High Performance Work System

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of high-performance system on career success. To achieve this, questionnaire was used to collect data from sample of 358 employees from 14 business companies in Jordan. Results reveal that high-performance work system (HPWS) positively affects career success. Specifically, this study proves that both subjective and objective career success is positively related to HPWS. Furthermore, results demonstrate that training and development, performance management, and career management practices enhance career success. Implications for managers and suggestions for future research are also discussed.

AbstractWhile there is extensive management and academic literature on the topic area of high performance management internationally, research on high performance management practices in the Australian context is limited. Furthermore, research on high performance management practices has focused predominantly on large organisations and is largely a new direction for research in SMEs. This study attempts to fill some of the gaps in existing studies by considering a wide range of high performance management practices in Australian SMEs. Owing to the dearth of national data on high performance management in Australian SMEs, the results of this study are used to determine whether there is any evidence of a ‘high performing’ scenario in relation to management practices in Australian SMEs. The results, reporting a national study (N = 1435) on employee management in Australian SMEs, reveal a moderate take-up of high performance management practices. The findings by themselves do not support a ‘high’ performing scenario in relation to management practices in SMEs; however the low application of participative practices in the context of low unionization, and a low incidence of collective relations, indicates that many SMEs need a makeover if they are to meet the demands of competition. It is evident from the findings in this study that high performance practices in SMEs stand to benefit from modernisation and improvement.

Although the job/employment security is critical to the implementation of high performance management practices (Pfeffer and Veiga, 1999), its impact on innovation remains understudied, especially in the context of small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) in emerging and transition economies (ETEs). This paper uses the institution-based view in entrepreneurship and strategic management to (i) analyze the relationships between the formality of an employment contract and the firm’s innovation (i.e., product innovation, product improvement, process innovation and intention of innovation); and (ii) indentify potential antecedents of the contractual formality. Based on a sample of 865 private, domestic SMEs operating in the manufacturing sector in an ETE — namely Vietnam — and by using multivariable regression techniques, we find that the formality of the employment contract significantly and positively influences some aspects of the firm’s innovation (i.e., product improvement and process innovation). Furthermore, the major factors that determine the employment contract’s degree of formality are the manager’s regulatory knowledge, the degree of industrial competition and the existence of a labor representative within the firm. Implications for policy makers, managers and future research are suggested.

The development and expansion of knowledge management as an important management philosophy has a significant impact on human resources management as well as on organization as a whole. In this context, knowledge management processes have been used as a strategic tool within human resources management.Therefore, functions of human resources management must adapt itself to this change. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of human resources management in the management of knowledge and to reveal the effects of knowledge management practices on the functions of human resources byexamining the relationship between human resources and knowledge management. In this context, a theoretical investigation was conducted. It has been determined that significant changes occurred on the functions of human resources management such as selection and recruitment, performance management, remuneration and reward, training and development within the framework of the knowledge management strategies.
