The Implementation and Long-Term Sustainability of High-Performance Work Systems: A Literature Review

Abstract

The implementation and long-term sustainability of high-performance work systems (HPWS) are both examined in this review of the literature. The review emphasizes the value of taking multiple factors into account, including leadership, organizational culture, continuous improvement, employee engagement, and sustainability from HPWS's point of view. In addition, it examines the difficulties organizations face in preserving HPWS over time and how these difficulties can be solved for long-term viability. Researchers interested in understanding the implementation and upkeep of these systems as well as managers and practitioners seeking to implement HPWS in their organizations may find the review to be a valuable resource. More studies are required to improve the comprehension of the long-term sustainability of HPWS since there has not been much research conducted in this area. Moreover, it has been noted from the review that the majority of the studies have been carried out in the context of large organizations, and more research is required to examine the long-term sustainability of HPWS in various business sectors.
