ABSTRACT

Human resources are the most crucial asset for any higher education institution seeking a competitive advantage. Currently, managing human resources presents more challenges than managing capital or technology. To achieve effective management, higher education institutions need solid Human Resource Management (HRM) practices. The primary goal is to explore the impact of HRM practices, including Performance Appraisal, Training & Development, Compensation & Rewards, and Welfare Facilities, on employee performance. The study found that HRM practices, such as Performance Appraisal, Training & Development, Compensation & Rewards, and Welfare Facilities, significantly and positively influence employee performance in higher education institutions. The qualitative research technique was utilised for this study, employing secondary data such as journals, books, internet sources, and theses to gather information related to HRM practices and employee performance. This study provides suggestions and recommendations for higher education institutions to foster a refined working environment and promote the professional well-being of employees.
