THE INFLUENCE OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ON EMPLOYEE JOB SATISFACTION

Abstract

Employee job satisfaction is a cornerstone of organizational success, profoundly influenced by Human Resource Management (HRM) practices. Through a meticulous examination of existing literature, this study delves into the multifaceted impact of HRM practices on employee job satisfaction. It scrutinizes various dimensions of HRM, including recruitment and selection, training and development, performance appraisal, compensation and benefits, and work-life balance initiatives. Extensive empirical evidence underscores the pivotal role of these practices in shaping employee satisfaction levels. For instance, adept recruitment and selection procedures ensure job-role fit, fostering a sense of purpose and fulfillment among employees. Likewise, investment in training and development programs not only enhances employees' skill sets but also nurtures their sense of professional growth and accomplishment, thereby elevating job satisfaction. Furthermore, fair and transparent performance appraisal mechanisms, alongside equitable compensation and benefits schemes, cultivate an environment of trust and appreciation, amplifying overall job satisfaction.
