“ one standard deviation improvement in the human resources system was associated with an increase in shareholder wealth of $41,000 per employee” (Huselid, 1995, p.39 in Pfeffer & Veiga, 1999)
–>I f you organise all your systems well per employee you can improve business performance
Why? Best practices! An example (Pfeffer, 1998)
The following best practices are critical for high performance work systems:
- Employment security
- Selective hiring
- Self-managed teams or teamworking
- High pay contingent on company performance
- Extensive training
- Reduction of status differences
- Sharing information
Position of pfeffer:
you should have best practices; if you do the above well then you can gain competitive advantage.
General idea of best practices:
- Organizations should adopt ‘best practice’ irrespective of the context
- Lists of best practices and if you do them well you can gain competitive adv.
- Drawn from research on selection, training, appraisal and pay
Criticism of best practice:
- Lists vary significantly per what companies define as best practices? There is no universal set of best practice context driven.
- What goals are being served? Viability or sustained advantage?
- Whose goals are being served? It has to fit with strategy and balance with both shareholders’ and employees’ needs.
