Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the impacts of High-performance work practices (H-PWPs) on employees’ job experiences and psychological outcomes. Survey of literature on High-Performance work systems suggested that HPWS envisages a ‘win-lose’ situation for employers and employees, respectively, and the competitive advantages are gained at the cost of individual employee. Thus, the study aimed at examining the effects of work-intensification perceived by employees engaged in organizations implementing HighPerformance work culture on their psychological well-being.The study was conducted on 154 employees of managerial level randomly selected from Private sector Banks in UP, India. Psychometrically standardized tool were administered to assess the extent of work intensification, occupational stress and psychological well-being. Findings revealed that implementation of HPWPs have positive significant correlationwith work-intensification and occupational stress which further correlates with employees’ psychological ill-health.Further statistical analysis of data obtained revealed that there was a significant difference in degree of perceived occupational stress of male and female employees.The results throw light on the darker side of High-Performance Work Practices, which suggest that High Performance culture is being fostered on the expense of well-being of the employees.
