Abstract

Strategic human resource management concept gives attention on the study of mechanism linking between human resource management systems and employee performance or corporate performance. Thus, the purposes of this study were set         1) to study the influence of the perception of human resource management systems on the employee performance in Thailand’s state enterprises and 2) to test the mechanism linking in the relationship between the perception of human resource management systems and employee performance in Thailand’s state enterprises. The results in the study showed that the perception of human resource management systems have positive influence on the employee performance in Thailand’s state enterprises. Moreover, it was found that job satisfaction, organizational commitment, job effort and human capital are variables that link the relationship between the perception of human resource management systems and the employee performance in Thailand’s state enterprises, too.
