Dear colleagues:
We are conducting a meta-analysis relating to the high performance work system-business performance relationship. We would greatly appreciate your help in locating unpublished manuscripts, working papers, conference papers, dissertations, and papers in press to include in our analysis.
We are searching for any unpublished work that empirically examines the relationship between high performance work systems (HPWSs)/HR systems and plant-level or firm-level financial or operational organizational performance. More specifically, any unpublished work would be relevant if it::
(1) measures the use of a HPWS or HR system or examines the impact of an additive or multiplicative index of high performance work practices (HPWPs)/HR practices AND
(2) measures either financial or operational performance at either the plant-/establishment-/facility-level or firm-/organizational-level AND
(3) reports effect size estimates between the above measures/variables.
Please send any unpublished manuscripts (including descriptives, correlation matrix, reliability coefficients, details of measures of independent and dependent variables, and sample characteristics) that you think could possibly meet the above criteria to tanja.rabl@uni-bayreuth.de preferably before April 2nd. Your work will be a valuable contribution to our meta-analysis and will be cited in our paper. Many thanks in advance for your assistance.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Best regards,
Tanja
