Abstract: The purpose of this research paper is to identify factors for resolving the paradox between well-being at work and corporate performance. The study approach, based on high-performance work practices, provides a way to resolve this paradox. Using a questionnaire sent to 1500 companies, this research analyses how highperformance human resources practices impact well-being at work on the one hand and corporate performance on the other hand, through the perceptions of HR professionals. Thus, certain HR practices (career planning, participation in decision-making, extensive training, reduction in status distinction) appear to be virtuous. The originality of this contribution is to identify the human resource practices that could make it possible to combine well-being at work and corporate performance.
