Abstract: This study examines the role of Human Resource (HR) practices in enhancing job satisfaction among public sector employees in Telangana. Effective HR practices—including recruitment and selection, training and development, performance appraisal, compensation, and career development—are widely recognized as critical drivers of employee satisfaction and organizational performance. Using a sample of 200 employees from various public sector organizations in Telangana, data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and multiple regression analysis. The findings reveal that all five HR practices positively influence job satisfaction, with training and development, and compensation and rewards emerging as the most significant predictors. The study underscores the importance of context-specific HR interventions and provides actionable insights for policymakers and HR managers to enhance employee motivation, engagement, and satisfaction in the public sector. These results contribute to the growing body of literature on strategic HRM in India and highlight the relevance of tailored HR practices in regional organizational settings.
