A quite number of factors have been studied as the factors influencing employee performance in organization. Some of these factors include, employee commitment, personality, emotional intelligence, job satisfaction, organizational citizenship behavior among others. While some studies considered investigating the influence of human resource management practices (HRM practices) on employee performance in different context such as America, Asia and European context with very little in sub-Saharan African countries like Nigeria. However, some of these studies used specific practice while others used groups. Despite these studies, however, studies attempted to investigate the impact of HRM practices and employee performance has reported mixed findings; therefore, an interacting variable is suggested. This paper proposes employee engagement as potential moderator to enhance the relationship between HRM practices and employee performance. Five hypotheses were theoretically developed base on the reviewed literature, to be achieved if the model empirically validated.
