An Empirical Investigation of Sub Dimensions of High Performance Work Systems that Predict Organizational Innovation

Driven by calls for empirical research, this paper aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the specific sub-dimensions of high performance work systems (HPWS) that drive organizational innovation. To this end, data were gathered from a sample of 240 motel establishments in the USA. In sum, the paper found empirical evidence indicating that only two out of three sub-dimensions of HPWS predicted organizational innovation. Specifically, these two sub-dimensions relate to "Administrative HR" practices and "Merit-Based HR Evaluation" sub-dimensions. Finally, the academic and managerial significance of the study's outcome are presented
