This investigation focuses on the impacts of socially responsible human resource management (SR-HRM) methods on affective commitment (AC) as well as the intervening impact of perceived organizational support (POS) for this association. Primary data depending on 555 respondents owned by various socially responsible companies within in Ethiopia were gathered. The data were analyzed with Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) techniques using SmartPLS to determine the hypothesized connections concerning socially responsible -HRM and affective commitment.The outcomes have uncovered that the employees’ perceptions of socially responsible human resource management (SR-HRM) practice impact affective commitment indirectly via perceived organizational support in Ethiopian setting. This research enhances the literature by analyzing the causal association concerning socially responsible HRM practices and employees' affective commitment in developing country context.

Summary

Introduction

Committed workers are vital to strong company performance, fruitful change and, eventually, enduring corporate achievement. Socially responsible HRM is developing as an idea fundamentally contrived out of two zones of study, human resource management, and corporate social responsibility. These two are definitely connected since SR-HRM strategies are tailored to internal partners (employees) by relying on the basic principle of HRM which usually intended to advance and enhance employees welfare (Lechuga Sancho et al 2018). Because affective commitment demonstrates employees’ psychological connection with their organizations, it has often been considered as a representative construct of employee motivation that can be influenced by HRM systems(Meyer 2016)
