Design/methodology/approach This study is based on a review of the literature and offers a conceptual analysis to explain the impact of POS, OPI and exchange quality on the employee’s perception of value proposition. Findings POS, OPI and exchange quality can act as social exchange elements and can co-create value for internal customers thereby enhancing value perception.

Research limitations/implications This is a conceptual paper hence based on literature review of relevant papers. Practical implications This study has major implications for understanding the factors that can improve the overall workplace experience of employees and can make the organization one of the best places to work. This will, in turn, enhance employee retention and can be a major strategy of talent management.
