The study employed both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The data were collected from 80 Vodacom employees through the use of interviews and questionnaires. Qualitative data were analyzed through content analysis while for quantitative data were analysed using SPSS by computing frequency, mean, standard deviation, Correlation and OLS Regression Analysis. Descriptive analysis revealed that Vodacom Company has several challenges that hamper the company from not achieving effective utilization of human resources. It was found that the company largely does not consider employees’ objectives in executing its works.
