Employees’ overall perception of HRM effectiveness

Although the effects of a company’s overall human resources (HR) practices, or HR bundle, have been extensively examined, the effects of employees’ overall perception of HR effectiveness have rarely been studied. The current research examines whether a company’s commitment HR bundle measured at the company level is associated with an employee’s overall perception measured at the individual level, and whether the overall perception influences his/her perceived procedural justice and organizational commitment. Using data collected from 37 companies and 959 employees in Korea, the results show that the company’s HR bundle affects the overall perception of the employees, and that the overall perception predicts organizational commitment, which is partially mediated by procedural justice perception. Discussions and implications of the results are included.
