Impact of social innovations on French companies’ performance: A study of high‐involvement practices

This paper studies the relationship between HR practices and firm performance. In that purpose, a list of high‐involvement practices – that is to say aiming to develop employees’ organizational commitment and involvement at work – is proposed. A survey among 180 French HR managers hightlights a significant link between most HR practices and firm performance. Moreover, the results show that these practices, when they are combined into bundles, have a stronger impact on performance than when they are studied individually.
