    High performance work system and work engagement
    (University of Management and Technology, 2016) Hussain, Freeha
    The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between high performance work system (HPWS), self-efficacy and work engagement. Based on job-demand resources theory, four hypotheses were proposed to examine the relationship between HPWS and work engagement, HPWS and self-efficacy, self-efficacy and work engagement and the mediating effect of self-efficacy in the relationship between HPWS and work engagement. In order to test these hypotheses, cross sectional research design was used and the data were collected through self-administered questionnaires using a sample of 268 employees of five business organisations located in Lahore, Pakistan. Results of the study confirmed hypothesized model and showed that self-efficacy partially mediated the relationship between HPWS and work engagement. The study concluded that HPWS acts as a job resource and helps in enhancing self-efficacy to further promote work engagement of employees. The theoretical and practical implications of the study are also discussed.
