Why Do High-Performance Human Resource Practices Matter for Employee Outcomes in Public Sector Universities? The Mediating Role of Person–Organization Fit Mechanism

Abstract

Based on the attraction–selection–attrition (ASA) framework, this research aimed to investigate the mechanism which affects the link between high-performance human resource practices (HPHRPs) and the two negative employee outcomes of the present study: emotional exhaustion and quit intentions. Using the ASA framework, the authors examine one such mechanism namely person–organization (P-O) fit, through which HPHRPs influence both the studied employee negative outcomes. A sample of professionals working in the public sector universities of Pakistan is adopted for testing the mediation model by using structural equation modeling. Findings reveal that HPHRPs have positive association with P-O fit, and negative with emotional exhaustion and quit intentions. Moreover, the findings illustrated a full mediation effect of P-O fit on the relationship among HPHRPs and both of the employee outcomes. The study has important theoretical and practical implications.

How Do Leaders Influence Innovation and Creativity in Employees? The Mediating Role of Intrinsic Motivation

“…Second, as the objective of this study is to analyze the outcome variables, we found PLS path as an appropriate approach to do the same (Sarstedt et al, 2014). Finally, this approach is reflected to be the most advanced and common method of the SEM techniques that are variance based (McDonald, 1996, Siyal et al, 2020. Consequently, we used SmartPLS 3 for this study (Richter et al, 2016).…”

“…Second, as the objective of this study was to analyze the outcome variable, we found PLS-SEM path modeling to be an appropriate approach to do so (Hair et al, 2011). Third, this approach is considered the most advanced and common variance-based SEM technique (McDonald, 1996; Siyal et al, 2020). Consequently, we used Smart PLS 3 for the current study (Richter et al, 2016).…”

“…The inferential analysis of the study was tested by using a Partial Least Square (PLS)-Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). There are various other studies which had also used the PLS-SEM for their analysis ( Ahmad et al, 2019c ; Siyal et al, 2020 , 2021a , 2021b ). The two models were run for conducting an inferential analysis, measurement model, and structural model.…”
