Abstract
This study analyzes the effect of human resource management (HRM) strategy on employee performance in companies located in Medan City. A quantitative explanatory design was used. The research model positions HRM strategy—represented by recruitment and placement, training and development, performance appraisal, compensation, and employee involvement—as the independent variable and employee performance as the dependent variable. For manuscript-development purposes, the statistical results presented in this article use an illustrative dataset of 150 employees selected through proportional purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, simple linear regression, t-test, and coefficient of determination. The illustrative findings indicate that HRM strategy has a positive and significant effect on employee performance (β = 0.724; t = 12.65; p < 0.001), explaining 51.9% of performance variance. Training relevance, transparent appraisal, fair rewards, and employee involvement emerge as priority managerial levers. The study provides a practical framework for companies in Medan to align HR practices with operational targets. The illustrative statistics must be replaced with actual survey output before journal submission.
