For example, a British study by Wood and de Menezes (1998) that uses latent variable analysis to search for identifiable patterns in the use of 23 high-performance practices, and is able to identify a progression of what it calls high-commitment management (high HCM, medium-low HCM, low-medium HCM, and low HCM), reaches rather sobering conclusions.
Similarly to these authors, we argue that this organisational change may improve productivity by enhancing some of the practices that have been signalised as high performance management practices [21].
They stated that HR practices that should be adopted in HRM systems incorporate high performance work practices found to have had a positive effect on performance in other sectors (the so-called best practices) without derogating the specific health care context.
Furthermore, Huselid (1995) and Pfeffer (1998) state that the existence of and positive relations with unions suit other high performance work practices.
'Effective dissemination of policy and processes' by human resource management (HRM) has been suggested as pivotal to the implementation of high performance work practices at the front line [ 68].
Based on an analysis of data from 968 US companies he reported that the implementation of the "High Performance Work Practices" led to "better firm performance" – a relative 7% decrease in staff turnover, USD 27,000 more sales per employee, USD 18,600 per employee increase in market value and USD 3,800 per employee more in profits.
Through the questionnaire survey of 400 employees and their leaders in 87 enterprises, the influence of high performance human resource practices (HPHRP) on employees' work performance is verified.
Chemometric approaches have been increasingly viewed as precious complements to high performance liquid chromatographic practices, since a large number of variables can be simultaneously controlled to achieve the desired separations.
This will stimulate practices with a high performance as well as practices with a low performance [ 1].
In contrast, giving feedback, displaying a professional attitude and creating a positive learning climate are all qualities crucial for the high performance of every practicing physician and so need to be transferred from the teaching environment into future practice.
We did not detect any improvement in their performance during the trial and therefore do not believe that contamination between trial groups through learning effects is the explanation for the high performance in the best practice group.
