Abstract：With the data collected from 374 employees and their immediate supervisors from 187 companies located in Beijing, we examine the direct effects of high performance human resource practices on employees’ in-role performance and organizational citizenship behavior, tests the mediating role of perceived competence in the relationship between high performance human resource practices and both in-role performance and organizational citizenship behavior. Results indicate that high performance human resource practices are positively and significantly related to employees’ perceived competence, in-role performance, and organizational citizenship behavior. Perceived competence is positively and significantly correlated with in-role performance and organizational citizenship behavior. Perceived competence partially mediates the relationships between high performance human resource practices and in-role performance and organizational citizenship behavior.
