This study discusses
qualitative research to profoundly understand South Asia's high-performance
work systems (HPWS) development based on the Ability, Motivation, and
Opportunities (AMO) model. Further, this study classifies three distinctive
types of human resource (HR) practices — Takeuchi et al. (2007), Sun et al.
(2007), and Chuang and Liao (2010) — into different sets of HR practices.
Obtaining the conceptual concepts from the HPWS literature, this study tries to
enhance our understanding by acquiring realistic ideas to propose a conceptual
model involving several open questions that may provide scholars and
practitioners more insights into understanding what HR practices constitute
South Asia HPWS.
