However, there is a lack of empirical evidence supporting the notion that commitment-based human resource practices (CBHRP) lead to JE. Furthermore, little is known about the underlying mechanism that delineates this relationship. Drawing from the principles of the conservation of resources (COR) theory, this study posits that CBHRP = fosters employees’ sense of material gain (SMG) and sense of spiritual gain (SSG), which in turn leads to employee JE. 209 employees participated in the study using the convenience sampling technique. SPSS 22, AMOS 23, and PROCESS Macro v4.0 were used for data analysis. The findings revealed that SMG and SSG have parallel, partial mediating effects on the relationship between CBHRP and JE. The study makes a novel contribution by introducing SMG and SSG as mediators, which provides new insights into how and when CBHRP leads to JE, hence enriching the existing knowledge on CBHRP and JE. https://ijms.ut.ac.ir/article_96039_a2e4192db2d1cb8e7b7017a8e0ea6b37.pdf
