Mediating effect of ethical climates on HRM practices and organizational performance : A proposed theoretical framework

摘要

Prior studies revealed that human resource management practices (HRM practices) are considered the best internal factors that lead to organizational performance, (OP) but some studies argued that why HRM practices effect performance in an organization, what fundamental reasons through which HRM practices influence OP? Some little studies attempted to explore mechanism through which HRM practices influence performance in an organization, however, still there are needs for more studies to clear the assumptions in the literature. Resource Based View (RBV) highlighted that HRM practices influence OP through resources that are deeply woven in organizational history, like of ethics, organizational values.The present study proposed to use ethical climates as potential mediator on HRM practices and OP relationship.
