Abstract: High performance Management practices (HPMP) and Organizational Commitment (OC) have consistently been the researchers’ interest during the last 30 years. Despite the fact that, they have developed a significant amount of literature in this field, but they have no agreement on HPMP and its outcomes, that is satisfaction and commitment. For this motive, this study singles out Affective Commitment (AC) as the ‘desire’ component of Organizational Commitment and the study tried to ascertain the effect of High-Performance Management Practices (HPMP) on Affective Commitment (AC): Comparative analysis of public and private sector universities in KP. This study is quantitative and adopted a survey research design. The study has conducted by taking 162 respondents via convenient sampling method. The study has used to check descriptive statistics and simple linear regression analysis. Research findings revealed that for private sector universities, with the exception of performance appraisal, all other HPMP (recruitment, working environment, work life polices, training, and remuneration) have significant and positive effect on Affective Commitment. The results for public sector universities showed that only recruitment and working environment has positive and significant effect on Affective Commitment rendering the rest of the practices is insignificant. These results open new avenues for researchers to understand how the universities from both sectors use their HR practices to influence the emotional attachment to their organizations.
