Abstract

Augmenting Malaysia’s innovation and R&D capabilities is a major national priority. At present, the level of R&D and innovation in Malaysia is not encouraging. Hence, there is a critical need to enhance the quality of R&D workforce. Studies have suggested high performance work practices (HPWP) as an HR strategy to nurture creative talents in R&D organizations. This paper describes the existing implementation of HPWP in Malaysian R&D organizations. It is reassuring to know that HPWP is already being implemented by these R&D organizations although the patterns of implementation are slightly different from one to another. By learning how HPWP works, organizations are able make effective decisions to develop exceptional R&D workforce.
