A quantitative study for the said purpose has been undertaken to ascertain the impact of EKS on the performance of human resources while taking into consideration the moderating role of HRT. The study approach undertaken for the research is quantitative in nature for which, structured questionnaire was developed based on the relevant studies already conducted in this field. The questionnaires were distributed among 500 respondents, out of which 345 responded, which provided the researcher with 69% response rate. Population of the study comprises wide range of organizations such as Government, Non-Government, International & Private Sector, which were consulted for the primary data collection across the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa & Capital Territory of Islamabad by adopting Simple Random Sampling technique. Analysis were drawn through the application of statistical software tools i.e. Amos for factor analysis & SPSS for statistical analysis. The analysis of the data depicted that HRT is playing significant positive influence in establishing relationship between EKS and efficiency in the performance of their human resources.
