From the study, it was found that the independent variables such as training, recruitment, and reward and market share have a significant positive effect on performance of commercial banks at 1% level of significance. The result of the variance ratio (40.57) for the first hypothesis was greater than the tabulated value of F ratio (0000), this implies that recruitment practices have significant effects on employee performance. The result of the second hypothesis shows that the variance ratio (5.09) was greater than the tabulated value of F ratio (0.03 1), this implies that training have a significant effects on employees performance. The result of variance ratio (22.75) of the third hypothesis was greater than the tabulated value of F ratio (4.46), this implies that reward and motivation have significant effects on employee. The study therefore concludes that human resource management practices have significant effects on the performance of employees in the selected commercial banks. It is recommended that banks should develop and document those human resource management practices that are linked with the overall bank performance.
