This research was conducted at Morogoro Municipality. The study focused on the

sectors in Tanzania. The research objectives were: To determine HR practices in public
and private sector organizations. To assess performance of HR practices in Public and
Private sector organizations and to identify factors contributing to HR performance in
public and private sector organizations.
Both secondary and primary data collection methods were used in data collection. The
primary data collection methods were direct observation, Questionnaire Method and
interviews. A total of 70 respondents were selected from both public and private sector
organizations of which 20 were doctors (5 from each sector) and 50 normal workers.

terms of tables, figures and narrations to present the processed information.
The results of the findings revealed that, HR managers, doctors and normal workers in
Public Sector Organizations get shorter hours and earn more money than their private
sector counterparts; they are more qualified and more skilled. Though, those doctors and
nurses who have degree get paid better in the private sectors. In public sector workers get
employed somewhere within a pay band, and have annual increments up to the top, after
which your pay is capped this is contrary to private sector.

call for future improvements of issues related to performance of HR managers, doctors
and normal workers. Further, necessary steps have to be taken in order to provide
education for raising awareness through training and motivating workers and doctors.
