2 High - Performance Work Systems , Dynamic Workforce Alignment , and Firm Performance
نویسندگان
چکیده
There has been growing interest in demonstrating that high-performance work systems contribute to firm performance, yet limited research attention has been paid to the workforce attributes that mediate the relationship, particularly under changing workforce conditions. In this study, I examine the extent to which, and the conditions under which, workforce alignment positively affects firm performance. Results from a study of 196 small businesses indicate that workforce alignment mediates the relationship between high-performance work system use and sales growth. Findings further suggest that firms that attain dynamic workforce alignment grow faster than firms that attain workforce alignment under stable workforce conditions.
