Abstract: The telecom industry of Bangladesh has been considered to be one of the fastest growing service sectors in the country. Due to its rapid growth and intense competition, employees play a pivotal role in the success of organisations. Culture is one of the most widely covered topics in the international business arena. It is evident that cultural differences between countries may increase or decrease the relationship between high performance work systems (HPWS) and performance. The present research aims to discover the impact that HPWS have on employees' performance. The study has established a conceptual framework based on the knowledge gap identified. The findings indicate that HPWS have a positive impact on employee performance, and that power distance mediates and moderates the relationship between HPWS and employee performance. In light of the above evidence, the research raises the alarming issue of 'brain drain' regarding the Bangladeshi context.
