Human resource management practices and employee performance: The mediating role of self efficacy

Police performance has paramount importance not only to prevent crime and maintain law and order but also to improve the quality of life in local communities. Nevertheless, generally, police performance in developing countries remains subnormal and not fully exploited. Therefore, this study was unde...
