Abstract: Researchers have highlighted that as work from home (WFH) mechanisms have progressed during pandemic COVID-19, there is a likelihood that occupational stress levels may arise considerably. Mental health of the employees may deteriorate due to work related stress. Hence, it remains eminent to explore during pandemic, how involvement human resource management practices would affect stress levels of the employees. Perceived work-based self-efficacy, employee stress management and hope were estimated as mediating constructs among involvement HRM practices and mental well-being of employees. In this regard, it was endeavoured to collect primary data through structured questionnaire from the sales staff of telecommunication sector of Pakistan using non-probability convenience sampling. Data estimation was conducted using covariance-based structural equation modelling (CB-SEM) on AMOS 25.0. The results affirmed theoretically established associations.
