The Multilevel Effects of High Performance Human Resource Practices on Occupational Well-being in China's Context

Abstract

Abstract:

Based on the perspective of China's management context and work characteristics, this study employs multilevel structural e-quation modeling in investigating the multilevel effects of organizational high performance human resource practices on employees' occu-pational well-being and the mediating role of job demands-resources model.With a survey of 50 HR managers and 385 employees from 50 companies in Hunan and Guangdong province, the results show that control-based human resource practices are negatively related to em-ployees' occupational well-being, while commitment-based human resource practices are positively related to employees' occupational well-being.Furthermore, challenge demands, hindrance demands, job autonomy and supervisor support all mediate the relationship be-tween control-based human resource practices and employees' occupational well-being, but only challenge demands, job autonomy and supervisor support mediate the relationship between commitment-based human resource practices and employee's occupational well-be-ing.

Key words: control-based human resource practices, commitment-based human resource practices, challenge demands, hindrance de-mands, job autonomy, supervisor support, occupational well-being
