Abstract

The main objective of research paper is to assess the “Impact of High Performance Work System (HPWS) on Organizational Performance (OP) in Banking Sector of Azad Jammu and Kashmir”. It has been well proven from existing body of knowledge that a well devised HPWS is one of the factors which can enhance the performance level in organizations. The present research work will investigate the linkage between HPWS and OP through mediating role of OCB in banking sector of Azad Jammu and Kashmir. Seven HPWS practices i-e Performance Based Rewards, Result Oriented Appraisal, Clear Job Design, High Levels of Training, Internal Mobility and Rigorous Hiring processes have been taken for the study. The adopted indicators of organizational performance constructed on cumulative performance level. Study is exploratory in nature because its main focus is on either HPWS – OP relationship will be mediated by OCB or not. Data has collected from employees of cadre Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3 officers of the banks through structured questionnaires.

The hypotheses have been tested by correlation and multiple regression analysis. Two steps multiple hierarchal regression is applied to test mediation. Cronbach’s alpha is used to test the validity and reliability of the measured constructs. Similarly, correlation and regression estimates pointed out that all the variables under study were positively related to each other. Outcomes of the study also exhibited positive and direct relationship between HPWS-OP relationships. Furthermore, it has also inveterate that OCB mediated the association between HPWS and OP. The research paper presented insights that rigorous hiring processes, high level of training and performance based rewards of HPWS practices appears as a strongest forecaster of OP and are most effective practices to determine the volumes of OP in the culture ofbanking sector of AJ&K. Therefore, it has proven that if high performance human resource management practices are designed prudently and subsequently executed in such a way that it becomes challenging for the potential competitors to reproduce then only organizations upshots competitive edge

IAEME Publication Fees


IAEME Publication charges an Article Processing Charge (APC) once an article is accepted for publication. These charges cover the costs of turning a manuscript into a finished article, as well as the costs of hosting, distributing and promoting an article.

Article Processing Charges explained

We are committed to making the costs of publishing as clear as possible and so the charges for each journal are clearly displayed on each journal`s homepage.

When a manuscript is submitted, it passes through the many different departments at Hindawi to ensure the quality checks, peer review, production and promotion of articles is carried out in a timely manner and to a high standard:

✔ The Editorial Screening team, who perform initial technical and ethical checks

✔ The Editorial team, who help the journal`s Academic Editors manage the review process

✔ The Production team, who convert the manuscript to a professionally typeset article and well-structured file format

✔ The Proofing team, who coordinate the proofing process through Hindawi`s Online Proofing System (OPS)

✔ The Editorial Quality Assurance team, who perform a final check to ensure that the manuscript and its review process adhere to the journal`s guidelines and policies

✔ Our Marketing and Communication teams, who ensure your article receives the attention it deserves.

✔ The Technology team, who build and maintain our systems, and develop new systems

The work these teams do contribute to the requirement of an APC and is why the actual amount payable varies depending on the journal in which you wish to publish your article.

IAEME Publication does not request Article Submission Charges, also called Submission Fees. These are due at the time of submission of the manuscript. Nor does IAEME charge per page or for color figures or for any other items for which other publishers are known to charge.

Sources for Article Processing Charges (APC)

Authors of an article are responsible for arranging the payment of APC. Still, that typically does not mean that authors end up paying for the publication of the article. The cost of APC is very often assumed either by the organization funding the research published in the article, or by an Open Access Publishing Fund, or by the institution at which the author is employed.

Fair Dealing - Authors and Publisher

When an author submits a manuscript for review at one of IAEME`s journals, the submitted manuscript should not have been previously published in any form and must not be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. The manuscript should also not be submitted to any other journal during the review process at IAEME Publication. In case the review process at IAEME takes much longer than stated and the author wishes to end the review process at IAEME, he/she should get in contact with the Editorial Assistant of the journal at IAEME and come to an agreement suitable for both sides after looking at the stage of the manuscript in the review process.

With the APC specified above, the author is given an indication what the APC will be. IAEME is charging Publication Fees (APC) but not Submission Fees. This is to the benefit to authors because payments are only due once the author knows the manuscript is accepted. IAEME with editors and reviewers puts much effort in dealing with the manuscript and expects the authors to stick to the common plan of publishing the paper which is linked to payments of APC as given above at the end of the review process. The author is not legally bound at this time, but it would be seen as a strong breach of academic conduct to back off from the publication process. Once the manuscript is accepted for publication, IAEME will issue an invoice in the Paper Submission and Manuscript Tracking System. This is IAEME `s legal offer and will state the regular APC of the journal. The Corresponding Author is expected to arrange payments of the amount stated at this time. In severe cases IAEME `s Complaints Procedure can be followed and the result of this should be binding to the author.

Refund Policy

Once an article has been accepted for publication, any Article Processing Charges on the article become due. The submitting author accepts responsibility for the Article Processing Charges, and will not issue refunds of any kind except those payments made by mistake or in excess of the amount required.
