THE LEVEL OF HUMAN RESOURCE SKILLS IN ADAM ABDULLAH OSMAN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT MOGADISHU; A CROSS SECTIONAL STUDY.

Abstract

Background:

This study aims to determine the level of Human resource skills in Adam Abdullah Osman International Airport Mogadishu.

Methodology: 

This study used a descriptive correlation study design. This study was carried out at Adam Abdullah Osman International Airport in Mogadishu.

The total sample size of the study was selected from the target population of 130 employees from Adam Abdullah Osman International Airport where the study selected 15 top managers, 40 middle managers, and 75 subordinates. The study will use a Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS Version, 17.0) as a tool for analyzing the data. Frequencies and percentages will be used to analyze the profile of respondents as seen appropriate.

Results:

Most respondents (77%) were male, while women were only 23%. This indicates that the males are the ones mostly employed in the selected public sectors in Mogadishu, Somalia. The level of Human resource skills in public sectors in Mogadishu Somalia is low indicating a space for improvement if they are to be perceived as satisfactory by the required standards in the public sectors. The results indicate that the management of human resources within the Public Service is a cornerstone for the overall success of implementing government priorities. 

Conclusion:

The capability of subordinates to perform the task depends on the human skills they have been rated low. While the rest of the items were rated very low;

Recommendations:

It is also suggested that organizations’ investment in human resources should not be focused on trying to forecast what employee skills they will need to accommodate future strategic, technological, and marketing changes. Rather, they should focus on having sufficient variety in their skills so that they have an increased chance of adapting to change that cannot be foreseen, hence new management to reform the system.
