High Performance Work System

Question: Identify the type of quantitative research design used and explain how the researchers implemented the design. Answer: In this essay, the research hypotheses implies to the positive impact of the high performance work system (HPWS) on professional service Supply Chain Performance in an organisation. Along with this, the hypotheses have also agreed with the impact of HPWS on formation of team, linking between the professional service Supply Chain Performance and overall performance of the organisation (Fowler, 2013). Therefore, the hypotheses has been aligned properly with the research purpose, which has aimed to study better understanding of the influence of HPWS on organisational performance. Therefore, in the first step the research has focused to analyse the research question whether supply chain performance helps to professional service firms to use the supply chain management. In the second part, the research has explored how the high performance work system has influenced professional service. In this research, the data collection process has followed the quantitative technique and surveyed in 93 accounting firms at two-time point. In the first time, the survey questions were on the team formation and utilization of HPWS on the overall supply chain performance from the managers and HR directors in Ireland. On the other hand, the second part of the survey has been conducted one year later to measure the performance result. As the purpose of this research is to find out the effectiveness of the implementation of HPWS in an organisation, therefore, the research has to be conducted within a time span to analyse the improvements of performance levels (Bryman Bell, 2015). The quantitative research survey is aligned properly with the research topic to support the hypotheses. In this study, the research purpose is derived after analysing the problem regarding improving the organisational performance through implementation of HPWS. Therefore, the quantitative survey technique has been considered as research design and hierarchical regression as analysis process to support the hypotheses, which has been developed after setting the purpose.
