Spanish lessons on developing employee commitment and empowerment-driven strategies: Investing in consistency through integrated high-performance work systems

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.

Design/methodology/approach

This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

This research paper explores the potential of HR management practices to integrate into an organization-wide high-performance work system (HPWS) as a route to achieving greater organizational performance. Based on the views of respondents from Spain’s manufacturing sector, boosting the affective commitment and empowerment of employees in the presence of a HPWS inspires them to elevate their performance. One way of achieving this is for managers to give their team members more autonomy. Applying HR best practices across selection, training, performance appraisal, and compensation activity is a crucial step in laying a foundation that is linked to the organization’s overall strategic goals.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
