Beyond extraction: navigating HRM challenges in mining organisations

This study aims to unveil human resource managerial practices within mining organisations and investigate the prevalent human resource factors that influence the industry. This study is a culmination of both desk research and expert guidance. Initially, we examined the mining industry from an HRM perspective by conducting on-site visits, engaging with industry experts, and personally immersing ourselves in the field. We meticulously collected and analysed relevant literature to identify prevalent HRM factors and their elements in mining organisations. After that, we further categorised these factors through consultations with four field experts, making a final arrangement. Six prominent categories of HRM factors are identified in this study. This study will pave the way for further research, uncovering the connections between these factors and their impacts on organisations. The study prominently highlights the social aspects, prompting the organisation to allocate adequate attention to these aspects to ensure the sustainability of mining operations.
