Human resource management practices on exit, voice, loyalty, and neglect: organizational commitment as a mediator.

There has been growing interest in the degree to which human resource systems contribute to organizational effectiveness. Yet, limited research attention has been paid to their influence on employees' behaviors. In this study, we examined how human resource management practices (HRMP) affected the employees' exit, voice, loyalty, and neglect (EVLN) behaviors, and organizational commitment's mediating effects. Findings indicated that selective staffing was not significantly related to any of the employees' EVLN behaviors; comprehensive training was significantly related to exit; developmental performance appraisal was significantly related to loyalty and neglect; and equitable rewards were significantly related to voice and neglect. Organizational commitment partially mediated the relationship between HRMP and employee behaviors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
