Human resource management (HRM) has been increasingly taken into consideration by business studies and organizational management approaches because it is closely related to performance daily and organizational practices (Kalleberg & Moody, 1994) . Human resource practices are suggested to have an influence on improving organizational performance in most organizations. Fundamentally, organizational performance refers to employee performance and daily work outcomes that reflect an organization's ability to achieve its goals and objectives, such as employee performance, productivity, employee job satisfaction, financial results (Huselid, 1995). In my opinion, HR practices can make a positive contribution to organizational performance, because except for unpredictable external environments, human resource management can improve most of the factors influencing employee performance which ultimately influence organizational performance in prospects long term. This essay aims to demonstrate that HR practices can have a positive effect on organizational performance based on literature discussion and empirical evidence. The next section briefly reports some negative opinions on the limitations of human resource management related to improving organizational performance. The third section discusses the positive relationship between HR practices and organizational performance established by applying human resource management processes of hiring, selecting, placing employees, and building employment relationships within organizations. The final section will analyze an example of a Mark & Spensers company that has successfully used HR practices to improve its organizational performance and create competitive advantages.
