EDITORIAL NOTE: RETRACTION

Abstract

The article titled “The Mediating Role of Perceived HRM Practices in the Relationship
Between Managerial-Rated HRM Practices and Employee Engagement in Ethiopian Higher
Education”, authored by Zerihun Kinde Alemu, Sheref Betabo Gogsido, and Tesfaye
Tilahun Aragaw, and published in JBAS, Volume 16, Issue No. 2, pages 1–17, has been
formally retracted due to a conflict of interest.
A claimant, who was originally intended to be listed as a co-author but was omitted from the
authorship, submitted an official complaint citing a competing conflict of interest. Following a
thorough review by the Editorial Board of JBAS and the Research and Publication
Standing Committee of St. Mary’s University (the publisher of JBAS), it was determined
that the article must be retracted.
Readers are therefore strongly advised not to cite or reference this article in any academic
or professional context.
