Keywords:
Human Resources Management, Employee Motivation, Performance Management, Training and Development, Compensation, Organizational BehaviorAbstract
The purpose of this literature review is to examine the relationship between Human Resources Management (HRM) practices and employee motivation, highlighting the role of strategic HRM in enhancing organizational performance. The methodology involves a literature review of peer-reviewed journal articles, books, and credible sources published between 2000 and 2023. The literature search was conducted using databases such as Google Scholar, JSTOR, and the Web of Science, with specific inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure relevance and quality. The results indicate that effective HRM practices, including recruitment and selection, training and development, performance management, compensation and benefits, and employee relations, significantly contribute to higher levels of employee motivation and satisfaction. The findings underscore the importance of integrating motivational strategies into HRM practices to create a supportive and engaging work environment. Conclusions drawn from the review suggest that organizations should adopt a holistic approach to HRM, continuously evaluate and improve their practices, and involve employees in HRM decisions to enhance motivation and performance. Recommendations for future research include exploring the long-term effects of HRM practices, comparative studies across industries and cultures, and the impact of technology on HRM and motivation. This review contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing a comprehensive synthesis of current research on HRM and motivation, offering valuable insights for both academics and practitioners.
