Abstract
There is scant research on the relationship between human resource (HR) practices and employee performance in healthcare settings. This study examines the relationship between HR practices and perceived employee performance in the health sector of Pakistan. The HR practices discussed in this study are compensation, performance appraisal, employee relations, job security, promotion, employee participation and pension fund. Furthermore, satisfaction with HR practices is a moderating variable between employee performance and HR practices. Data are collected from 220 employees of autonomous medical institutions of Pakistan (Punjab) through questionnaires. Respondents include top, middle and lower level employees of the Institutions/Hospitals. The results indicate that performance of health sector employees is affected by the compensation, employee relations, job security, promotion, and pension. However, the employee participation and performance appraisal have no significant impact on the employee performance. The study also specifies that satisfaction with HR practices is a moderating variable between HR practices and perceived employee performance. Key words: Health sector, human resource (HR) practices, autonomous medical institution, perceived employee performance, Pakistan.
