Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between Socially Responsible-Human Resource Management (SR-HRM) practices and Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) of employees. It examines the influence of three dimensions of SR-HRM, namely, Legal Compliance Human Resource Management (LC-HRM), Employee-Oriented Human Resource Management (EO-HRM) and General Corporate Social Responsibility Facilitation of Human Resource Management (GF-HRM), on employee OCB. In order to achieve the study objective, primary data was collected from 200 employees of a manufacturing company operating in Nuwara-Eliya district of Sri Lanka. Correlation analysis was used to test the research model. It was found that there is a significant and positive relationship between LC-HRM practices and employee OCB, EO-HRM practices and employee OCB and GF-HRM practices and employee OCB. The overall findings of the study suggest that SR-HRM practices have a significant and positive association with employee OCB.
