HRM'S TRIPLE IMPACT: ABILITY, MOTIVATION, AND OPPORTUNITY ON EMPLOYEE WORK RESULTS

Abstract

 This comprehensive study underscores the profound influence of human resource management (HRM) initiatives on the alignment and performance outcomes of employees within Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) listed companies. Drawing data from an extensive survey encompassing 375 BSE-listed firms, we meticulously analyzed 315 survey responses that provided robust insights. Employing a dual-method approach, our qualitative analysis involved intensive group discussions with 10 industry experts, while our quantitative analysis incorporated advanced statistical techniques including Cronbach’s Alpha, EFA, CFA, and SEM modeling. The findings unequivocally reveal that HRM activities—encompassing enhancement of skills, motivation, and opportunities—significantly impact employee alignment, characterized by suitability, connection, and sacrifice. Specifically, initiatives focusing on skill enhancement positively correlate with job suitability and connection. Meanwhile, efforts aimed at motivation enhancement resonate positively with job suitability, connection, and sacrifice. Furthermore, initiatives fostering opportunity enhancement are positively associated with job suitability, sacrifice, and connection. Ultimately, these dimensions of alignment—job suitability, sacrifice, and connection—profoundly bolster employee performance outcomes
