This study examines the Effect of human resource planning on Organizational Effectiveness; the case of Addis Ababa Hosing Development Corporation. The research has three basic objectives which are expected to be fulfilled at the end of the research work. These objectives aimed to show the extent to which HRP practiced by the organization, to examine relationship between HRP and organizational effectiveness in the organization and to show the contribution of HRP towards Organizational Effectiveness. In order to fulfill these objectives, three research questions have been proposed which question to what extent the organization practice HRP and its six elements, if there Is any relationship between HRP and Organizational effectiveness in the organization and How the HRP contribute towards the effectiveness of the organization. Explanatory research method was applied to determine how and why HRP influence effectiveness of the organization. But as this method lacks statistical strength it supported by descriptive method to identify frequencies and to understand what is happening in the organization regarding Human resource planning and organizational effectiveness. Therefore observation, interviews and questioner method are applied in order to gather information. From this collected data, major findings and inferences are collected. From the findings it is possible to understand the extent to which HRP is practiced by the organization. On this matter HRP is expresses by the six elements which are Human inventory analysis, alignment of the HRP with organization objectives, timely assignment of employees, Overview of the supply market, placement system and career and succession planning system. Therefore the finding of the result shows the extent of practice of these elements in the organization, how this elements influence the organizational effectiveness of the organization and how the two variables, dependent and independent variables , are related to each other. On the finding the six elements of HRP have 55.47% up to 63.56% Extent of implementation level. on the other hand the correlation matrix result shows that these six elements have a correlation value of 0.316 up to 0.534.when it comes to the regression result all the six elements have a positive regression values. From these findings its concluded that the descriptive result of the six elements shows that there is a moderate extent of HRP practice in the organization and when it comes to the correlation finding it shows that HRP and OE are positively related to each other. But only two elements of HRP have strong positive relation with OE the rest of four elements have weak positive relation. The last one, which is the regression analysis values, shows that each coefficient of the six elements are positively contributed to organizational effectiveness. Once look through these conclusions, recommendations have been given to fill the gap that are seen in the results. The recommendation focus on the six elements of the HRP that considered as determinants in the research and how to fill the gap regarding the result of these elements.
