Abstract

The importance of employee work attitudes in enhancing organisational performance is well recognised in academic literature as well as in business organisations. However, the importance of HR practices in shaping and inducing such desirable work attitudes is least investigated empirically. This study wishes to fill this gap in literature by isolating the HR practices predictors of two such work attitudes – organisational-based self-esteem (OBSE) and job involvement (JI). The HR practices of selection practices and internal promotion, employee voice and greater involvement in decision making and work teams are found to be significantly usable in eliciting the manifestation of the above listed work attitudes. The influence of gender on the linkage between the HR practices and employee work attitudes is also examined and very insightful managerial implications applicable to Indian IT industry were deduced.
