Abstract
High Performance Work Practices (HPWPs) has come out to limelight with growing emphasis on human aspect of the work in
addition to concern for productivity or profitability, in this background employees’ perception have been found to have a major impact on the
success of a practice. Because HPWPs are concerned with human aspect of the work thus they are considered as a tool of value creation and
value enhancement for the organisation. The present paper attempts to access the employees’ perception regarding availability of the HPWPs.
In all, 35 dimensions of HPWPs were identified by the researchers and the perception was assessed on five point scale. Here employees’
perception comes out to be in ‘Fairly Effective’ category of five-point rating scale. The categorization of HPWPs has been done by applying
factor analysis and the variations in employees’ perception have been studied by applying t-test. Factorial design has been used to discuss
interaction effect of more than two variables like that of gender, sector, nature of organisation etc.
