The Relationship

Objective – Employees’ perception of HR practice is crucial because it can affect individual and organizational outcomes. HR practices may influence the perception employees have of the support that is available to them from the organization, the work-life balance, and the organization’s commitment to their employees. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of perceived HR practices on affective commitment. This study also explores the role of perceived organizational support in mediating work-life balance. Methodology/Technique – This survey was conducted between February – May 2019 using 178 employees ranked as officer (with no managerial position) from various organizations. The mediation analysis using SPSS and Macro Process was used to identify the relationship between the variables. Findings – The results indicate that employee perception of effective HR practice influences employee affective commitment. Further, perceived organizational support and work-life balance can mediate the relationship between those variables. However, the mediation only works if the mediator stands as a separate variable. When both mediators are put together, they do not mediate the relationship. Novelty – Studies concerning human resource (HR) practice and employee work behaviour remains scarce in Indonesia. The practical benefit from this study is to contribute to the knowledge of organizations concerning the implementation of effective HR practice in order to build a sense of supportive and balance in both work and private life. Additionally, both mediators may contribute to the development of affective commitment. Type of Paper: Empirical.

The Impact

Prior research has indicated that the nature of work has changed dramatically in recent years in response to economic shifts and an increasingly global economy. In part, this shift has resulted in a greater efficacy of various work-life balance and worker schedule flexibility elements in the experiences of employees in the workplace. However, little is known about the overall comparative quality of work and job satisfaction around the world in response to a shifting and increasingly interconnected global economy. In this study, we use non-panel longitudinal data from the most recent wave of the International Social Survey Program (Work Orientations IV, 2015) to conduct an exploratory comparative analysis of the impact of various workplace conditions, job characteristics, and employee attitudes in relation to comparative job satisfaction across the globe, with a special focus on the role of work-life balance and worker scheduling flexibility. Employees across the globe respond quite differently to work scenarios, which poses challenges for companies operating in multiple countries, requires adjustments to human resource practices to optimize performance levels of employees and reduce turnover expenses, and should caution managers to scrutinize their procedures to adjust to new demands in the workplace. This study adds value by making global comparisons of various workplace factors and their impact on job satisfaction using a database reflecting practices in 37 countries.
