“…First, the findings build on the relatively small number of HRM studies linking skill utilization and well‐being. Consistent with Boxall et al's () evidence that skill utilization acts as a mediating pathway between high involvement practices and job satisfaction, and earlier studies linking job control, skill utilization, and satisfaction (Morrison, Cordery, Girardi, & Payne, ), we confirmed the separate positive effects of both HCE HRM and EJD on skill utilization, and, in turn, the beneficial effects of multiple measures of well‐being, namely, job satisfaction and work‐related affective well‐being.…”

“…An overall skill use index (ranging between 0 and 4) was computed. Our index improves on single‐item measures (e.g., Fujishiro & Heaney, ) and is consistent with other studies focused on intrinsic job quality or job design (e.g., Boxall et al, ; Felstead et al, ). In addition, it approximates how employees perceive key workplace elements of HCE HRM and EJD to be implemented at the organizational level, and so captures the concept of visibility of practices within an HRM system (Nishii & Wright, ).…”

“…Loss of identity‐relevant resources, such as control or need satisfaction (e.g., autonomy and belongingness), is often anticipated by those experiencing job insecurity and will therefore heighten its negative impact on well‐being (Schaufeli, ). Skill utilization is central to the enhancement of work‐related self‐esteem, self‐realization, fulfillment, identity making at work, and work engagement (Felstead et al, ; Oldham & Hackman, ) and is identified as a precursor of work‐related well‐being (Boxall et al, ; Cullinane, Bosak, Flood, & Demerouti, ; Fujishiro & Heaney, ). Thus, investing in employee skills in a recessionary climate helps fulfill needs for autonomy, support, and self‐efficacy and maintain employee trust.…”

This article examines whether organizations can enhance employee well‐being by adopting human resource management (HRM) practices strategically targeted to improve skill development and deployment in a recessionary context. Employee skill utilization is proposed as the mediating mechanism between HRM practice and well‐being. The role of workplace skill composition is also examined as a boundary condition within which HRM differentially impacts employee outcomes. Using a nationally representative survey of UK workplaces (Workplace Employment Relations Survey 2011) and matched management and employee data, the analysis focused on organizations that had implemented some recessionary action following the 2008–2009 global financial and economic crisis. The findings show that human capital enhancing HRM and enriched job design positively influenced both job satisfaction and work‐related affective well‐being through increased employee skill utilization. Organizations with predominantly high‐skilled workforces were more likely to adopt these skills‐oriented HRM practices. Nevertheless, the effects of HRM on employee outcomes via skill utilization applied across organizations, regardless of workforce skill composition. The findings demonstrate employee skill utilization as a driver of HRM outcomes and the sustainability of “best practice” HRM arguments across all skill levels, even in the face of recession.

“…We cannot completely reject reverse causality, in the sense that firms supporting CVT may also favour formal employee representatives, as suggested by the concept of high-involvement work systems (HIWS) (Boxall et al, 2015). Nevertheless, this concept stresses the importance of individual voice and involvement rather than collective voice.…”

Employee representatives’ influence on continuing vocational training: The impact of institutional context

What factors determine the involvement of employee representatives in continuing vocational training? This article uses data from the European Company Survey 2009 to examine firm-level and country-level characteristics in 27 European Union (EU) countries. Multilevel logistic regressions indicate that employee representatives increase the probability of companies providing training needs assessments and time off for training. This association is stronger for disadvantaged groups of employees (low-skilled or temporary employees) if the representatives receive support from encompassing collective agreements, strong trade unions or regular training.

“…Second, we contribute a novel perspective to recent discussions of the management of knowledge workers (Bergström et al, 2009;Bos-Nehles et al, 2017;Boxall et al, 2014;Cäker and Siverbo, 2014;Millar et al, 2017;Thompson and Heron, 2005) by testing a mediation model. Our contribution underlines how leadership behavior shape leaders' central mediating role on creative climate.…”
