Abstract :
Occupational health and safety concerns at workplace have gained importance around the globe, but there is still a
dire need to improve workplace conditions in Pakistan to reduce the injury risks. The purpose of this study is to
investigate the impact of human resource management practices on the injury rates occurred in Pakistani public and
combined military hospitals, and compare the results. This study used quantitative research approach to examine
this dilemma of occupational health and safety. Data was collected through questionnaire from six public and six
combined military hospitals employees (N=172) using stratified random sampling technique. Findings revealed that
human resource management techniques (management commitment, reward system, communication & feedback
and occupational stress) determine the injury rates and risks significantly among hospital employees. Differences in
results of both types of hospitals have been observed. The findings of study provide deep insight into resolving the
distress factors of hospital employees. The recommendations and practical implications have also been discussed.
