Impact Of HRM Practices On Work Engagement In Teachers: Mediating Effect Of Psychological Capital

Abstract

The objective of this research was to explore the mediating effect of psychological capital (PychoCap) between HRM Practices (HRMP) and work engagement (WorkEng). For this purpose, Data were collected from faculty members of four public sector universities of KP: University of Malakand, University of Peshawar, Gomal University and Abdul Wali Khan University Mardan through HRM Practices scale Teseema & Soeters (2006), PychoCap scale (Luthans, Avey, Avolio, Norman, & Combs, 2006) and WorkEng scale (Bakker, Demerouti, & Verbeke, 2004). The value of .513 between HRMP and WorkEng shows a significant positive correlation between HRMP and WorkEng. Similarly the value of .423 between HRMP and PychoCap shows a significant positive correlation between HRMP and PychoCap. The value of .235 between PychoCap and WorkEng shows a significant positive correlation between PychoCap and WorkEng. Furthermore, structure equation modelling showed a partial mediation between HRMP and WorkEng through PychoCap.
