Abstract

The current economical background raises the challenge for an enhanced level of performance among the companies. Various studies present in the specialised literature have proven that the human resources management practices deployed by the companies have a positive influence on the organizational level of performance. These practices were identified as high performance work practices. This paper intends to investigate the presence of the high performance working practices in case of Romanian companies, using the results provided by an empirical study. The analysis aimed to establish the level of development of such practices in the studied organizations. Another objective was to determine the potential correlation between these practices and the size/specific economic sector of the studied companies.
