Abstract

Human resource is considered as a strategically essential factor in the effectiveness of organizations. A great number of scholars believe that consistency of organizations depends on participation. They believe, it is impossible for organizations to reach a proper level of effectiveness without participation. This research is intended to assess the mediating role of job participation in the relationship between human resource management and effectiveness. The research population included 211 employees of Allis Company in Mashhad from whom 140 employees were selected as sample according to Cochran’s formula. The data were collected for each one of variables using the questionnaire. Its validity was confirmed by content and face validity. To determine the reliability of questionnaire, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was used. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.89. It indicates high reliability of the questionnaire.  Using SPSS16 and AMOS22, the collected data were analyzed. The results proved the practices of human resources had relationship with job participation and job participation had relationship with organizational effectiveness. The practices of human resources indirectly affect effectiveness through the mediation of job participation.
