Abstract With a survey on 491 new generation employees from 50 Chinese enterprises and based on the job demands-resources model, this study explores the role of job expectations and procedural justice in the relationship between new generation employees’ perceptions of high performance work system (HPWS) and work-related well-being. The findings are as follows. First, New generation employees’ perceptions of HPWS is significantly positively related to job satisfaction but significantly negatively related to job burnout. Second, job expectations partially mediate the relationships between new generation employees’ perceptions of HPWS and job satisfaction, and job burnout. Third, procedural justice plays a negatively moderating role in the relationship between new generation employees’ perceptions of HPWS and job expectations. Finally, results show that procedural justice moderates the indirect effects of new generation employees’ perceptions of HPWS on job satisfaction and job burnout through job expectations.
