High performance work systems in emergent organizations: Implications for firm performance
研究考察高绩效工作系统（HPWS）对高科技初创企业绩效的影响，发现HPWS与销售增长和创新正相关，但员工自愿离职的中介作用未获支持。
Abstract Emerging firms are the foundation for economic growth in today's business world. Yet relatively little is known about the factors that contribute to the success or failure of developing organizations. This research study addresses this broad question by examining the role that high performance work systems (HPWS) play in the performance of high‐tech new ventures. Using the resource‐based and dynamic capability perspectives, this research project examines the links between HPWS and firm performance. Results indicate that HPWS utilization is positively associated with sales growth and innovation; however, a hypothesized mediating role for employee voluntary turn over was not supported. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
