摘要：The fundamental thrust of this study is to examine the impact of three HR practices which are compensation practices, performance evaluation practices and promotion practices on perceived performance of psychiatry nurses in the mental hospitals in Ghana. Data was collected through a time tested questionnaire from 130 nurses from Ankaful and Accra Psychiatric hospitals in Ghana. Pearson correlation and multiple regression analyses were used to measure the impact of HR practices on the performance of nurses. The results of the correlation indicated a positive relationship between compensation practices and perceived employee performance at 0.05 level of significance. Again, the study revealed a positive correlation at 0.01 level of significance between performance evaluation practice, promotion practices, and employee perceived performance. Multiple regression analysis showed that 12% (R2=0.122) of the variance in perceived employees’ performance was accounted for by the three HR practices. The psychiatry section of the Ghana Health Service needs to pay special attention to these three HR practices in order to enhance the performance of nurses.
