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.

Purpose: Studies time and again ascribe increased attrition in the nursing profession to poor organizational support and issues of work-life balance resulting in higher levels of job dissatisfaction among nurses. Considering this background, we conceptualized a model (POS-WLB-JS) anchored on organizational support theory and examined the mediating influence of work- life balance in the relationship of perceived organizational support and job satisfaction for female nurses in the Indian healthcare ecosystem. Methodology: Convenience sampling techniques were used to collect data from 250 female nurses from 40 hospitals in Mumbai. Hierarchical regression analysis techniques were used to test the hypotheses. In addition, Sobel test for indirect effects was used to assess the mediating influence of work -life balance in the conceptual model. Findings: Perceived organizational support, work- life balance, and job satisfaction have a significant and positive relationship among them. In addition, work- life balance mediates the relationship of perceived organizational support and job satisfaction for female nurses in the Indian nursing context. Practical Implications: The study will be beneficial to healthcare administrators, doctors, and practitioners who play a pivotal role in the delivery of healthcare services through nurses. It explores the process of job satisfaction through work-life balance and organizational support. Originality: The study makes a distinction between specific support for work- life measures and distal support that exists for nurses in hospitals. It was found that the latter as measured by the perceived organizational support scale has a significant and positive relationship with job satisfaction and work- life balance.
