Abstract: In recent times, several researchers have concerned themselves with the impact of human resource activities on an organization's bottom-line. In this connection, it has been argued that implementing high performance work systems (HPWSs) in the organization would help organizations achieve significantly improved levels of operational and financial performance through optimal utilization of human resources. This empirical study tests these assertions, and results confirm that, indeed, HR practices can have a significant impact on the bottom-line.
