Abstract

In the competitive working environment, organizations and researchers have focused their attention to highlight means and ways to gain more advantage on less resource consumption; hence more focus is paid on channelizing Human Resource Practices to gain maximum return on Investment. The data is collected from the banking sector of Pakistan from a sample of 400 employees. The theme is to analyze the association among the variables at a multi-level i.e. the data is collected from two pools of respondents, one the staff level employees and the second are the middle management employees using an adapted questionnaire comprising of two sections for each pool respectively. Reliability test, correlation analysis and Regression analysis is conducted on the data. The findings of the result supports the positive association of independent variable with dependent variables (department and employee level measures of HPWS). The study sets implications for HR Professionals, Policy makers and Strategic thinkers.
