I. INTRODUCTION
In the world literature the origin of human resource
management in a raw form could be traced as back as to
3000 B.C. However over the decades it developed a
multidisciplinary organizational function there by
embodying several theories and ideas from major fields
like management, philosophy, sociology, economics etc.
(Senyucel, 2009: Panda, 2015: Mahapatra and Panda,
2008).
Human resource management in its mature form could
gain its momentum only during the mid of 1980s that
resulted in to an increase in product-market competition
like privatization and non-unionism that ultimately
forced the government to reorganize employment

The recent global recession imposed a greater strain on
employees and witnessed a pay freeze; benefit cuts and
lay-off industries that imposed a severe challenge for the
concerned employers to develop, motivate and maintain
a highly engaged work force (Aon Hewitt, 2012).
