Hypermarket retailing spend millions every year in recruiting, training, compensating,
encouraging and inspiring their employees to perform well in order to increase the level of
profits of the company. This is because the success of an organization largely depends on
performance of employees. Thus, this study was conducted to examine the influence of
Human Resource Management (HRM) practices towards employee performance. A
questionnaire was developed and a pilot test was done to test the normality, reliability and
validity of the scale. The independent variables to measure Human Resource Management
(HRM) practices include training, career development, rewards and employees’ involvement.
The dependent variable used in this study is employee performance. The collected data was
analysed using descriptive means and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation via SPSS

Thus, the future studies may compare different Human Resource Management (HRM)
