Abstract

Software development companies are noted for their innovative IT products. This is due to the focus on knowledge as a key driver for the innovations. Knowledge is a key element to all human resources. The purpose of this research is to investigate the factors influencing the effectiveness of HRM practices designed to improve knowledge transfer within software companies. A theoretical model was developed and empirically tested to test the hypothesis. Software companies were chosen in Sri Lanka with their professionals acting as respondents to survey. A sample includes 203 employees of Sri Lankan software companies. The results show that the order of importance of the HRM practices tested here is selection and recruitment, training and development, performance appraisal, and reward and compensation. The results also indicate that selection and recruitment, training and development, performance appraisal, and reward and compensation showed a positive impact with knowledge transfer improvement, as perceived by the professionals in the Sri Lankan software industry.
