Impact of Organizational Human Resource Practices on the Level of Employee Engagement- Mediating and Moderating Roles of Work-Life Balance and Perceived Organizational Support

Abstract

Organizational Human Resource (HR) practices are important for nurturing employee engagement prospects. The present research classifies those HR practices of the organization that are directly targeted at encouraging high-level employee engagement both at the individual and organizational levels.  The HR practices exercised explicitly to promote employee engagement are hypothesized in the framework of this study. Taking a sample size of N=300, in the Pakistani Telecom Sector, this study resolves to contribute to any organisation refining its HR mechanisms that encourage the level of employee engagement to rise. The data analysis reveals that practising a relevant HR mechanism improves the employee’s commitment towards his/her job and the organization. Whereas the work-life balance and perceived organizational support have a controlling effect on this relationship. The research findings can support telecom managers in strengthening their human resource practices.  The study can also help enhance employee engagement through appropriate interventions in work-life balance and perceived organizational support domains.
