The study also explored the mediating role of self-efficacy, public service motivation and career opportunity on the relationship between HRM practices and employee performance. In addition, employee performance was measured in terms of task performance, contextual performance and adaptive performance. Using cross sectional survey method, data was collected from 265 employees of local governments in North Western region of Nigeria.
