Human Resource Management, Employee Engagement and Employee Performance in Nigerian Public Sector: A Proposed Model

Abstract

Numerous factors have been considered as the factors influencing employee performance in organization. Some of these factors includes, organizational culture, job satisfaction, employee commitment, emotional intelligence, personality, organizational citizenship behavior among others. While some studies considered human resource management practices (HRM practices). However, some of these studies used individual practice while others used group practices. Despite these studies, however, studies attempted to consider the influence of HRM practices and employee performance have reported mixed findings; therefore, a moderating variable is suggested. This paper proposes employee engagement as potential moderator to stimulate the relationship between HRM practices and employee performance.
