Abstract

 

Human resource has various practices such as compensation, promotion and performance evaluation etc. This study is going to evaluate the impact of these three human resource practices on perceived employee performance. The data are collected through questionnaire from pharmaceutical companies located in Islamabad and Rawalpindi cities of Pakistan. To measure the impact of human resource practices on employee perceived performance, correlation and multiple regressions are used. The correlation result shows significant relationship between mentioned human practices and employee perceived performance. Multiple regressions present substantial variance in perceived employees' performance due to these human resource practices. Whereas, the individual results of regression analysis informs that compensation has premier role in explaining the employee perceived performance. It appears that the pharmaceutical companies may pay special attention to these three practices in order to ensure employees’ performance.
