De telles pratiques doivent permettre aux employés individuels de tenir dans leur emploi et l’organisation et de s’engager à leurs organisations. Cette étude portera sur la relation entre les pratiques de gestion des ressources humaines, propres à l’organisation du personnel et l’engagement organisationnel.
