I am doing a project on Employee Relationship Management Practices in Service organizations. Kindly suggest some dimensions and scale for measuring the construct.
Maybe take a look into my Handbook of Management Scales. It is a collection of previously used measurement instruments. What you could do is to search for "relation..." there and check whether these scales fit well: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Handbook_of_Management_Scales

Abstract
This article describes four approaches to the employee-organization relationship, as defined from the employer's perspective. An empirical study of employees from ten companies found support for the basic hypothesis that employee responses differ under the four types of relationship. In general, employees performed better on core tasks, demonstrated more citizenship behavior, and expressed a higher level of affective commitment to an employer when they worked in an overinvestment (by the employer) or mutual investment relationship than when they worked in a quasi-spot-contract or underinvestment relationship. These results were obtained even after we controlled for several other variables that could affect employee performance and attitudes.

From my experience as a Healthcare manager and from doing research in Healthcare organizations it has been possible to find that important employée relationship management dimensions in these professional service organisations could be described as different forms of participation between the board, the managers and the employées, which are creating trust in the relations. In professional service organisations the power relations between leadings actors could be critical as a result of potential value collisions between management and the professional empoyées.

If staff engagement—including the barriers to it and how it might be driven—is of interest there is Engaging Staff in the Workplace, available at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/254582894_Engaging_Staff_in_the_Workplace. To note in particular, that article reproduces 12 elements of great managing that can be used to survey employee relationship management practices.
First, can you kindly tell me or us the definition of Employee Relationship Management Practices? I know some Human Resource Management Practices bundled together into HR systems. Perhaps the way how to form an HR system can be applied into the development of Employee Relationship Management Practices.
