In today's organizational management landscape, the strategic role of human resource (HR) practices in achieving organizational goals is critical. This literature review delves into the complex relationship between HR practices and organizational goal achievement. Drawing insights from a diverse body of literature on recruitment and selection, training and development, performance management, and employee engagement, this study sought to identify the strategic relationship between HR practices and organizational goal achievement in modern organizations. The study employs a literature-based review methodology to provide a comprehensive understanding of the strategic implications of HR practices in contemporary organizations by synthesizing insights from scholarly articles, books, and reports. The findings emphasize the importance of HR practices such as advanced recruitment technologies, inclusive cultures, and effective performance management systems in enabling organizational success. Additionally, developing leadership excellence, ethical considerations, and adaptability to changing economic and global conditions are critical in aligning HR practices with strategic objectives. Finally, this study emphasizes the multifaceted importance of HR practices in achieving organizational goals. By embracing innovative technologies, promoting inclusivity, and aligning HR strategies with organizational goals, modern organizations can position themselves for sustained excellence and resilience in today's dynamic business environment.
