  • Abstract

    This study conducts a systematic literature review (SLR) to examine the relationship between Human Resource ‎Management (HRM) practices and organisational effectiveness (OE), intending to provide a comprehensive ‎synthesis of existing research. The review is based on studies retrieved from the Web of Science database and ‎follows the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) framework. A total of ‎‎45 studies were selected using well-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. In addition, a bibliometric analysis was ‎conducted to identify key publication trends, influential authors, prominent journals, and the intellectual structure ‎of the field. The findings reveal that HRM practices—such as recruitment and selection, training and development, and ‎career advancement—play a critical role in enhancing organisational effectiveness. The study identifies key factors ‎influencing HRM practices and highlights their direct and indirect impact on organisational outcomes. It further ‎emphasises the importance of adopting an integrated approach that combines effective HRM practices with ‎broader organisational and environmental strategies to improve long-term performance and sustainability. The ‎review also underscores the necessity of aligning HR policies with organisational goals, values, and competitive ‎strategies to maximise the potential of human capital. Finally, the study highlights the need for continuous research ‎to strengthen the understanding of HRM–OE linkages and to support the development of effective, evidence-based ‎HR practices‎.
