In the meantime, the unique characteristics and characteristics of individuals who in state governments, in contrast to their counterparts in other sectors, lead to a distinction that can bring the way to its goals. In this research, by analyzing 581 questionnaires collected from public employees and using modeling based on analytical structures, it was determined that high performance of human resources has a positive and significant effect on the components of public sector staff as well as the effect of this activity on emotional commitment and behavior Citizenship of the staff is confirmed. In addition, the results show that the communication element among the other HRM activities has the greatest impact on the attitudinal and behavioral outcomes of employees.
