Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between High-Performance Work Systems (HPWS) practices (recruitment and selection, training and development and performance appraisal) and employee performance at individual level of analysis. The objective of the research is also to explore the mediating effect of employee work motivation on the relationship between HPWS practices and employee performance. Data were collected through questionnaire from 344 support staffs of Public Universities in Sabah who participated in this study. The hypotheses were tested using SmartPLS 3.0 analysis. Findings indicate that training and development significantly influence employee performance directly. Findings also indicate that recruitment and selection and performance appraisal have indirect positive effect on employee performance through employee motivation as a mediator. Statistical results show among the independent variables involved, training and development practice is the most significant predictor of employee performance. The result also revealed that employee motivation has strong influence to employee performance. It was also found that employee motivation mediates the relationship between High- Performance Work System Practices (recruitment and selection and performance appraisal) and employee performance.
