Abstract
Integrating the Ability-Motivation-Opportunity model in human resource management with the eclectic paradigm in international business research, we examine the role of country-level human capital development in the high-performance work systems (HPWS) and organizational performance (OP) association. We posit that there is a substitution relationship between country-level human capital development and organization-level HPWS in shaping OP. HPWS generates a stronger effect on OP in countries with a lower level of human capital development and thus a greater need for HPWS to boost performance. Training & development plays a key role in turning human capital available in a country into talent resources useful in an organization, thereby strengthening the HPWS-OP association. This role is stronger in countries with a lower level of human capital development. We conduct meta-analyses of 56,868 business entities from 20 countries/regions in 232 samples from 1994 to April 2024, and find evidence to support our arguments.
