This study aims to identify the effect of human resource management
practices to work engagement and proactive behavior of health workers
in Gia Lai province in Vietnam. Based on theoretical frameworks of
human resource management, work engagement and proactive behavior,
this study developed a research model and tested its relationship between
human resource management practices, work engagement and proactive
behavior of healthcare workers in Gia Lai Province. This research has used
a mixed research method with qualitative and quantitative research. The
quantitative research was conducted by survey with 232 health workers. The
hypotheses were tested by using structural equation modeling (SEM). The
findings showed that the human resources management practices have a
positive and significant influence on proactive behavior which also has a
direct influence on work engagement of healthcare workers. Besides, work
engagement plays a role in mediating the influence of human resources
management practices on proactive behavior. The implications of this
research are that health care oganizations should pay more attention to
human resources management practices to improve work engagement that
assist in increasing employee proactive behavior. Efficient human resources
management practices help boost work engagement and initiality which in
turn improves the quality of health care services and minimise errors in
treatments.
