Abstract
Drawing upon the ability-motivation-opportunity (AMO) framework and social exchange theory, this study examined the effect of HR practices (training, employee benefits, and employee participation) on employee attitude (satisfaction, affective commitment, normative commitment and continuance commitment). Primary data was collected from 521 medical workers (excluding medical doctors) in a large public hospital in Makurdi through the use of questionnaire. Results of multiple regression analysis indicates a positive effect of HR practices on job satisfaction, affective commitment, and normative commitment. However, the effect of HR practices on continuance commitment was negative. This implies that respondents in the study have a social exchange relationship with their organization. The study recommends that managers of public hospitals should consider employees as important stakeholders and invest in HR practices that improves their skills and abilities, as well as motivate and provide opportunities for employees to contribute to workplace decisions. This will engender positive attitudes that benefit both employees and their organizations.
