Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of High performance work system (HPWS) on employees’ work well-being. Through the review of existing literature and empirical analysis, the study found that the implementation of HPWS significantly improved employees’ work happiness. HPWS mainly includes key elements such as job design, training, information sharing and salary. The synergistic effect of these elements not only enhances the professional skills and work efficiency of employees, but also stimulates the work enthusiasm and satisfaction of employees, thus enhancing the happiness of employees at work. In this study, questionnaire survey was used to collect employee data from enterprises of different sizes in the manufacturing industry, and statistical software SPSS28.0 was used for data analysis. The results show that job satisfaction, organizational commitment, mental health and other aspects are positively correlated with employees’ work happiness. This shows that the implementation of HPWS contributes to the construction of a positive work environment, and enhances the sense of belonging and job satisfaction of employees, thus improving the work happiness of employees. This study not only enriches the theoretical understanding of the relationship between HPWS and employee happiness at work, but also provides a useful reference for enterprise management practice. By constructing and implementing HPWS, enterprises should pay attention to the needs and expectations of employees, and provide employees with more development opportunities and support, so as to enhance the happiness of employees at work and promote the sustainable development of enterprises.
