Abstract

Drawing on Conservation of Resources (COR) and spillover theories, we investigate the impacts of the availability of family‐friendly HRM practices (FFHRM: Level 2) on early‐career doctor well‐being in Pakistan. We specifically investigate the direct effects of FFHRM practices as organizational‐level resources on well‐being and their indirect effects through psychological climate of care (PCC; Level 2) a resource caravan passageway and work‐family enrichment (WFE; Level 1) which facilitates the accumulation of personal resources. Utilizing multilevel analyses in Mplus 8.3 and data derived from 46 HR managers and 246 early‐career doctors in Pakistan healthcare organizations, we found that the availability of FFHRM practices indirectly and positively influenced early‐career doctors' well‐being via PCC and WFC. Overall, we generate new insights into how FFHRM practices are linked to employee well‐being receiving that the relationship is underpinned by resources type processes. We highlight important implications for HRM theory and practice.
