Abstract

Contribution/Originality: This study is one of few studies which have investigated the influence of HRM practices on quality education in private higher education institutes mediating by faculty commitment behaviour. INTRODUCTIONRecently, the United Nations Committee for Development Policy, on completion of its review of the LDC (Least Development Country) category, announced that Bangladesh has met all criteria for graduation from the status of LDC to developing one for the first time (Daily New Age, 2018). Prior to this recent information about the economic growth process of Bangladesh, Nobel laureate economist (Sen, 2017) expounded that in some socioeconomic and human development indicators, Bangladesh is comparatively way ahead of India. Undoubtedly, in spite of several sociopolitical bottlenecks, Bangladesh has proven its worth as one of the rapidly emerging economies improving all its development indicators particulalry notable in human development index. In this respect, emerging private higher education sector has a remarkable contribution to this continuous growth process by developing a large number of skilled human resources specifically in the business and IT sector since 1992 when the Private University Act was passed by the government of Bangladesh. Although Bangladesh is a small deltaic land formed by the Bay of Bengal on its northern side, it has surprisingly bagged quite a large number of established private universities which are currently more than hundred in number approved by the university grant

Procedural Justice, Distributive Justice, Perceived Organizational Support, Organizational Commitment and Academicians’ Turnover Intention in the Private Universities of Bangladesh: A Conceptual Framework

“…Out of total number of universities, there are 46 public universities with 8,17,707 academicians and 105 private universities having 3,49,160 academicians. However, faculty turnover is a continuous alarming problem for many private universities in Bangladesh (Joarder & Sharif, 2011;Joarder et al, 2020).

“…Perhaps, human resources may be the trickiest of an organization's resources to manage (Mintzberg, 2019). Since the faculty turnover rate in private universities of Bangladesh is significantly higher in comparison to the rate in public universities (Joarder et al, 2020), the retention of academicians is considered to be one of the most significant challenges faced by the private higher education institutions of this country.
