Abstract : The study investigates the effect of employee resourcing on the organizational performance of the Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA). The research focuses on key aspects of employee resourcing, including human resource planning, recruitment, selection, and employee empowerment and development. Data were collected from 173 respondents within the LRA through a structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analyses were employed to analyze the data. The findings reveal significant positive correlations between human resource planning and organizational performance (r = 0.964, p < 0.001), recruitment and organizational performance (r = 0.897, p < 0.001), selection and organizational performance (r = 0.855, p < 0.001), and employee empowerment and organizational performance (r = 0.829, p < 0.001). Regression analysis indicates that human resource planning (β = 0.783, p < 0.001) and employee selection (β = 0.407, p < 0.001) have a significant positive impact on organizational performance, while employee empowerment shows a negative relationship (β = -0.646, p < 0.001). Furthermore, the model explains 80.2% of the variance in organizational performance (R2 = 0.802). The study also highlights the importance of optimizing recruitment practices and regularly evaluating HR strategies. Based on these findings, the study recommends enhancing human resource planning, strengthening selection processes, optimizing recruitment, reevaluating empowerment practices, and implementing regular monitoring and evaluation to improve LRA’s human resource management and organizational performance.
