Abstract: This paper reviews the empirical studies on high-performance work systems (HPWSs) in the context of Mainland China at different levels of analysis, published in leading English- and Chinese-language journals in the relevant field between 2008 and 2018. In particular, we examine the factors that have affected the adoption of HPWSs in Chinese organizations and study the specific characteristics of Chinese HPWSs. We explore the nature and direction of the HPWSs-performance relationship as well as the underlying mechanism for the relationship in Chinese organizations. We present a research agenda for future directions in theoretical development, context, characteristics, and methodology. Theoretical and practical implications are also discussed.
