Abstract :This research aims to uncover the effects of banking sector personnel\'s perceptions regarding the strength of human resources management practices on their organizational-based self-esteem and their responses to changes. The study was conducted with the participation of 182 employees working in various banks operating within Aydın Province, utilizing a survey technique. The responses provided by the survey participants were evaluated using SPSS software, and the results were analyzed. As a result of the research, it was found that the relationship between the perceived strength of the human resource management system, organizational-based self-esteem, and employees\' responses to change, which are the operational variables of the research, had positive and significant effects at various levels. According to the findings, the perceived HRM system strength had a statistically significant effect on employees\' reactions to change in the partial intermediary variability of the organization-based self-esteem. In this study, which was conducted for white-collar employees working in banks, it was understood that employees\' perceptions of human resource system strength had positive effects on their organizational-based self-esteem and their reactions to change. Human resources activities that are aligned with the organization\'s goals, transparent, and implemented with consensus at the organizational level have a positive influence on employees\' competence, value, and cooperative behavior. These results contribute to reinforcing positive attitudes among employees when organizational changes are implemented. In this context, it is believed that this research will fill an important gap in the field.
