Orientation: Given the critical shortage of skilled artisans and engineers in the job market, retention of this key talent is of paramount importance.Research purpose: The aim of this study was to identify the determinants of affective commitment and investigate the impact thereof on intention to quit (ITQ) amongst artisans and engineers.Motivation for the study: For human resource management interventions to be effective in retaining artisans and engineers, the constructs underlying commitment and stay intentions need to be understood. Whereas previous studies have mostly focussed on bivariate relationships, the current study was motivated by the need to develop and test an integrative explanatory model.Research approach/design and method: A non-probability convenience sample of 154 artisans and 84 engineers employed in a manufacturing engineering company participated in this study. A cross-sectional design was employed, with structural equation modelling as analysis technique.Main findings: The data supported the central role of affective commitment in reducing ITQ amongst artisans and engineers. Job fit, psychological meaningfulness, perceived organisational support and satisfaction with pay all explained significant variance in affective commitment, whilst affective commitment demonstrated a strong negative relationship with ITQ. It was found that although perceived organisational justice does not necessarily create affective commitment, people are more likely to quit when they experience injustice.Practical/managerial implications: For organisations to retain artisans and engineers, they have to foster both affective commitment and organisational justice. Affective commitment can be facilitated by interventions focusing on job fit, meaningful work, organisational support and satisfaction with pay.Contribution/value-add: This study provides practical insights into the antecedents of ITQ amongst artisans and engineers, informing human resource management interventions aimed at better retention.

ABSTRACT In this study, we explore the role of organizational virtuousness (OV) as a mechanism through which human resource management practices (HRMPs) affect employee outcomes. We propose that HRMPs lead to higher levels of organizational citizenship behaviors and affective commitment by stimulating OV. Using a sample of 525 workers, from 22 stores of a retailing company, we found evidence that HRMPs predict OV, thereby predicting members’ citizenship behaviors and affective commitment. By suggesting this new mediator, this study contributes to a better understanding of the causal chain linking HRMPs and performance.

Green Human Resource Management

Exploring management fields in terms of green policies is essential to create a footprint on today’s global corporate world; it is very important for all staff, employers, stakeholders, and other customers. This work attempts to study the relationship between the management of green human resources and the actions of organisational citizenship with the mediating role of affective commitment. The analysis relied on the emerging theory of abilitymotivation-opportunity (AMO) to use all the green human resource management (GHRM) attributes. Well renowned secondary school of Kathmandu Valley staff participated in the data collection. Three hundred and fifty fully-filled questionnaires were returned through a self-structured sampling tool. Staff having academic qualifications of at least graduate degrees were preferred for better understanding and effective data quality. A widely used PLS-SEM method was applied to analyse small sample-sized studies and ensures the normal distribution of data. The research highlights the GHRM method and its effect on the engagement of workers to their actions in the organisation. In addition, concerning GHRM and organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB), affective commitment (AC) has formed a mediating role. Only secondary schools are included in the study; the outcome is a fruitful review of the effects of GHRM implementation in the education sector. Numerous studies have reconnoitered various variables to link the GHRM with the organisational studies. The complementary partial mediation effect of AC to OCB is an attempt of showing novelty in the field of education sector in the study. The study suggests a globalised study regarding GHRM for future endeavours.

Resilient Behavior

The primary objective of this research is to investigate the role of strategic human resource management practices in developing resilient organizational behavior. This research aims to test the mediating function of individual resilient behavior between strategic human resources management practices and resilient organizational behavior. Data was collected from 780 managerial level employees working in small and medium Chinese enterprises in Hubei Province through a self-administrated questionnaire. The Smart partial least square structural equation modeling technique was used for data analysis. The analysis showed a significant positive relationship among SHRM practices, employee resilient behavior, and resilient organizational behavior. Results also show that employee resilient behavior partially mediates the relationship between SHRM practices and resilient organizational behavior. Individual resilient behavior is needed when an organization is in crisis, restructuring, transformation, turbulent, and unfavorable conditions. Without individual resilient behavior, it is difficult for an organization to be resilient. Therefore, strategic human resource management practices are essential to develop an employee’s resilience. This research contributed to the body of knowledge by bringing new concepts together. The main contribution was testing the role of individual resilient behavior between strategic human resource management practices and resilient organizational behavior.
