This study examines the relationship between work satisfaction and human resources (HR) results, as well as the impact of human resource management (HRM) practices (career planning, job security, technical training, decentralised decision-making and internal promotion) on business success. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and hierarchical regression analysis are used on a sample of 250 workers in Rajasthan, India’s textile sector. The study’s results indicate that company performance and the recently developed construct of HRM practices are positively correlated. Moreover, the relationship between HRM practices and company performance is somewhat mediated by HR outcomes and job satisfaction. The study highlights how crucial employee satisfaction is to improving organisational results. The study has substantially contributed to our comprehension of HRM procedures in the Indian textile sector. Companies should monitor and raise employee job satisfaction levels and put appropriate HRM practices in place.
