HRD Climate, HRD Systems & OCB:Linkages Conceptualization, Measure & Model Fit

The present study examines the relationship between organizational investments in employee development and the resultant employee behavior. A conceptual framework of inter- linkage between HRD climate, HRD systems (such as performance appraisal, employee training, and employee empowerment) and organizational citizenship behavior was developed. The validity of the scales developed for the purpose of study was tested through the confirmatory factor analysis and the scales were found valid. The model was tested using structural equation modeling (SEM) on a sample of 306 bank managers in India. The SEM results confirmed the validity of the conceptual framework suggesting that the HRD climate prevailed and HRD systems implemented by the organizations are significantly linked to organizational citizenship behavior.
