There are a number of ways this can be accomplished, For example,

z[x_]:=If[x<0, x, x^2]

z[x_]:=x/; x<=0
z[x_]:=x^2/;x>0

z[x]:=(x^2 - x)UnitStep[x] + x

Here, I've used a single variable function to make things simple. But all of these can be extended to multi-variable functions by adding whatever criteria is needed for the additional variables
