The Mediating Effect of Organisational Justice Between Human Resource Practices and Employee Outcomes

Abstract

The thesis has contributed to theory by addressing and urging the readers to take newlinepart in how human resource practices relate to different employee outcome debate by confirming not only the role of organizational justice theory but also approves different mediating influence of organizational culture, organizational change, and LMX. The study has also contributed to the issues of methodology validity ( e.g. Gerhart, 1999; Gerhart et al., 2000a and 2000b; Rogers and Wright,1998; Wright et al.,2001b) of employee outcomes which will help in understanding employee behavior newlinemore appropriately, particularly in Indian banks. The study tried to overcome few newlinelimitations by using 1) both qualitative and quantitative methods 2) analysis at multiple levels. Another contribution of this study is towards adding knowledge to the comparative human resource practices literature, specific to Indian banking industry. The research also establishes the importance of a leader and organizational structure while building perception of human resource Practices in the banking sector. The study contributes to the practice and has implications for human resource Practitioners by recognising the importance of implementation of human resource Practices and subsequent behaviours within the newlineorganization.This thesis addressed the causality in the relationship by focusing on the unique variables and employee outcomes, particularly in the Indian banking industry. This will help in overcoming the workforce challenges faced by the Indian banks in the current newlinebusiness scenario. The hidden mechanisms such as organizational change, organizational culture, LMX, Organizational structure (examined as unique variables) in the study newlinewould facilitate banks to improve employee outcomes, which will eventually increase newlineemployee productivity. The implications of the findings for future research into human resource practices literature are noted and the limitations of study are discussed. newline
