High Performance Work Practices (HPWPs) has come out to limelight with growing emphasis on human aspect of the work in addition to concern for productivity or profitability, in this background employees' perception have been found to have a major impact on the success of a practice. Because HPWPs are concerned with human aspect of the work thus they are considered as a tool of value creation and value enhancement for the organisation. The present paper attempts to access the employees' perception regarding availability of the HPWPs. In all, 35 dimensions of HPWPs were identified by the researchers and the perception was assessed on five point scale. Here employees' perception comes out to be in 'Fairly Effective' category of five-point rating scale. The categorization of HPWPs has been done by applying factor analysis and the variations in employees' perception have been studied by applying t-test. Factorial design has been used to discuss interaction effect of more than two variables like that of gender, sector, nature of organisation etc.

Human Resources is considered as most valuable asset for any organisation. In this age of information and technology, it has become imperative to manage data related to human resource. In this background, Human Resource Management System has come to limelight. The present paper provides perceptual understanding of Human Resource Information System in Indian organisations. Paper successfully highlights poor awareness and availability of HRIS in Indian scenario. Further, hypotheses and cross tabulation of data provides in-depth understanding of variations based on gender, sector and nature of organisations. And lastly, scopes for future researches have also been discussed.Keywords

In this world obsessed with performance excellence, High Performance Work Practices has acquired a salutary distinction. High Performance Work System is a blend of theoretical models and practical approaches backed up with 'how, why, what and when to plan' for the organization. It is regarded as a totally win-win approach where employees and employers gain by simply modifying some of the existing procedures, mechanisms and systems. Thus in this light it is interesting to discuss the employees' perception regarding awareness, availability and effectiveness of HPWPs among manufacturing and service organisations. Here Hypothesis testing concluded significant perceptual differences in all three levels among two different type of organisation. Further segmentation of 35 HPWPs has been done using factor analysis and T-test has highlighted significance of differences in perception of employees for extracted factors among manufacturing and service organizations.Keywords

High Performance Work Practices (HPWPs) has evolved as a pivotal paradigm of performance excellence. These practices are applied in bundles to accrue complementary benefits associated with each practices. Literature suggests that success of any system relies on various employee related factors. The present paper highlights variations among employees' awareness and perception for HPWPs based on individual characteristics like gender, sex, experience etc. Differences in employees' awareness and perception could arise owing to different inbuilt mechanism to filter external information. Presently as many as thirty-five HPWPs have been considered. Factor analysis reduces 35 practices into nine factors. It is observed that employees' awareness varies significantly across age, experience and educational qualification of the employees. However employees' awareness is observed to gender neutral. Further employees' perception is reported to vary significantly across all four individual characteristic taken in the study i.e. gender, age, experience and educational qualification of the employees. Further nine extracted factors are subjected to test of variance across various variables of individual differences. Lastly paper gives a glimpse of practical utility of the findings and a brief description of future research scope is also given herewith.Keywords

Employees' perception and their willingness to adapt new work system have significant effect on success of High Performance Work System. Differences in employees' perception could arise because different people have different inbuilt mechanism to filter external information. This paper highlights that the employees' perception for effectiveness of HPWPs lies in 'Effective' category of five point rating scale. Further 35 dimensions of HPWPs have been subjected to factor analysis to highlight broader paradigm into limelight. These factors are subjected to gender and sector based perceptual variation test.Keywords
