Introduction• <strong>High</strong>-<strong>Performance</strong> <strong>Work</strong> <strong>Practices</strong>(HPWPs)– Personnel practices associated withimproved organizational performance– Mutually reinforcing HR systems (or‘bundles’) are likely to have greater impact
Introduction• Considerable body of ‘more is better’research from other industries• Much less research available on whichpractices work best, in which types oforganizations, and under what conditions
Our Study• A systematic review, to identify the results withthe greatest relevance to healthcare organizations• Research questions:– What evidence is there that HPWPs can benefithealthcare organizations?– Which HPWPs / bundles appear to have the greatestpotential for benefit?– What are the mechanisms through which HPWPs havepositive effects?
Method: Literature ScanSources• Research journals– U.S., Europe, Australia– Other developed countries• Industry/trade associations– SHRM Foundation – research archives– University Healthsystems Consortium– Advisory Board• Government publications– VA system, NHS, Other (e.g., military leadership)
