While previous studies have found high‐commitment work practices ( HCWP s) to have an intimate relationship with organizational performance, little is currently known about what affects the adoption of HCWP s and which factors change the relationship between HCWP s and organizational performance. This study focuses on employee‐centered philosophy as a predictor of HCWP s and on competitive market environments and market strategies as moderators in the relationship between HCWP s and organizational performance. Using a nationally representative and longitudinal dataset, this study demonstrates that HCWP s mediate the relationship between employee‐centered philosophy and labor productivity. The findings also support the hypotheses that HCWP s are more strongly related to organizational performance in organizations under a more competitive environment and with a more innovative market strategy. The results provide implications on how employee‐centered philosophy affects organizational performance and which organizations benefit more from adopting HCWP s.
