摘要:It is common-knowledge that proliferation of well-oiled and well-off firms, the firms with competitive advantage and enhanced performance, would metamorphose in to enhanced and better national socio-economic development. Likewise, the context within which organizations operate can precipitate success or failure of such organizations. These, coupled with the fact that new streams of research have identified strategic human resource management as a basis for competitive advantage (Bamberger & Meshoulam, 2000), enhanced performance (Seidu, 2011) and the attendant nation’s development (Bida, Abdul-Halim & Ismail, 2016), underscore the need for a context-specific and SHRM-based research model that would explicate robust contributory role played by high-performance work system (HPWS) in guaranteeing firms’ competitive advantage and enhancing optimal firm performance.
