Abstract

Dhofar Municipality adopted an initiative to transform the work effectively. Dhofar Municipality needs more efficient ways to raise the standard of administrative and financial services, which requires less resistance to manage its administrative and financial services, which requires less resistance to change. This study aims to investigate the role of human resource management practices on change management practices. This study defined three human resource management practices that include employee participation, performance evaluation, and training. This study collected data from 381 employees based on a cross-sectional time horizon. In this study, structural equation modeling is used to test the hypotheses that have been developed. The finding revealed a significant and positive association between human resource management practices and change management practices. This study provides evidence of the role of human resource management practices on change management practices
