Unravelling the Symphony of High-Performance Work Systems from Commitment to Satisfaction, Readiness for Change, and Beyond

Abstract

Exploring the intricate landscape of organizational behavior, this study untangles HPWS dynamics in terms of commitment, satisfaction, readiness for change and performance. A rigorous quantitative method was used in this research that relied on data drawn from 290 HR professionals and middle to lower-management employees of different industries such as Pharma, IT, Retail and Banking. Our results tell a complex story that shows how HPWS affects Effective Commitment and Job Satisfaction. Interestingly, Effective Commitment proves to be the mediator which influences the HPWS-Readiness for Change relationship. As organizational landscapes continue to change, the study not only fills some of the gaps that we have in present-day research but also can be considered as a standard for upcoming research. The study provides a strategic perspective for managers, policymakers and HR practitioners as the resulting study depicts how HPWS arranges an orchestra of organizational success which alludes to fine-tuning in creating commitment, satisfaction, and adaptive readiness dynamics.
