This study addresses persisting theoretical and methodological gaps in human resource management by investigating the impact of ability, motivation, and opportunity-enhancing HR practices on employee well-being, while considering moderating and mediating factors.Through a cross-sectional survey of 600 surgical industry employees in Sialkot, the research employs structural equation modelling to analyse data.Results reveal positive connections between HR practices and employee well-being.Organisational justice partially mediates the relationship between HR practices and well-being.Additionally, leader-member exchange moderates this association.The study emphasises the significance of ability, motivation, and opportunity-enhancing HR practices in enhancing employee well-being.It offers practical guidance to industry managers to cultivate these practices, thereby improving employee abilities, motivation, and opportunities, ultimately enhancing well-being.The research expands HR knowledge and introduces novel constructs like organisational justice and leader-member exchange to the discussion on employee well-being.
