摘要:

基于53篇文献的55项独立研究、研究样本总人数达51750的数据, 对高绩效工作系统与员工幸福感的关系进行了元分析, 并检验了文化和行业差异对二者关系的调节作用。结果表明: (1)高绩效工作系统对员工幸福感各维度均存在显著的正向作用, 即具有“一致效应”, 而非“矛盾效应”。(2)文化情境调节了高绩效工作系统与员工幸福感的关系, 在高权力距离和集体主义文化情境下, 员工感知的高绩效工作系统与主观幸福感、心理幸福感、健康幸福感的正相关更强。(3)行业对高绩效工作系统与员工幸福感的关系具有显著的调节作用。相比生产性服务业, 医疗服务业员工感知的高绩效工作系统与主观幸福感的正相关更强; 但医疗服务业员工感知的高绩效工作系统与健康幸福感的正相关低于生产性服务业。研究结论有助于全面理解高绩效工作系统与员工幸福感的关系, 启示学界重新认识和审视高绩效工作系统的价值。

Abstract:

With the rise of employee-centered human resource practices in the last two decades, the relationship between high-performance work systems and employee well-being has become an important topic in human resource management research. However, to date, research findings on the relationship between high-performing work systems and employee well-being remain divergent. The reasons are, firstly, the existing studies on the relationship between high-performance work systems and employee well-being mainly focus on some dimensions and indicators, ignoring the multidimensional nature of employee well-being; secondly, the conclusions on the specific strength and direction of the correlation between high-performance work systems and specific dimensions of employee well-being are inconsistent and require systematic and in-depth analysis; thirdly, the existing studies ignore the context in which high-performance work systems affect employee well-being variables, i.e., the boundary conditions of the relationship between the two, especially the role of cultural context and industry differences.

Based on 55 independent studies from 53 papers with a total study sample of 51,750, this paper conducted a meta-analysis of the relationship between high performance work systems and employee well-being (subjective well-being, psychological well-being, relational well-being, and health well-being) and examined the moderating effects of cultural differences (power distance, individual-collectivism, and short-term-long-term orientation) and industry differences on the relationship. The results indicate that: (1) there is a significant positive effect of high performance work systems on all dimensions of employee well-being. (2) Cultural contexts moderated the relationship between high performance work systems and employee well-being, and the positive correlations between employees' perceived high performance work systems and subjective well-being, psychological well-being, and health well-being were stronger in high power distance and collectivist-oriented cultural contexts. (3) Industry has a significant moderating effect on the relationship between high-performing work systems and employee well-being. Compared with the production service industry, the positive correlation between perceived high performance work system and subjective well-being was stronger for employees in the health care service industry; however, the positive correlation between perceived high performance work system and health well-being was lower for employees in the health care service industry than in the production service industry.

The theoretical contributions of this study lies in: First, the relationship between high performance work system and employee well-being dimensions was clarified and found to have a “consistent effect” rather than a “contradictory effect”. Secondly, it was found that high performance work system has a positive effect on health well-being rather than a negative effect. Finally, the research results on the boundary conditions of the relationship between high-performing work systems and employee well-being were expanded, and the cross-cultural and industry research results on the relationship between the two were enriched. The findings contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between high-performing work systems and employee well-being, and enlighten the academic community to re-conceptualize and re-examine the value of high-performing work systems.
