Abstract: This research's prospect is to scrutinise the role of GHRM on the HEI's EP. Additionally, this probe also emphasises the mediating effect of OCBE on the above liaison. The paper pitches a quantitative design using the convenience sampling approach by amassing the data through a structured questionnaire on 488 academics presently employed in HEIs of Garhwal province of Uttarakhand state, India. The data were collected from January until April 2022. Study outcomes empirically display how GHRM lead to EP at a substantial level in HEI background. Further, results also demonstrate that OCBE mediates the liaison amid GHRM and EP. The direct impact amid GHRM and EP was shown to be substantial even when a mediating variable (OCBE) was present. The ingenuity of this study pervades the gap in how OCBE mediates the liaison of GHRM and EP in the higher education setting. The inference of the current research was proficient of corroborating the positive apprehensions of GHRM and OCBE for EP.
