Abstract

This aim of this study is to conceptualize the influence of HRM practices (such as job promotion, salary and benefit, training and development) towards job satisfaction among millennial employees in China. Millennial employees are important workforce undertaking major work initiatives in different posts of diverse industries. A framework of inspecting job satisfaction among millennial employees from some practices of HRM has been formulated to conceptualize the correlation between the related variables. Four propositions are constructed. Firstly, HRM practices have a positive effect on employees’ job satisfaction. Secondly, there is a significantly positive relationship between job promotion and employees’ job satisfaction when employees who produce results can get promoted opportunities. Thirdly, there is a significantly positive relationship between salary and benefit and employees’ job satisfaction where a good and reasonable system of wage and compensation is implemented. Finally, there is a significantly positive relationship between training and development and employees’ job satisfaction in those kinds of organizations where employees are filled with ambition and motivation to pursuit self-improvement. This research will benefit HRM practitioners with acquiring some aspiration as well as implications. Meanwhile, it is helpful for organizations or enterprises to keep rapid development by accessing some knowledge of HRM to make some pertinent strategies.
