20 38 In implementing high-performance work systems, successful companies rely on incremental changes to let employees get up to speed REF: page page The top-down approach to work system implementation ensures employee acceptance and commitment REF: page HR managers typically own responsibility for the implementation of high-performance work systems REF: page HR managers can be invaluable partners to line managers during change efforts REF: page High-performance work systems need to be periodically evaluated in terms of organizational priorities and initiatives REF: page Even if employees are underutilized, organizations can still operate at full performance REF: page Application 44 Skills, knowledge, and abilities that are not equally available to all organizations are known as rare REF: page Employee skills, knowledge, and abilities that are not equally available to all organizations are difficult to imitate REF: page High-performance work systems are relatively easy to copy by competitors REF: page Application 47 The use of high-performance work systems is typically valuable only to larger organizations REF: page OBJ: 6 48 The philosophies, principles, and techniques that underlie high-performance work systems are also applicable to small and medium-sized organizations REF: page OBJ: 6 49 Small-sized employers often have difficulty implementing high-performance work systems 20 Copyright 2011 by Nelson Education Ltd
21 REF: page OBJ: 6 ESSAY 1 What are the fundamental principles of high-performance work systems? ANS: There are four fundamental principles that support high-performance work systems First, the principle of shared information suggests that in today s rapidly changing environment, because organizations must rely on the expertise and initiative of employees, it is imperative that these employees are provided with timely and accurate information about business performance, plans, and strategies Second, the principle of knowledge development underscores the notion that because the nature of competition continues to change, employees knowledge and skills must also change As a result, employees need to learn continuously to support the organization s needs Third, the principle of performance-reward linkages suggests that aligning employee intentions and behaviours with the needs of the firm can help ensure that employees engage in activities that are mutually beneficial to themselves and the organization Fourth, the principle of egalitarianism supports the need to break down status and power barriers with high-performance work systems By decreasing these barriers, employees can become more involved in their work, and organizational performance is improved while the quality of work life is simultaneously increased REF: page 16-2 page 16-6 BLM: Analyze 2 Describe how the components of the work system fit together and support strategy ANS: The individual pieces of high-performance work systems are important only in terms of how they help the entire system function There are essentially two types of fit that must be achieved to reach synergistic results First, managers must ensure that internal fit is achieved This occurs when all the internal elements of the work system (ie, selection, training, compensation, and performance evaluation practices) complement and reinforce one another For example, if a new compensation system elicits and reinforces behaviours that are directly opposed to the goals emphasized in the performance evaluation system, the two components would be working at cross-purposes In addition to internal fit, external fit is critical as well External fit is achieved when the highperformance work systems support the organization s goals and strategies To reach this fit, managers must analyze the competitive challenges, organizational values, and concerns of employees to develop a statement of the strategies pursued by the organization Once these strategies are determined, the practices that will support these goals are identified and implemented For example, organizations focusing on cost containment may choose to rely on training practices that increase employee efficiency REF: page page Copyright 2011 by Nelson Education Ltd 21 OBJ: 3 BLM: Analyze
