Abstract: Market competition increased difficulty for organizations to hold premium quality workers. This research explores on the human resources management (HRM) practices and affective commitment (AC) among a sample of 384 financial industry employees in Klang, Selangor, Malaysia. The hypotheses were developed by considering the correlation between four key HRM practices (training, career advancement, performance evaluation and rewards) and AC. The findings indicates that the independent variables of career development, training and performance appraisal have a positive and significant relationship with AC, whereas rewards has no correlation with AC. The findings imply that in the Malaysian financial industry needs greater training programmes and effective performance evaluations to increase employees’ performance and commitment.
