Abstract Based on emerging theorizing in strategic human resources management, organizational climate and employee attitude, we test a model of highperformance work systems (HPWS), using data obtained from employees working in Shanghai companies. Results from statistic analyses indicate that the relationships between HPWS and employee job satisfaction are fully mediated by concern for employees’ climate. Industry is the moderator variable between HPWS, concern for employees’ climate and employee job satisfaction. And the direct effect of third industry is stronger than that of second one. These results shed new light on the mechanisms through which HPWS impacts employee outcomes and serve to bridge between macro and micro perspectives of human resource management. The research and practice implications of the findings are discussed.
