In response to recently announced privatization of Public sector banks of Pakistan, the current study attempts to investigate the impact of perceived high performance work systems on commitment to change along with its interlinking mechanisms. A total of 1000 full-time employees were surveyed through self-administered questionnaires during August-December 2017. Out of 670 returned questionnaires, 591 completed questionnaires were analyzed. Goodness of the measures was tested by employing Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Proposed Hypotheses were tested through Structural Model in AMOS. The data largely substantiated by our theoretical framework. The findings revealed that the perceptions of economic exchange fully mediate the relation between HPWS and continuance commitment to change. Finally, theoretical and managerial implications are discussed, highlighting the issues that must be focused during chaotic nature of large-scale implementation of change initiatives in public sector.
