HRM practices create a vital role and practicing on daily basis in developing countries but it is still not encouraging in developing countries like Pakistan. One of objectives of this research is to understand the possible ways through feedback loops and stock and flow maps to improve employee’s performance. In this research key factors including recognition, performance appraisal and motivation are determined that can help employees to utilize their full potential at workplaces. For this purpose, System Dynamics approach was used to demonstrate the linkages between different HRM practices and how it affects the employee performance through Causal loops and Stock and Flows. The stock and flow result describe the rate of change between different variables and give help to create simulation graphs. Simulation results, describes linear and non-linear behavior and the employee attitude for the specific period. It is found that it is important to prepare the employees for better performance in organization. Employee learining also influences employee’s performance.This research is helpful for scholars, managers, employees and policy makers to understand the non linear behavior of employees’ performance appraisal.
