Abstract
Purpose/Aim In order to build principles in the organisational workforce and environment, strategic people management skills include articulating the selection of skills, expertise, competencies and personal qualities. This paper aims to explore how the implementation of strategic people management skills serves as a driver to sustainable competitive advantage in the competitive religious environment by utilizing the Christian Faith-Based Organisations in Nigeria. Research Methodology A conceptual approach based on the analysis of historical trends in the implementation of people management skills, especially among Christian Faith-based organisations in Nigeria, based on current literature. Key factors necessary for the satisfactory implementation of strategic people management skills were identified which include training and re-training, career development and motivational factors. Research Findings Findings from extant literature show that beyond the operational strategic purview of Nigerian Christian Faith- Based Organisations, other critical factors such as environmental influence create a significant link between people management skills and the level of compliance from affected parties. This also partly determines the amount of resource requirement to support the implementation of people management projects. In terms of the aspirations of Christian Faith-Based Organisational leaders in Nigeria, environmental variables play a key role. Conclusion and Recommendations Based on these findings, we recommend that leaders should endeavour to define directional policy that enhances people management skills and establish measurable goals to meet members of staff, members and followers’ expectations and to improve on organisational competitive advantage. Future research could be focused on empirical studies of Christian faith-based organisation in this direction. Keywords: Christian Faith-Based Organisations, Strategic People Management Skills, Sustainable Competitive Advantage.
