Abstract: This article designs and tests hypothetical model connecting high-performance work systems (HPWSs) and the productivity level of employees through knowledge exchange, in light of the knowledge-based perspective on the business association. The idea that knowledge exchange and combination play a mediating effect is supported by an evaluation of our framework in a sample of automobile sector employees. Based on the empirical results, the link between HPWS and knowledge exchange was positive and significant, while knowledge exchange acts as mediator between the HPWS productivity linkage. These findings offer interesting cues to the academicians to understand the concept of work systems. In addition, the managers can draw insights from the findings to develop strategies for effective work systems and knowledge sharing in the organisation.

Keywords: knowledge management; strategic human resource management; SHRM; high-performance work systems; HPWSs; information exchange.
