Human resource management is an emerging field of study in Pakistan. The purpose of this study is
to identify the best human resource practices in the context of Job performance and offer recommendations for
future research. This study reviewed many published articles in the major academic journals, focusing on the
most important human resource practices, the relations between human resource practices and job
performance. This study finds that Pakistan-based research on the human resource practices has been actively
discussed in the major theoretical debates in the literature, and that Pakistan-based studies have extended
previous models by identifying additional intervening variables. A hypothesized model on the basis of
extensive review of the literature has been developed. It is recommend that future research in this area be
more responsive to emerging methodological concerns of the field, and pay more attention to Pakistan-specific
issues that may have significant organizational consequences
