Abstract
This study sought to understand how the employee perceptions of human resource management practices
influence both organizationa l affective commitment and entrenchment. It represents advance ment towards
discriminant validity of such linkage s that develop between individuals and the organizations they work for. A
survey of 307 participants was conducted in an Information Technology company in B razil. It was found that
affective commitme nt has a strong and positive relatio nship with perceptions of HRM practices, while
entrenchment is also related, but in a ver y weak fashion. Training and development practices showed better fit
with the expected results of such pr actices in the organization studied, strongly affecting commitment, but not
enhancing entrenchment. Even if not generalizable, these results strengthen the research stream that defends that
commitment and entrenchment are separate constructs.
Key words: commitment; entrenchment; HRM practices.
