Moreover, this study has its theoretical contribution by applying this study in Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region and enriches literature by new evidences that GHRM could enhance SCP. Using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach for analysis purpose with 318 questionnaires collected from responder of the study disrupted among “Manaseer Group”.
