HRM practices in Nigeria were examined from the perspective of non-managerial employees through a pilot study of four multinational oil companies. The study used qualitative interviews and snowball sampling to understand how practices around selection, recruitment, training, development, promotion, reward, and dismissal were being implemented. The results of the pilot study suggested local factors like nepotism, bribery, corruption, and political impacts influence HRM in Nigeria and may be causing HRM practices to diverge from standard models or cross-verge between convergence and divergence.
