Human resource practices and their association with perceived organizational support: The mediating effect of interactional justice

The purpose of this study is to examine the association of specific HR practices, namely TD, CB and WP (policies and practice) and POS and also the mediating effect of IJ between HR practices and POS.

Data was gathered from responses to questionnaire surveys and interviews given to 150 nurses working in a private hospital in Penang, Malaysia.

The results show that there is no direct effect of CB or TD on POS, WP is associated with POS and IJ does positively mediate in all three HR practices – CB, TD and WP.

This paper has an original approach by examining specific HR practices in association with IJ and POS.
