is recommended that managers
should give special attention to how best to employ such practices to attract and retain talented
individuals; and how to effectively incorporate performance-based payment into their reward system to
strengthen the ties between pay and employees performance. Nevertheless, some scholars suggest that
performance-linked compensation practices have their drawbacks. The findings of extensive experimental
research24 on the association between rewards and motivation show that monetary rewards do not always
increase peoples motivation to perform.
Workforce planning has been becoming a new big factor on the human resource agenda. As organizations
have been facing increasing competition, an ageing workforce and a fluctuating economy, they are
beginning to see the need to plan to avoid getting left behind. The review of the literature illustrated that
departmentation and human resource plans, involvement of human resource in decision-making, level of
human resource practice, human resource Information system, policies and practices, employee turnover
and workforce gap, performance appraisal system and its level of practice, technological change and
readiness, organization business strategies, compensation package has a larger impact on the
organizational performance. Manpower planning is not a stand-alone event, which organizations should
conduct once a year using a fixed template for all units. Rather it should be an ongoing process, which
reacts to both internal and external changes and is sensitive to the different needs of units. It cannot, and
should not aim to predict the future. Rather it should set the context for other plans and challenge the
assumptions of business which short-term thinking

Methodology
3.1 Methodology
Assuming that, manpower planning has no impact on the organizational performance in relation to the
sales and profit turnover. The independent variable considered were mainly factors of manpower planning
namely employee turnover, human resource policies, technological change, performance appraisal and
level of practice, compensation, human resource information system, HR in decision making, employee
gap, departmentation and HR plans and the dependent variables considered were sales and profit turnover.
The method of the study was questionnaire survey and information collection from different secondary
documents of the pharmaceutical companies. A questionnaire was developed for collecting information
from the respondents (HR professionals) of different pharmaceutical firms and secondary documents like
annual report, other relevant documents and Internet.
3.1.1 Analysis
A regression analysis was conducted to study the influence of the independent variable over the
dependent variable in a variable degree. Three models of regression analysis was conducted namely
21
linear, quadratic and logistic and pattern of relation was determined and analysis was done by statistical

In recent years it is also observed that the capacities and impacts of the diseases has been increasing to
make a significant deterioration of the health and consequently the drugs and services for those diseases
needs to be improved. High tech technologies are warranted to improve the quality of the drugs for
combating the diseases. In the background, it is the human resources who develop and upgrade any
services or product with respect to time to meet the need and demand and to address the problem of the
society. Therefore, from the economical point of view the manpower need to be developed and upgraded
properly to with respect to time through proper planning to improve the organizational performance,
which is very important for every economy to success.
