Abstract
Abstract: Within the framework of Corporate Social Responsibility, workers' perceptions regarding human resource policies and practices imple mented by the organization are relevant to the organizational commit ment that they display towards the institution. We analyze the rela tionship between workers' perceptions of company human resource policies and practices and the multidimensional construct of organi zational commitment through cross-sectional correlational research for a sample of 89 workers from 7 different organizations in the Ñuble Province, Chile. This study aims to understand workers' perceptions regarding the implementation, by the organization, of certain labor policies and practices, and its relationship with the degree of organi zational commitment, measured through the instrument proposed by Meyer and Allen in 1991. The results show that most of the good practices analyzed have a high positive and moderate correlation with organizational commitment. The positive relationship between com mitment and at least one of the aspects of each “Good Labor Practice” studied is highlighted: Benefits and Compensations, Health and Safety, Human Resources Processes, Training and Professional Development and Work Conciliation.
