Abstract: Human resource professionals’ effectiveness (HRPE) is widely discussed as the most significant factor within the organization to gain sustainable competitive advantage at the present time. Nonetheless, the study investigates the impact of organizational culture (OC) on HRPE in telecom sector of Pakistan. Moreover, it also examines the moderating role of high performance work system (HPWS) in above mentioned correlation. A total of 75 survey questionnaires were distributed to HR managers of telecom firms, out of which 40 HR manager responded which makes 53.3% response rate. The study has used SmartPLS 3 for the assessment of the hypothesized model. The statistical results have established the strong positive effect of OC on HRPE, however, findings reveal HPWS doesn’t moderate this relationship. The study concludes organizations with strong OC can achieve sustainable competitive advantage by augmenting HRPE, moreover, organizations have to align their HR strategies with robust HR system which can enhance HRPE. The findings of the study are of a great value to both theory and practice and have vital implications for academicians, practitioners and policy makers.
