Abstract: The study aims to analyse the impact of human resource management practices, job satisfaction, and organisational commitment on job performance of public servants. Data was collected by 350 public servants working at the Sub-Department of Fisheries in five provinces representing the coastal and island areas of Vietnam. The structural equation modelling (SEM) was applied to evaluate the impact of human resources management practices, job satisfaction, and organisational commitment on job performance. The findings revealed a positive impact of human resources management practices on organisational commitment, job satisfaction and job performance. In addition, organisational commitment has a positive impact on the job satisfaction of public servants. Besides, job satisfaction and organisational commitment are positively correlated with job performance. The findings of the study suggested several significant implications for the Sub-Department of Fisheries in five coastal provinces of Vietnam to increase organisational commitment, job satisfaction, and job performance of public servants.

Keywords: human resources management practices; job satisfaction; public servants; organisational commitment; job performance; Vietnam.
