Purpose The authors wanted to look at the impact of both the overall HRM system and HRM sub-systems, in this case training, information, participation and autonomy. Design/methodology/approach The authors tested four hypotheses on thousands of employees from 104 Spanish SMEs. Previous studies of high-involvement HRM systems were done in large US firms Findings The results showed women are more likely than men to reciprocate employer offerings of supportive HRM. They are also more likely to withdraw their commitment when the work environment is unsupportive. However, the results showed that the moderating effect of gender on the relationship between autonomy and affective commitment was not significant Originality/value The authors said that few previous studies had tried to explain the different impacts on men and women of perceived HRM practices. Their study was also unusual in investigating the impact of both the overall HRM system and HRM sub-systems, in this case training, information, participation and autonomy.

The main aim of the study was to empirically investigate the mediating role of organizational commitment (OC) and person–organization fit (POF) between the causal relationship of supportive work environment (SWE) and employee retention (ER). One thousand questionnaires were sent to the targeted population included employees of all chains of multinational fast-food brands (restaurants) in Lahore, Pakistan. The restaurants were selected from clusters by using a cluster sampling technique. Questionnaires were comprised of multiple items adopted from former studies to obtain responses using quantitative methodology. For statistical analysis and to test the proposed hypothesis, the partial least squares (PLS) structural equation modeling (SEM) technique was employed through Smart PLS 2.0 M3 software. The study’s findings elucidated that SWE has a positive and significant association with ER. In addition, OC and POF acted as mediators between the relationship of a SWE and ER. This study presented implications for human resource (HR) practitioners that they should endure developing mechanisms for imparting a SWE to foster healthy exchange relationships with people, which in turn will result in ER. This article significantly contributed to the extant literature on the relationship of the SWE and ER while highlighting the critical factors to be noticed for retaining key employees. This study also explicated the limitations and scope for further research.
