In order to improve our understanding of the relationships between high-performance work systems and firm performance, several studies have analysed the mediating effects of motivation-related or human capital-related variables. However, most of these have concentrated on single aspects and are US-focused. We extend previous human resource management research by simultaneously analysing the relevance of four general mediating mechanisms: human capital, employee attitudes, employee performance and operational performance. We apply structural equation modelling with formative constructs to data of 1099 German firms. While our findings support the assumption of positive relationships between high-performance work practices, the four mediating mechanisms and firm performance, they also reveal some peculiarities attributable to the German context. Using formative constructs, we were also able to show that single high-performance work practices have different effects on firm performance.

The link between high-performance work practices (HPWP) and organizational performance has often been oversimplified, and our understanding as to the mechanisms linking the two is inconclusive, and this study offers some insights by taking HPWP as perceived by employees rather than that reported by managers and proximal employee-level outcomes as intervening explanations. The study examines the influence of employee perceptions towards HPWP use on organizational performance through the mediating variable ‘affective commitment of employee (ACE)’. Data for the study were collected from employees of 30 business units administering pre-existing questionnaires. The model was tested using 2-1-2 mediation analysis (‘bathtub’) as proposed by Croon and van Veldhoven (2007) and it fits well with data. It has important theoretical contributions that perceptions of employees towards HPWP use play an important role and HPWP result in organizational performance through employee-level outcomes such as ACE, the knowledge of which may help practicing managers for getting the best from employees. However, findings of the study are subject to the limitations in that the research suffers in terms of establishing causality, namely, use of cross-sectional data and lack of experimental research design.

This research paper investigates the mediatory effect of Individually Perceived Stress in the direct relationship of high accomplishment work practices and financial performance of Firm. This research narrates different mechanisms and procedure through which work practices enhances firm performance. Cross Sectional research design is opted for data collection purpose. Data is collected from 500 employees of banking industry and analysis of data is done through Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Multiple Regression Analysis. The analysis of collected data shows that Individually Perceived Stress significantly affects the direct relationship of High-Performance Work Practices and Firm Financial Performance. Stress changes the direction of implemented practices in opposite direction due to which resultant results doesn’t match with the desired results. This paper contributes to literature by responding to the long waiting call for explaining importance of stress in high performance work practices and firm performance linkage. This paper also strengthens the literature by adding individual effect of four constructs of   High Performance Work Practices. Current research also holds important and valuable implications for governing bodies or managing authorities of institutions.
