Abstract

Using a sample of bank employees in Jordan, this study seeks to analyse how high performance human resource management practices and organizational commitment impact employees readiness for change. We also seek to study the role of readiness for change in improving employee performance. The results demonstrate a positive association between some high performance Human resource management practices and both affective commitment and readiness for change. Results also show a positive relationship between affective commitment and readiness for change. We have also found that readiness for change positively influences employees individual performance. Hierarchy culture moderates the relation of high performance HRM practices with affective commitment
