Abstract
The People Management and Innovation survey reports findings from 165 of the top performing organisations in Ireland. The picture that emerges from the analysis suggests a moderate to low take-up of a full-blown High Performance Work System model; a finding that is similar to other comparable international studies showing the low overall incidence of strategic bundles of HRM (Blasi and Kruse 2006; Kersely et al, 2006). Nonetheless, we find support for the argument that High Performance Work Systems (HPWS) impact positively upon a number of performance outcomes i.e. organisational performance, HR performance, employee effort and innovation
