Aim The aim of this study was to determine the association of high‐commitment human resource practices (HCHRPs) with nurses’ compassionate care behaviour. Background The extant research highlights the key role of compassionate care behaviour in achieving quality health services. However, scant attention has been paid to identifying the factors that augment compassionate care behaviour among health care professionals. Methods This study took place from September 2018 to March 2019, collecting data from 340 nurses of either gender aged 24–60 years with at least 1 year experience. The study follows a cross‐sectional research design by collecting data through a personally administered survey. Results A statistically significant association was found between the four dimensions of HCHRPs and organisational commitment. Moreover, organisational commitment positively related to compassionate care behaviour and mediated the relationship between HCHRPs and compassionate care behaviour. Conclusion The findings reveal that four dimensions of HCHRPs positively influence nurses’ compassionate care behaviour via the indirect path of organisational commitment. Implications for Nursing Management The study marks the first attempt to delineate the role of HCHRPs in enhancing the compassionate care behaviour. The hospital administration and human resource managers should use HCHRPs as strategic imperative to attract competent employees and enhance compassionate care behaviour.

“…Kindness is identified as leadership trait with six elements of the concept: Authenticity, humanity, respect, perspective, integrity and competence. Thus, authentic leaders are true to themselves and to others, they act as they believe (Caldwell, 2017); Leaders with humanity are committed to both the organization's and employees' best interests (Bass & Riggio, 2005); Managers combining kindness with respect are honest while deferential (Caldwell, Hayes, & Long, 2010); kind leaders have the ability to develop refined perspective about people and situations (Caruso & Bhardwaj, 2012); Managers combining kindness with integrity generate systems reflecting their commitment to both employee and organizational capacity (Senge, 2006;Beer, 2009). The integration of kindness and competence create an additive effect on organizational performance (Casciaro & Lobo, 2008).…”

“…Byrd (2018) asserts that social injustice refers to the repression of individual and civil rights, inhibiting an employee's learning capacity in the workplace. Caldwell (2017) argues that for employees to learn and perform effectively, they must be treated as valued partners and HRD practitioners must show a genuine commitment to their welfare and growth. He identifies HRD practitioners as ethical guardians in the workplace who have a duty to work for the employees' interests while also fulfilling their responsibilities to the organization.…”

The Problem The COVID-19 pandemic has shone a stark light on workplace inequities and injustices. Aside from disrupting daily routines and ways of working, the pandemic has unmasked significant and troubling differences in the treatment and status of productive and reproductive labor. As we recover from the pandemic, how can workplaces properly recognize and value the contribution of reproductive labor? The Recommendation We focus on ethics of care as a foundational aspect of learning and human development. Care is proximal and contextual and expressions of care require managers and HRD professionals to engage with and address employees’ needs in a way that recognizes the complexity of individual situations. This may lead to the transformation of work and workplaces and bring employees into a more participatory, inclusive and democratic relationship with employers. We offer four suggestions for how HRD practitioners can practically embed an ethics of care approach within organizations. The Stakeholders This article is relevant to human resource development (HRD) scholars and practitioners who are interested in building sustainable, caring and healthy workplaces in a post-pandemic world.
