Abstract

Comprehensive analysis is to offer an extensive summary of the present condition of the research on the connection between organizational performance and HRM components. Using the PRISMA criteria as a guide, a comprehensive investigation of electronic database work was done to locate relevant publications published through the review date. To select empirical research that analyzed the effects of different Human Resource Management (HRM) components on the performance of organizations, inclusion criteria were developed. The quality of the chosen studies was evaluated severely and data were retrieved for synthesis. The results of a wide range of studies analyzing several facets of HRM, such as employee engagement, pay as well as benefits, performance evaluation, training and development, recruitment along with selection, have been gathered in this systematic review. The review evaluates the quality of evidence pertaining to the established correlations between HRM aspects and organizational performance, as well as the diverse approaches utilized in the literature. The review offers an advanced understanding of the intricate relationship that exists between HRM components and organizational performance. It points out gaps in the existing body of knowledge and makes recommendations for future study topics that provide useful takeaways for HR specialists and organizational executives looking to improve overall performance through strategic HRM approaches.
