This study specifically explored the key factors that significantly influence the performance of the employee advocate role by HR professionals in a developing country context – Malawi. The study used a standardised questionnaire administered to a random sample of 305 respondents (95 HR professionals, 121 line managers, and 89 employees) drawn from public and private sector organizations in Malawi. The standard multiple regression results revealed that the perception that HR professionals perform the employee advocate role was mainly influenced by the HR professionals’ ability to motivate employees through organizing regular staff meetings. The main implication of the results of this study is that organization of regular staff meetings to listen to the views and concerns of employees is fundamental to the enhancement of the HR professionals’ employee advocate role. Such meetings provide an opportunity for the employees to have their views and concerns heard which is in line with the current wave of democratic dispensation and freedom of expression in many African countries. |
