- ItemStrategic change and employee performance: the mediating role of human capital A case study of Anglogold Ashanti – Obuasi Gold Mine.(August 2016) Broni, EricThe research aimed at providing a model for determining the mediating role of human capital in the link between strategic change and employee performance of AngloGold Ashanti, Obuasi Gold Mine. The study proposed and examined human capital as a major missing mechanism of strategic change to effect employee performance of the company under study. Mostly the intent of the strategic change projects of the company under study to create a new company culture and employee performance were not fully actualised. This is because the needed skills, knowledge and experience of the change agents, project team and employees were low. Using a sample of AngloGold Ashanti Ltd – Obuasi Gold Mine, empirical evidence was obtained which supports the view that this mediating effect is present. At the time of study, the total employee of the Obuasi Gold Mine was 201 and this was used as the population for the research. Out of this population of 201, sample size of 153 was used. Data was collected from different functional groups of the organisation of study. The research is quantitative in nature and survey method was used by utilising self-administered questionnaire. Ordinary Least Square Regression Analysis was used for the analysis. Among other tests, Sobel test was used to test mediation. The study indicated that there is a full mediation of human capital on strategic change and employee performance. The findings buttressed the fact that the strategic change and human capital have positive impact on employee performance. The results of the study present managerial strategies which can be used in organisational change to improve performance. The study will empower the organisations to know the right decisions to roll out before they begin improvement projects such as change. The research also adds to the growing literature on strategic change and human capital.
