The relationship between High Performance Work Practices and Employee Well-being:An Intervening Effect of Work Motivation and Work/Family BalanceChen, Yi-chien 05 February 2010 (has links)
High-Tech industries in Taiwan realize that employees with professional knowledge and skills are the core advantage to competition, therefore implement so call Strategic Human Resource Management(SHRM). Recently, ¡§high performance work practices(HPWPs)¡¨, one of SHRM, becomes more and more emphasized. It is one of management systems that help employees to get needed competences through commitment, involvement, and incentives and to enhance the contributions to organization. However, are employees in high performance work organization feeling well-being? The purpose of this study is to realize the relevance of these two variables, and also if mediating variables, work motivation and work-family balance, work.
Literatures about HPWPs are all about the outcomes of organization, however, this study emphasizes on individual with mediating variables, work motivation and work-family balance. Questionnaires was adopted for this study and 301 valid samples are collected from individuals in high-tech industry. Through statistics analysis, the main results are as below:
1. HPWPs separately have partial positive effect on work motivation, work-family balance, and well-being.
2. HPWPs have positive effect on work motivation and this work motivation mediates the effect of HPWPs on well-being.
3. the positive effect of HPWPs on well-being is mediated by work-family balance.

High-involvement work systems : their effect on employee turnover and organisational performance in New Zealand organisationsDoody, Sarah-Jane Patricia January 2007 (has links)
Organisations can create a competitive advantage through the way they design their human resource systems. High involvement work systems are considered to be a way to increase organisational performance and decrease employee turnover. However, the components involved are difficult and complex to define, and the synergy amongst the different components hard to evaluate. The literature suggests that the research is not uniform in its approach, and most research does not clearly define the variables involved or agree on the expected results of such systems.
This research looks at high involvement work systems in the New Zealand organisational context, and relating these systems to employee turnover and organisational performance. The results of the study suggest that there does not appears to be a relationship between high involvement work systems, and employee turnover and organisational performance; but high involvement systems may contribute to increased labour productivity in New Zealand organisations.

Effective people performance strategies : critical ingredients for business success in Barbados and Eastern Caribbean business enterprises.Richards, Hartley B. January 2008 (has links)
Today, the effective management of people is assuming prominence as a source of sustained business performance improvement. The rationale for this trend is that other significant aspects of business, such as marketing, new technology, market niche, trademarks and brand image have generally been mastered. Therefore, business enterprises are being encouraged in seeking to gain comparative advantage by reliance on their human resources because this aspect of business is arguably more difficult to imitate or understand than the more conventional resources. As a result, there is an awakening of the need to introduce management practices that will concentrate on the added value which a highly motivated work force may provide to the organisation.
The idea of added value from a highly motivated work force assumes even greater significance when the main business hinges almost entirely on the attitudes and approaches of people. This concept applies most forcibly to Barbados and the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (BOECS), the region covered by this study.
This research therefore, explores the idea of gaining comparative advantage through appropriate people management methods and follows the trend in the developed and more industrialised nations of the world in an effort to determine whether there is a useful model of effective management practices which may be replicated in the BOECS and thus lead to improved business performance in the micro states which constitute this

region. However, this study is mindful of the limitations of the research methodology which a vast number of contributors to this intriguing topic have employed. Nevertheless, this exploratory attempt examines the issue in the light of its possible positive effect on a previously uncharted area, viz., Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean (BOECS) as far as it relates to scholarly treaties on Human Resource Management. The idea is that even in the absence of clear unequivocal empirical evidence about its benefits, it may be useful to pursue the strategic approach to Human Resource Management including expansion of employee involvement, for it own sake.

Bien-être au travail et performance de l'entreprise : une analyse par les paradoxes / Well-being at work and corporate performance : an analysis throught paradoxesBernard, Nathalie 26 November 2019 (has links)
À l’heure où les entreprises, confrontées à de nombreux bouleversements, sont plus que jamais en recherche de performance, et à l’heure où les salariés, dénonçant les conditions de travail et les pratiques managériales, n’ont jamais été aussi demandeurs de bien-être au travail, réconcilier le bien-être des salariés et la performance de l’entreprise est un sujet d’actualité et un enjeu stratégique pour les entreprises.La revue de la littérature et les résultats d’une analyse qualitative exploratoire menée à l’aide d’entretiens semi-directifs auprès de 55 salariés du groupe RESSIF (Réseau des Services Sociaux Interentreprises de France) nous amènent à envisager le « bien-être au travail » et la « performance de l’entreprise » en termes de méta-perspective paradoxale et à proposer des voies de résolution de ce paradoxe organisationnel.Pour ce faire, nous avons mené deux études quantitatives. La première étude est basée sur 5300 observations issues de l’enquête « conditions de travail » du Ministère français du travail. La deuxième est basée sur les réponses de 270 entreprises à un questionnaire en ligne portant sur les pratiques de gestion des ressources humaines.Finalement, nos résultats empiriques concluent que les facteurs permettant de concilier le bien-être au travail et la performance de l’entreprise sont, parmi les conditions de travail, la lutte contre l’intensité et l’insoutenabilité du travail et, parmi les pratiques de ressources humaines, le développement de la participation des salariés aux décisions de l’entreprise, la formation, les promotions et perspectives de carrière et, dans une moindre mesure, l’évaluation de la performance.Pour conclure ce travail, sont présentées les contributions théoriques, méthodologiques et managériales, ainsi que les voies futures de recherche. / At a time when companies, faced with many upheavals, are more than ever in search of performance, and when employees, denouncing working conditions and managerial practices, have never been so demanding of well-being at work, reconciling employee well-being and company performance is a topical issue and a strategic challenge for companies.The literature review and the results of an exploratory qualitative analysis conducted using semi-directive interviews with 55 employees of the RESSIF group (Réseau des Services Sociaux Interentreprises de France) lead us to consider "well-being at work" and "company performance" in terms of paradoxical meta-perspective and to propose ways to resolve this organizational paradox.To do this, we conducted two quantitative studies. The first study is based on 5300 observations from the working conditions survey of the French Ministry of Labor. The second is based on the answers of 270 companies to an online questionnaire on human resources management practices.Finally, our empirical results conclude that the factors that make it possible to reconcile well-being at work and company performance are, among working conditions, the fight against work intensity and unsustainability and, among human resources practices, the development of employee participation in company decisions, training, promotions and career perspectives and, to a lesser extent, performance evaluation.To conclude this work, theoretical, methodological and managerial contributions are presented, as well as future research paths.

Servant Leaders' Use of High Performance Work Practices and Corporate Social PerformancePreiksaitis, Michelle Kathleen Fitzgerald 01 January 2016 (has links)
Business researchers have shown that servant leaders empower, provide long-term vision, and serve their workers and followers better than do nonservant leaders. High performance work practices (HPWPs) and corporate social performance (CSP) can enhance employee and firm productivity. However, when overused or poorly managed, HPWPs and CSP can lead to the business problems of employee disengagement, overload, or anxiety. Scholars noted a gap in human resource management research regarding whether leadership styles affect HPWPs and CSP use. This study examined the relationship between leadership style and the use of HPWPs and CSP, by using a quantitative, nonexperimental design. U.S. business leaders (N = 287) completed a survey consisting of 3 previously published scales. A chi-square analysis calculated the servant to nonservant leader ratio in the population, finding a disproportionate ratio (1:40) of servant (n = 7) to nonservant (n = 280) leaders. Two t tests showed that no significant difference existed in how servant and nonservant leaders use HPWPs or CSP. However, a multiple linear regression model showed that a leader's self-reported characteristics of empowerment, vision, or service positively predicted CSP use; empowerment positively predicted HPWPs use; service negatively predicted HPWPs use; and vision had no effect on HPWPs use. Findings may help human resource practitioners identify leaders who use HPWPs or CSP differently. Positive social change may occur by hiring more visionary, empowering, or service-oriented leaders who can support overwhelmed or anxious workers, potentially leading to more engaged and productive workers, and an increase in the use of positive CSP.

Les pratiques de gestion à haute performance et l'épuisement émotionnelRegistre, Jean Frantz Ricardeau 12 1900 (has links)
Ce mémoire a pour objectif d’explorer l’effet indirect des pratiques de gestion à haute performance sur l’épuisement émotionnel. Les ressources du travail (latitude décisionnelle et soutien social des superviseurs) et les demandes du travail (demandes psychologiques et heures hebdomadaires travaillées) sont envisagées comme mécanismes de médiation dans cette relation. La théorie des demandes-ressources du travail (Demerouti, Bakker, Nachreiner et Schaufeli, 2001) qui est en toile de fond de ce travail est bonifiée par l’ajout d’un construit de niveau groupal dans l’explication de l’épuisement émotionnel. Aussi, cette étude vise à tester deux perspectives antagonistes sur l’effet des pratiques de gestion à haute performance sur la santé au travail. Les données à la base de cette étude proviennent de l’étude SALVEO réalisée, entre 2009 et 2012, par l’Équipe de recherche sur le travail et la santé mentale (ERTSM). Au total, 1961 employés répartis dans 89 groupes d’employés de 60 établissements ont été sondés sur leur niveau perçu de latitude décisionnelle, du soutien social des superviseurs, de demandes psychologiques, d’heures hebdomadaires travaillées et d’épuisement émotionnel. Les gestionnaires de ces établissements ont été sondés sur la mise en place des pratiques de gestion à haute performance. Pour tester les hypothèses, des analyses descriptives, bivariées et des analyses de cheminement de la causalité multiniveaux ont été réalisées. Les résultats suggèrent que les ressources du travail contribuent à réduire l’épuisement émotionnel alors que les demandes psychologiques contribuent à l’augmenter. Les résultats rejettent la perspective pluraliste et confirment l’approche unitariste en soutenant que certaines pratiques de gestion à haute performance telles que la rémunération variable et la participation à la prise de décision sont associées à moins d’épuisement émotionnel en procurant plus de ressources aux individus. D’autres comme la dotation sont aussi associées à moins d’épuisement émotionnel en réduisant les demandes psychologiques. Par ailleurs, cette étude ne confirme pas que la combinaison des pratiques de gestion à haute performance avait plus d’effet sur les individus que les pratiques prises de manière individuelle. Les résultats mettent en lumière toute l’importance de la poursuite des études portant sur l’association entre la gestion des ressources humaines et la santé au travail. / This thesis aims to explore the indirect effect of high-performance work practices on emotional exhaustion. Job resources (job control and supervisors social support) and job demands (psychological demands and work hours) are theorized as mediation mechanisms in this relationship. Job demands-resources theory (Demerouti et.al, 2001) in background of this work is enhanced by the addition of a group-level construct in the explanation of emotional exhaustion. Therefore, this study aims to test two antagonistic perspectives on the effect of high-performance work practices on occupational health. The data for this study is from the SALVEO study conducted between 2009 and 2012 by the Équipe de recherche sur le travail et la santé mentale (ERTSM). A total of 1,961 employees in 89 employee groups nested in 60 workplaces were surveyed on their perceived level of job control, supervisor social support, psychological demands, work hours and emotional exhaustion. The line managers were surveyed on the implementation of high-performance work practices. To test hypotheses, descriptive analysis, bivariate analysis, and multilevel path analysis were performed. Results suggest that job resources reduce emotional exhaustion whereas psychological demands increase it. The finding further reject the pluralist perspective and confirm the unitarist approach by arguing that some high-performance management practices such as compensation and participation in decision-making are associated with less emotional exhaustion by providing more job resources to individuals. Others like staffing are also associated with less emotional exhaustion by reducing jobs demands. Moreover, we did not find evidence that combination of high-performance management practices had more effect on individuals than individual practices. Results highlight the importance of continuing studies on the association between human resources management and occupational health.
