Organizational Achievement Values, High-Involvement Work Practices, And Business Unit Performance

This study examines the relationships among organizational achievement values, high-involvement work practices (HIWP), and business unit performance. Specifically, we examine whether HIWP mediate or moderate the effect of achievement values on retail store performance. Using data collected at three points in time from more than 1,000 employees, we found support for the mediation model. The article concludes with directions for future research and implications for management practice. (C) 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
