A Review on the Impact of Human Resource Management Practices on Organizations' and Employees' Performance
Abstract
Job performance is one of the most crucial factors which scholars have thoroughly addressed and debated to evaluate employee efficiency. The concept of human resource management (HRM) is a vital influencing factor in enhancing job performance and achieving efficient employee performance. This study aims to investigate how human resource management practices (HRMP) affect organizations' and employees' performance by reviewing the previous studies using the systematic literature review (SLR). The NVivo software was used to analyze the outcomes and findings of the literature review, discussion, and analysis. These studies addressed the relationship between HRMP and employees' performance. They evaluated the most influential variables on job performance. The findings of the reviewed studies showed that Human Resource Management Practices (HRMPs) significantly influence the performance of employees in an organization. Also, the application of HRMPs cannot be uniform worldwide. The extent to which HRMPs have been fully enforced or the emphasis on specific HRMPs differs based on the framework in which businesses or organizations usually function. In summary, most previous studies stated a significant impact of HRMP on job performance despite the debated relationship between HRMP and organizational and employee performance. Further studies on HRMPs across different societies and origins are vital.
Keywords: human resource management practices, job performance, employee efficiency, employee motivation.
