Resumen

La literatura señala el importante papel que los trabajadores juegan en los resultados de una empresa y que las prácticas de gestión de recursos humanos pueden tener un efecto positivo sobre el rendimiento organizativo. Aunque esta realidad se ha estudiado ampliamente a nivel de empresa privada, lo cierto es que en el ámbito de la Administración Pública la investigación es más escasa, especialmente para corporaciones locales. Con el propósito de cubrir este hueco, este trabajo realiza un estudio de casos sobre nueve ayuntamientos de la Región de Murcia para analizar si una adecuada gestión de sus trabajadores influye en sus resultados a nivel organizativo, de trabajador y de prestación de servicios. La información obtenida aporta evidencia de que aquellos ayuntamientos que desarrollan prácticas de reclutamiento y selección, formación, evaluación del rendimiento y retribución teniendo en cuenta las necesidades de los puestos concretos a cubrir, el potencial de los empleados y su rendimiento, mejoran sus resultados.
