Abstract
Managing human resources is crucial for ensuring organizational success. This paper aims to identify the impact of job analysis and human resource planning on staffing strategies in the United Arab Emirates. It also aimed to verify the mediating effect of human resource planning. A research model was developed based on the literature review and theoretical framework. A quantitative cross-sectional questionnaire was used to assess employee attitudes in banks in Abu Dhabi. Specifically, the required data were gathered from 309 banking employees in Abu Dhabi via convenience sampling over the period from February to April 2025. This study employed the structural equation modeling (SEM) approach, with AMOS as the chosen method of analysis. The findings indicate that staffing strategies are positively affected by both job analysis (β = 0.702, p < 0.05) and human resource planning (β = 0.143, p < 0.05). Furthermore, the results verified the mediating role of human resource planning between job analysis and staffing strategies (β = 0.143, p < 0.05). These findings demonstrate a direct, beneficial influence of job analysis and human resource planning on staff strategies and offer noteworthy implications for managers in the banking context.
