In order to identify the same a total of 5 hypotheses were developed that are mentioned below. H0: Training and development given by HRM ensures employee satisfaction and employee performance; H1: Performance appraisal by HRM ensures employee satisfaction and employee performance; H2: Compensation and benefits by HRM ensures employee satisfaction and employee performance; H3: Work-life balance by HRM ensures employee satisfaction and employee performance; H4: Career planning by HRM ensures employee satisfaction and employee performance; H5: Positive and friendly workplace culture ensures employee satisfaction and employee performance. Every independent variable within these hypotheses is activities that are performed by the HRM department of an organization.
