Researchers has had an interest in the role of culture in the use of high performance work practices in recent years. Yet, the effect of culture on high performance work practices and the resulting performance outcomes is under-researched and remains unknown. In order to fill this research gap, I examined the effects of culture on high performance work practices and one resulting workplace outcome (i.e. positive work climate) by focusing on organizational culture. I tested the hypotheses by drawing on evidence from local and foreign companies in Vietnam. I theorized and found not only the effect of an organization's collectivist culture on high performance work practices but also its indirect effect on positive work climate through those practices and the indirect effect conditioned by organizational form (i.e. domestic versus international firms). I performed supplementary analyses to explore cross-cultural differences by combining datasets from my prior U.S. and Japan surveys with a dataset from the Vietnam survey. A future research direction would be to collect data from multiple countries, including not only Asian countries but also Western ones, and to estimate the cross-cultural effects on the use of high performance work practices and the resulting work climate and other workplace outcomes among those nations.
