Commitment, Involvement, and Satisfaction as Predictors of Employee Performance

Human Resource Management (HRM) in India has undergone a sea change since the liberalization of the economy in 1991. However, there have been few studies on how these organizational reforms have influenced the Indian managerial mindset. In this study, data were collected from 357 managerial level employees of Indian organizations in order to analyze the impact of human resource management policies and practices in a globalized Indian economy and subsequently, their outcomes with respect to individual behavior and performances. The results showed that although discrepancies were abounding regarding individual reactions to a hitherto closed and controlled economy; being suddenly an open workplace, the overall conclusions were quite positive. The findings indicate that human resource practices in India need to adapt to contemporary practices and procedures worldwide, while at the same time maintain its unique cultural ethos.
