The purpose of this paper is to study the relationship among the HRM Practices, and Organizational Performance in the Hospitals. Some people treat HRM as the entire field of people management without specific favorable approach. On the contrary, others focus on the hard dimension, likely to apply a utility approach to the management of human resource such as through utilization of a highly committed and capable workforce in order to maximize the output of individual and organization. For this study, a sample of 250 paramedical staff was drawn from the population of 600 paramedical staff using a structured questionnaire from four leading Hospitals in NCR region. The results of Partial Least Square Path Modeling have shown that out of five HRM practices, two practices viz., Recruitment and Selection, Training and Development are found to be significant predictors of organization performance. Organizations have increasingly recognized the potential for their people to be a source of competitive advantage. HRM practices has the ability to create organizations that are more intelligent, flexible and competent than their rivals through the application of policies and practices that concentrate on recruiting, selecting, training skilled employees and directing their best efforts to cooperate within the resource bundle of the organization.
