Nexus Between Human Resource Management Practices And Job Performance Of University Teachers: Organizational Commitment As A Mediator

Abstract

The objective of this research was to explore the mediating effect of OC (Org. Com.) between HR Practices and JP. For this purpose, Data were collected from faculty members of four private sector universities of KP: Abasyn Univrsity, Sarhad University, City University and Preston University through JP scale  (Goodman & Svyantek, 1999), HRM Practices scale Teseema & Soeters (2006)  and Org. Com. scale adapted from Meyer and Allen's (1991). The value of .545 with 0.01 level between “HR Practices and JP” shows a significant positive correlation between “HR Practices and JP”. Similarly the value of .187 with 0.01 level between “HR Practices and Org. Com.” shows a significant positive correlation between “HR Practices and Org. Com.”. The value of .223 with 0.01 level between Org. Com. and JP shows a significant positive correlation between Org. Com. and JP. Furthermore, structure equation modelling showed a partial mediation between “HR Practices and JP” through Org. Commitment.
