2. Introduction:
Theory : A fair practice of HR functions can establish affective commitment which lead
employee to be innovative.
Interpretation: A fair practice of HR functions (e.g. recruitment & selection, training and
deve lopme nt, pe rformance apprais al &compe ns ation ) Incre ase employee’s job s atis faction which
encourage them to intimate with organization. As they think themselves member of the
organization they will think about Organization, which in term establish a commitment within
themselves. This is calle d “Affe ctive commitme nt”. Whe n a affe ctive commitme nt build up, the y
will think how to improve organizational performance. This will lead them to the innovation (
products, processes, services, technologies, or ideas that are more effective to the
organization.)
Through best possible use and application of HR policies in the organization, commitment
can be encouraged thus leading to better performance, improve staff attitude and lower labour
turnover, this is the ideal aim of the human resource practices which has been argued to neglect the
fact that HR specialists and line managers have a major impact on how these HR policies are
implemented.
De Coninsk and Stilwe ll (1996) argued that what directly influences employee's affective
commitment is not the actual practices itself, but the employee perceptions of fairness of
practices that affects organizational commitment
Literature review:
“Impact of HRM on performance depends upon
worker's response to HRM practices, so the impact will move in direction of the
perception of HRM practices by the employee”. Wood (1999) and Guest (2002)
Meyer and Allen (1997) indicated that HRM practices have been considered to be valuable and
effective tools for elevating organizational commitment, especially affective commitment
“Satisfied employees are more productive, innovative and loyal, which in turn to customer retention
(Corporate Leadership council,2003)
A range of HR practices which are suggested as being important to acquire employee commitment
and innovation are:
One of the main and most basic HRM practice is of Recruiting and selecting staff with
the correct attitudinal and behavioral characteristics. The process of choosing candidate for a
particular position is called Selection. “In this process the right person chosen for the requisite

3. qualifications and knowledge is placed in the appropriate job position to decrease the cost, and
maximize the profits by means of their merit and talent” (Vlachos 2008). Huselid (1995) has
established that organizational productivity and high degree of performance is dependant upon
the selection of the appropriate person.
Thang (2004) in his study has shown as to effect of suitable HRM related decision on
how well employees are performing their jobs. This aspect of HRM practice refers to how people
see their HRM department, with respect, with disdain, with indifference and so on. It refers to the
fact that the acceptance of various HRM practices depend largely on the overall image of the HR
department.
Training refers to some activities which equip employees with needed skills to perform
better in their current jobs (Li, et al. 2008). Bartel (1994) in her study found a positive and
significant relation between training and labour productivity. Guidetti and Mazzanti (2007)
found that high performance and training activities are positively associated. Bradley, Petrescu
and Simmons (2004) explain that creating on-going learning as well as training in workplace has
a highly significant effect on job satisfaction, that increases the probability of work being either
completely or very satisfied that enhance employee motivation and commitment.
Compensation by its definition means all monetary payments and all commodities used
instead of financial to recompense employees. Attractive pay practices play a major role in
attracting to show a continuously high level of commitment and performance in order to keep
their jobs. connecting pay with performance, the company can educe desired standards of
performance as well as specific task orientation from employee (Noe et al., 2006)
Innovation is the application of new solutions that meet new requirements, inarticulate
needs, or existing market needs. This is accomplished through more effective products,
processes, services, technologies, or ideas that are readily available to markets, governments and
society.
The tendency of a worker to stay with a company that is based on an emotional attachment
commitment can be influenced by many different demographic characteristics: age, tenure, sex, and
education but these influences are neither strong nor consistent.
