A generative review on the article “Exploring the Relationship between Human Resource Management Practices and Organizational Commitment: Empirical Evidence from the Banking Sector in China, (Ghazanfar,F et al, 2012)”
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to review generatively the research article “Exploring the Relationship between Human Resource Management Practices and Organizational Commitment: Empirical Evidence from the Banking Sector in China” by Ghazanfar et al (2012). The paper critically reviews the powerful strengths of the article in the areas of identifying the research question, operationalizing, conceptualization, literature review, research design, data analysis, discussion and presentation of research finding and identified drawbacks in designing the title, the area of selecting sample and sampling techniques and generalization of research findings. The title of the research done by Ghazanfar et al (2012)1 is clear as it gives an unambiguous and straight message about the research. Though the first part of the title proposes a generalized and broad view on two concepts, (1) organizational commitment and (2) human resource management practices, the second part of the title focuses only on the banking sector in China.
