This study aims to identify the impact of Human Resource Management (HRM) practices (Training and Development, Performance Appraisal, and Employee Involvement) on employee performance among the government servants at the State Office in Malaysia. 169 questionnaires were distributed, and 129 of them were valid and complete responses. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 23 was used in analyzing the data, and Pearson correlation and regression analysis were performed to determine the relationships between variables. The results from the correlational study indicated that all independent variables have a positive relationship with the dependent variable. While multiple regression analysis showed that only training and development and employee involvement were significant, the remaining performance appraisal variable was insignificant. Three independent variables substantially explain 36.5% of the variance for employee performance.
