Aim
General Purpose: General Purpose of my undertaking research is Human Resource Department of Sui Sothern Gas Company and to be good cognizant with the fact that how the Human Resource Department plays an of import function in SSGC. It serves as a anchor of the SSGC because it is the one which is responsible for recruitment procedure, choosing best employees for the company, giving them developing so that they should be productive along with supplying them with public presentation assessment program so that they should accomplish their mark consequently and concentrate on Company ‘s future ends, missions and aims. It has several maps ( discussed supra ) . Each map is performed by different subdivisions or sub-departments of Human Resource Department so that SSGC should work swimmingly. Such maps of HR Department are:
“ Organizational Development ”
“ Leave Management ”
“ Question and Discipline ”
“ Recruitment ”
“ Grudge Management ”
“ Contracts Management ”
“ Industrial Relations ”
“ Human Resource Information System ( HRIS ) ”
“ Performance Appraisal ”
“ Transportations and Posters ”
Specific Purpose: Specific Purpose of my undertaking research isFunctions of Human Resource Department and to concentrate merely on the maps of Human Resource Department and to see what these maps are used for.
Scope
The range of my survey will be limited to merely Human Resource Department and its maps at Sui Southern Gas Company. My survey research will non travel through any other section such as Marketing Department, Finance Department, Production Department, and Customer Service Department etc.
Hypothesis
Following are my hypothesis ( premises ) sing Sui Southern Gas Company:
1. All Human Resource Management work is managed automatically through Human Resource Information System.
2. All employees ( including labour ) are sent for preparations and workshops for their productiveness and promotion of cognition.
3. Increases and benefits are decently provided to every employee harmonizing to their work and behavior
Findingss
After my findings, I come up with the following replies sing my above mentioned 3 hypothesis:
1. All work is managed automatically via Human Resource Information System EXCEPT the attending of SSGC employees. There is a manual attending system in SSGC. So in my sentiment this attending should besides be based on mechanization computing machine system.
2. No educational preparation is provided to labour employees. So in my sentiment, labour employees should be sent for educational preparation and workshops because since they are illiterate, so educational preparation will non merely better their cognition and performance/productivity but besides their attitude towards their equals and employers.
3. In my hypothesis, all employees receive increases and benefits BUT this hypothesis is wholly incorrect. Increases and benefits are given on the footing of the senior status degree and largely to the senior employees in SSGC.
Justification
My research for subject is alone and will assist pupils of BBA to hold an advanced cognition sing Human Resource Management of Sui Southern Gas Company. Students will besides be able to cognize the maps of Human Resource Department and how these maps work for the improvement of SSGC. Furthermore, they will be cognizant of the policies and codification of behavior maintained by SSGC sing enlisting, leave direction, transportations & A ; posters, public presentation assessment, labour brotherhood and misconduct etc. So, this will give them an overall thought of Sui Southern Gas Company ( SSGC ) and even this will be good if they want to make their internship from SSGC in Human Resource Department because my research survey is all about Human Resource Department and maps performed by Human Resource Department.
Research Methodology
Observations: During my undertaking research at Sui Southern Gas Company ( SSGC ) , I observed legion undermentioned things:
Proper Industrial dealingss with Labor Union named as “ People ‘s Labor Association ” ( PLA ) of SSGC. Head ofPLA negotiates decently over “ charter of demands ” with the direction.
No misconduct behaviour or inappropriate attitude of labors/workers with their employees/ supervisors because of the rigorous policies and codifications of behavior against misconduct behaviour of an employee.
Proper manner of covering with ailments sing any issue under the subdivision of “ Grievance Management ” , headed by Mr. Waqaar Sheikh.
Proper record of an employee, who has been recruited, sent on training/workshop, transferred to other subdivision, dismissed or even employee on leave through Human Resource Information System ( HRIS ) . But the lone thing, which was manually tracked, was day-to-day employee attending.
Last, but non the least, I observed that there was no proper supplication room or pray country at all at SSGC Head Office Karachi. So in my sentiment, there should be separate supplication suites for ladies and gents so that they can decently execute their supplications.
Structured Interview: I have asked several inquiries from the Deputy General Manager ( HR ) , Mr. Shahbaz Islam and I thank to him for taking out his cherished clip to reply my inquiries.

Autonomic nervous systems: No! There are other methods that evaluate public presentation, such as ; sometimes, employees are delegated authorization to finish the undertaking on their ain and manage theirtime and premises accordingly.So this will non merely actuate them but besides make them measure their public presentation harmonizing to the completion of work on their ain. Another method is “ Bonus System ” , in which the more employees work for more than their on the job hours, the more wage they will have. So in this manner, employees perform more and measure that how much they worked excess to acquire fillip.
Q4: Why there is a manual attending system alternatively of holding all other work automated?
Autonomic nervous systems: We are working on it and it will shortly be converted to an automatic pollex sensing attending system where every employee will be asked to set his/her pollex on attending scanner and will be marked “ present at work ” if his/her pollex detected and matched. And even that information will be connected with Human Resource Information System ( HRIS ) . So in this manner, employees ‘ attending record will be maintained.

Autonomic nervous systems: We normally actuate our employees with some undermentioned 3 factors:
“ Individualistic policy ” : This policy means that allow employees make up one’s mind that how they should make their work and what resources they will use is wholly depends on employees.
