Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of high-performance system on career success. To achieve this, questionnaire was used to collect data from sample of 358 employees from 14 business companies in Jordan. Results reveal that high-performance work system (HPWS) positively affects career success. Specifically, this study proves that both subjective and objective career success is positively related to HPWS. Furthermore, results demonstrate that training and development, performance management, and career management practices enhance career success. Implications for managers and suggestions for future research are also discussed.
Highlights
Human resource management (HRM) benefits organizations because of its positive effect on workers’ knowledge and skills, their ability and willingness to perform duties, and desire to fulfill tasks (Boxall and Macky, 2009)
With regards to career success, survey results reveal that perceived career success, objective career success, and subjective career success all scored at a moderate level; again, this signifies that employees have reservations regarding the success of their career path
Results confirm that High-Performance Work System (HPWS) practices are significantly correlated with objective career success; moderate results for Training and Development (T&D) (r=0.39, p< 0.05), Performance management and Reward (PM&R) (r=0.39, p< 0.05), Communication and involvement (C&I) (r=0.33, p< 0.05), and Career management (CM) (r=0.30, p< 0.05) respectively
Summary
Human resource management (HRM) benefits organizations because of its positive effect on workers’ knowledge and skills, their ability and willingness to perform duties, and desire to fulfill tasks (Boxall and Macky, 2009). Empirical studies support the positive effects of HPWS on performance (Boxall & Macky, 2009; Fu et al, 2015), job satisfaction and commitment (García-Chas et al, 2016), discretionary behavior (Elorza et al, 2016), employee well-being and job involvement (Huang et al, 2016), innovation (Fu et al, 2015). Career success refers to the achievement of meaningful outcomes in an individual’s work over time (Arthur et al, 2005). This success is divided into subjective or intangible factors (such as satisfaction with a chosen career) and objective or tangible factors (such as promotion) on career success (Guerrero et al, 2016)
