Attention has been given to the questions addressing Pakistan-based HRM research, one is whether the
established relationship between human resources practices and job performance would work and whether
the alignment between human resource management and organizational strategy will affect organizational
performance in the emerging economy of Pakistan? Three out of 18 studies explicitly referred to the
significance of job analysis, two articles referred to the job design, one job evaluation, one job security, four job
performance, two job satisfaction and five on turnover as their major theoretical background.
