Role Of Human Resource Management In Developing Entrepreneurial Mind-Set Among Employees Of Adamawa State University, Mubi, Nigeria

Abstract

This study explores the role of Human Resource Management (HRM) in developing entrepreneurial mind-sets among the employees of Adamawa State University, Mubi, Nigeria. Given the growing need for innovation and adaptability in Public Administration, fostering an entrepreneurial mind-set in civil servants is crucial for improving public sector efficiency and service delivery. The research examines the influence of Human Resource practices, including training and shaping public servants’ mind-set towards entrepreneurship. Through a mixedmethods approach, data will be collected from the staff of Adamawa State University, Mubi, Adamawa State, Nigeria. Quantitative data will be gathered through surveys, while qualitative data will be drawn from interviews with some management staff of the university. The study aims to identify the challenges that hinder the development of entrepreneurial thinking within the public service and to propose Human Resource interventions that can nurture innovation. The findings are expected to contribute to both theoretical and practical knowledge, offering strategies for public sector reforms that promote entrepreneurial behaviour among government employees.
