Mediating Role of Psychological Contract Fulfilment on the Relationship between Strength of HR Signal and Organisational Commitment: Evidence from the Indian Manufacturing Sector

This study examined the relationship between human resource (HR) signals’ strength and affective organisational commitment (AOC) through the mediating role of psychological contract fulfilment (PCF). Survey data were collected from 460 manufacturing sector respondents. Structural equation modelling confirmed that HR signals’ strength and PCF positively influenced AOC. PCF also mediated the relationship between the HR signal and AOC’s strength. Results have theoretical implications, as well as practical implications for the management to consider fulfilling its obligations to meet employee needs and expectations through appropriate HR strategies for enhancing employees’ AOC.
