Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings This research paper concentrates on how human resource management practices (HRMPs) impact employee well-being (EWB), and how integrity leadership and organizational justice shape this relationship. The three HRMP dimensions – ability-enhancing, motivation-enhancing, and opportunity-enhancing HR practices – all positively impacted the trio of EWB dimensions, namely job well-being, psychological well-being, and life well-being. Organizational justice proved to enhance the ability of HRMPs to boost EWB, and integrity leadership was an EWB catalyst in all of these interrelationships. HR teams are therefore advised to invest clear and genuine efforts into boosting the integrity of leaders, for example through rigorous recruitment screening.

Findings – Douglas Conant once remarked that companies must first win in the workplace to succeed in the marketplace. With this quote, the former CEO of Campbell’s Soup was pointing out the importance of employee engagement. Statistics back up his claim. Workers who are disaffected negatively impact the financial well-being of an organization. This cost has been measured in hundreds of billions of dollars each year. The picture is radically different where engaged employees are concerned. Such individuals are invested in their work and readily buy into the firm’s values and objectives. Employee engagement typically generates an increase in performance levels and output. Satisfaction levels are high, and they are considerably less likely to leave the company than other workers.
