Abstract
As employees ’ employment motivation and work concept turn to development orientation and growth needs, development-oriented human resource management practices (DHRMPs) that focus on employee development needs and provide employees with development resources and fair opportunities have emerged. Literature review found that social exchange theory and resource conservation theory can provide theoretical support for DHRMPs. The implementation of DHRMPs in enterprises helps employees to form a benign interaction with enterprises, thus promoting organizational performance, employees ’ work engagement and reducing their turnover intention. In the future research, we can make a deeper discussion on the antecedent variables of DHRMPs, scale development and testing, and the diversification of research objects.
