A Systematic Literature Review on Employee Performance in Human Resource Management

Abstract

Employee performance is a critical factor in determining organizational success in the modern business environment. Human resource management (HRM) plays a significant role in enhancing employee performance through various strategic approaches. However, previous studies tend to examine determinants of employee performance in isolation, such as motivation, job satisfaction, leadership, and organizational commitment, resulting in fragmented findings. This study aims to systematically review the determinants of employee performance by integrating existing literature within HRM. The research adopts a systematic literature review (SLR) approach by analyzing articles published between 2015 and 2025 from academic databases such as Google Scholar and Scopus-indexed journals. The findings indicate that employee performance is influenced by multiple interrelated factors, including work motivation, job satisfaction, leadership style, work environment, and organizational commitment. The study emphasizes the importance of adopting an integrative perspective in understanding employee performance. This study contributes to the HRM literature by providing a comprehensive framework for understanding employee performance. It also offers practical implications for managers and a foundation for future empirical research in developing integrated performance models.
