This paper presents the relative impact of supervisor support, pay level satisfaction & career growth opportunities on the development of perceived organizational support (POS) of employees. Survey data were collected from banking sector professionals working in the branches of four major private commercial banks of Pakistan in Hazara Division. The findings of this study highlighted that “career growth opportunities” is a stronger predictor of POS than supervisor support and pay level satisfaction. The results suggest that organizational leaders must adequately address employee needs through the effective use of different human resource practices including fair rewards, effective leader-member relationship and proper career growth opportunities. These programs bring about perceived organizational support which in turn can lead to positive organizational outcomes
