AB - The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that influence the development of human capital by examining the interplay between different organizational mechanisms, including leadership, organizational culture and human resources management (HRM) practices.

This study used partial least squares structural equation modeling as the statistical analysis method.FindingsThe results of the study indicate that leadership behaviors have a predictive influence on organizational culture. In turn, organizational culture significantly affects knowledge exchange. Additionally, the study reveals that commitment-based HRM practices play a significant moderating role in the relationship between organizational culture and knowledge exchange.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the existing literature by providing valuable insights into the interplay between leadership, organizational culture and commitment-based HRM practices.
