Human Resource Management Practices, Employee Outcome and Performance of Coffee Research Foundation, Kenya

Abstract

Although studies have examined the influence of Human Resource Management (HRM) practices on performance, few have examined the influence of employee outcome in a developing country context. To address recent calls of research to address the role of employee outcome, this study examined the mediating role of employee outcome on the influence of HRM practices and performance. Data was collected from 84 employee of a government organization. Seventy eight (78) filled the questionnaire and retuned the questionnaire. Using multiple regression analysis the result showed that HRM Practices have a significant influence on organizational performance. Further, using stepwise regression analysis, the study established that employee outcome fully mediates the influence of HRM practices on organizational performance.
