Abstract:

More and more researches have been directed towards determining positive effects of human resource practices on behaviors’ outcomes and firm performance and less attention has been paid to the perceptions of employees about the importance of the HR management practices on their outcomes as well as career development. But now-a-days scholars are exploring much on the employees’ perceptions of HR practices and have contributed and addressed the questions of whether and how employees’ collective perception of their human resource practices impact employee performance in an organization. To gain more clarity on this particular area, we tried to explore the concept of “employee perceptions of HR practices” used by researchers. After reviewing available literature on it, it has been found that employee perception of HR practices is a very dynamic idea. Instead, in line with previous researches, we separate out three parts of employee perceptions of HR practices: ‘what’, ‘how’, ‘why’. In a critical manner, we had reviewed the available literature on all the three parts of employee HR perception and provided suggestions, recommendations and directions for future research to achieve a deeper insight into employee perceptions of HR practices.
