The effect of human resource practices on perceived organizational support in the People’s Republic of China
研究了中国东南部一家酒店员工的人力资源实践(招聘、培训、薪酬)如何影响他们的感知组织支持,进而影响工作满意度,并验证了西方结论在中国的适用性。
Using a sample of workers and managers employed by a hotel located in Southeastern People’s Republic of China, we investigated the relationship between various human resource management practices and the perceived organizational support (POS) experienced by the employees. We then investigated the effects of POS on employee satisfaction. Our data suggest that hiring practices, training, and compensation practices predict POS. These results are consistent with previous research. We also found that POS influences worker satisfaction and acts as a mediator between select HR practices and satisfaction. This study contributes to the literature by replicating Western-based findings with a Chinese sample and illustrating that the attitudes of Chinese employees can be influenced through the use of HR practices.
