Abstract

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.
