Abstract

Recent studies have shown the positive effect of some human resource practices on employees’ health and performance at work. In this context, it is necessary to determine the relationship between human resource management, employee performance, and wellbeing at work. The aim of this paper is to understand the factors that better describe and influence employee wellbeing, which also contributes to improving their performance at work, considering their multidimensional nature. The article reviews the literature on the relationship between the three concepts and points out the relevant role of wellbeing. As a result, this research shows that there is a gap in the literature, as no previous study has explored the relationship between human resource management, employee performance, and wellbeing at work within a uniform and coherent framework. This research explores wellbeing-oriented human resource management practices and also reviews supports the mediating role of wellbeing between HRM and organisational performance in this relationship.
