1.4.1 Literature Review
HRM practices are a process of engaging, motivating, and maintaining employees to ensure the organizational survival (Schuler and Jackson, 1987). According to (Delery and Doty, 1996) HRM practices are prepared and implemented in a way that human capital plays important role in achieving the goals and objectives of the organization. The appropriate use of HRM practices strongly influence the standard of employer and the degree of employee commitment (Purcell, 2003). HRM practices like, training and development, performance appraisal allow the employees to do better in order to enhance the organizational performance (Snell and Dean, 1992; Pfeffer, 1998).
Researchers have shaped compelling evidence for the fundamental relation between employee performance and how management acts with them (Boheene & Asuinura, 2011). They claim that the effectiveness of human resource practices, particularly employee selection, performance appraisals, benefits and reward management, procedures and employee training and development often have a direct effect on the productivity and performance of the employee. And implementing an effective human resource management can enhance the organization 's ability to attract and maintain qualified and motivated employees yield greater profitability, low employee turnover and these invariably lead to higher productivity.

One of the important organizational factors is human resource practices (J. B. Arthur, 1994) (M. A. Huselid, 1995). Various researchers agree that HR practices are to manage the pool of human resources and ensure that the resources are utilized for the fulfilment of organizational goals (R. S. Schuler and S.F. Jackson, 1987) (P. M. Wright and S. A. Snell, 1991). Form the literature, negative work outcomes such as absenteeism and turnover (usually good employees who quit their job voluntarily), it is also possible to link that HR practices could contribute to deviant behavior. In general, the more favorable the HR practices are in that organization, the more favorable the work outcomes will be.
Without a proper recruitment process companies are unable to seek out and hire applicants who are qualified for the position (Levy
1997; Delery and Shaw 2002; Guest 1997; Kessler and Purcell 1992). According to Guest (1997), various HR practices including performance management result in outcomes such as commitment, quality and flexibility, which lead to behaviour outcomes in the form of efforts/motivation, cooperation, involvement and organizational citizenship behaviours. The behaviour outcome of people of the organization contributes to the performance output which are directly associated with financial outcomes of profit and ROI. Similarly, model proposed by Becker et al. (1997) states that business and strategic initiatives lead to design of appropriate HRM system which leads to employee skill and employee motivation enhancement which results in productivity, creativity and discretionary efforts amongst the employees.
