Abstract: Based on the data of 347 Japanese firms, we clarified the relationships between employee grading principles and firm performance. In analysis, we especially focused on the complementary relationship between employee grading principles and some characteristics of human resource department, such as power and the information capabilities concerning front lines held. The relationship between merit-based grading principle and productivity becomes more positive, as the power concerning HRM activities is centralized on HR department. To ease the negative relationship between job-based grading principle and productivity by the decentralization of power, HR departments must accumulate and utilize information about front line abundantly., 社員格付原理―特に能力主義と職務主義―と組織パフォーマンスの関係性について検討した。能力主義と労働生産性の関係は，人事権限が人事部門に集中するほど肯定的になる。職務主義と労働生産性の否定的な関係は人事権限をライン管理職に移譲することで緩和されることがあるが，それは人事部門が職場や従業員についての豊かな情報を持つことで実現する。ライン管理職は全社最適的な人事管理の積極的にリードする可能性が示された。
