The effect of human capital management practices on employee positive behavioural outcomes

摘要

People management practices have moved from being purely administrative in nature to participative with personnel managers getting more involved in the strategic decisions. The way key skill areas of employees are leveraged is increasingly being recognised as critical to the strategic success and competitive advantage of an organisation. Enhancing Employee Positive Behavioural Outcomes (EPBO) is essential and the way employees are managed is central. Therefore, this paper focuses on analysing the impact of Human Capital Management Practices (HCMP) on employee job satisfaction and commitment. HCMP in this study comprise leadership practice, employee engagement, knowledge accessibility and learning capability, whilst EPBO indicators are job satisfaction and employee commitment. Based on a comprehensive literature review, eight propositions for the study are derived. Data will be collected from a sample of employees working in information technology firms through a structured questionnaire survey across the National Capital Region (NCR) of India.
