Abstract
in the context of increasing globalization and international business integration, effective personnel motivation management as a key competitive advantage is becoming increasingly important for Russian and Chinese companies. This article examines the impact of the intensity of human resource management practices on employee motivation through the lens of perceived organizational support. The study aimed to test the mediating role of organizational support in the mechanism by which HRM practices influence employee work motivation. An additional objective is to expand our understanding of the psychological mechanisms through which HR practices translate into specific work behavior outcomes in a cross-cultural context. The results confirmed that high intensity of human resource management practices has a positive impact on employee motivation, with this relationship mediated by the perception of affective and instrumental organizational support.
