Abstract:
This study examines the impact of modern human resource management (HRM) practices on employee performance in mining companies operating in the Blue Nile Region during 2025. The study aims to define modern HRM, its objectives and significance, and to analyze how HRM practices affect employee performance and its evaluation methods. The research problem focuses on understanding whether and how modern HRM practices contribute to improving employee performance. A descriptive-analytical methodology was used. The population included managers, deputy managers, department managers, and section heads. A random sample of 45 respondents was selected and data were collected by questionnaire; after screening, 35 valid responses remained for analysis. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS, and reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.84) confirmed the scale’s consistency. Results indicate that modern HRM practices — particularly training and development, performance appraisal, and participation in decision-making — have a positive and statistically significant effect on employee performance. The study recommends adopting modern HRM practices, investing in training and development programs, strengthening performance appraisal systems, and increasing employee participation in decision making to improve motivation and performance.
