Summary: Most companies in China are gradually focus on implementing high performance work systems (HPWS) to enhance the organizational performance and productivity. These practices are accepted to be universally effective into retaining employees but in fact their nature is targeting motivations that are not homogeneous across age and life stages. The opportunity to explore the differential effectiveness of HPWS is a research gap that deserves attention. This study seeks to analyze the impact of HPWS on employee retention testing for the moderation effect of employee age. With a sample of 236 workers from several industries in China, findings show HPWS are more effective in the younger working population in China when compared to the older one. Findings are discussed at the light of theory and implications for HRM explored.

Estas práticas são aceites como sendo universalmente eficazes na retenção de trabalhadores mas, de facto, a sua natureza está ligada a motivações que variam ao longo da idade e da fase de vida. A oportunidade para explorar a eficácia diferencial dos STED é uma lacuna de investigação que merece atenção. Este estudo procura analisar o impacto dos STED na retenção dos trabalhadores testando o efeito moderador da idade dos trabalhadores. Com uma amostra de 236 trabalhadores de vários sectores económicos na China, os resultados mostraram que a HPWS são mais eficazes na população trabalhadora jovem quando comparados com os mais velhos. Os resultados são discutidos à luz da teoria e as implicações para a GRH exploradas.2021-02-05T15:38:25Z2021-01-29T00:00:00Z2021-01-292020-11info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/21948TID:202609626engLi Yixianinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAP2024-10-13T01:18:59Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/21948Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T18:27:50.317848Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
