Abstract

The current study discusses the significance of High Performance Work Practices (HPWPs) and analyses
its relevance to employee engagement and performance in Nigeria. Hotel employees with different
background are interviewed and their views thematically analysed. Findings show that when employees
feel more engaged with their jobs, they are more likely to support HPWPs, recognizing its importance
and demonstrating creative performance. The relationship between HPWPs and performance outcomes is
strengthened by managerial trust in employees’ capability and appreciation for work done. Research
findings offer unique understanding of HPWPs and clarify its application efficiency in the hospitality
industry. Implications are discussed.
