The Impact of Saudi Culture on Recruitment and Selection Practices in the Privet Sector in Saudi Arabia By Rajeh T. Albugamy Submitted to BBS Doctoral Symposium Brunel University 4th & 5th March, 2010 -2- Abstract The ultimate goal of recruitment and selection is to hire or get the right people for the right positions, i.e. qualifications; skills and merit are the criteria that should determine who would occupy the job rather than nepotism, favouritism or any other cultural elements (Alghailani, 2005). In Saudi Arabia like the other Arab countries , wasta for example, an Arabic term which means using connections for personal gains, is deeply rooted in the culture and having a big influence on people’s life and business among that obtaining a job depending on the strength of wasta (Hutchings and Weir, 2006). Employees in Saudi Arabia with strong family and tribal connections are often got promoted to higher positions (Mellahi, 2006). According to Al-Awaji (1971), the Saudi social-value system is based on three major subsystems: (1) Religion which is Islam for all Saudis, (2) Family and kinship, (3) Traditions. This research aims to explore the impact of the Saudi cultural factors on the recruitment and selection practices in the privet sector in Saudi Arabia...

At the same time, recruitment and selection also have an image problem. First, recruitment and selection are often viewed as ‘old’ ingrained HRM domains. It seems like the traditional recruitment and selection procedures have been around for decades, which is at odds with the ever changing internal and external environment of organizations. Hence, practitioners often wonder whether there are any new research-based ways for recruiting and selecting personnel. Another image problem for recruitment and selection is that a false dichotomy is often created between so-called macro HR (examining HR systems more broadly) and micro HR (examining individual differences). It is further sometimes argued that organizations should value macro approaches and write off micro approaches as not being relevant to the business world. We posit that these image problems and debates only serve to distract and fracture the field and hide the fact that excellent HR research and practice needs to take both macro and micro issues into consideration. For example, creating an effective recruiting strategy (some would describe this as a macro process) requires considerable...

Bauer et al., 2004). Since the motor vehicle industry in Bangladesh is faced with these three challenges, recruitment and selection comprises an important human resource practice in this industry.
