摘要：Theoretical models of the human resource management (HRM) systems – performance relationship suggest that it takes time for organizations to design and implement HRM systems, which also need time to influence employee and firm performance. However, the temporal dynamics of the relationship between HRM systems and performance outcomes has received little attention. The lack of theoretical guidance and empirical evidence about such dynamic processes makes it difficult to draw rigorous conclusions about the causal relationship between HRM systems and performance outcomes and to understand how the effects of HRM systems unfold over time. This study aims to address this research need by theorizing and examining the influence of the implementation of high-performance work teams (HPWTs) on operational performance over time. We draw upon team development and adaptation literature and organizational change literature to propose a two-phase adaptation model whereby the growth rates of performance outcomes initially decline after the implementation of HPWTs and later increase and become higher than the rates before implementation. Over a four-year period, a field quasi-experiment was conducted in 20 plants producing automation and control equipment for a Fortune 500 firm and collected monthly data regarding plant-level labor productivity and inventory turnover before and after the implementation of HPWTs. Results based on piecewise growth modeling indicate that conversion to HPWTs may first reduce the growth rates of the two performance outcomes, and then increase the growth rates as expected. The findings indicate that HPWTs dynamically affect performance outcomes, but organizations and employees must first adapt to changes brought about by the implementation of HPWTs.
