Este estudo examinou o efeito moderador direto do ajuste externo na relação entre os sistemas de trabalho de alto desempenho (HPWS), resultados de Recursos Humanos (RH), resultados operacionais e desempenho financeiro de empresas públicas na Etiópia. Também avaliou as relações indiretas moderadas entre o HPWS e o desempenho financeiro das empresas por meio dos mediadores de resultados de RH e resultados operacionais. A teoria da contingência foi usada como uma estrutura analítica, pois a teoria examina o impacto da integração vertical entre o HPWS e a estratégia de negócios competitiva no desempenho organizacional. A pesquisa é um estudo quantitativo transversal. A organização foi a unidade de análise do estudo, enquanto as unidades de observação foram gerentes de nível superior, médio e inferior. O estudo abrangeu nove empresas públicas e coletou dados de 480 gerentes usando questionário estruturado validado. A técnica de modelagem de equações estruturais (SEM) foi usada para realizar a análise de dados do estudo. Os dados foram analisados usando o software Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) 26 e o Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 27. Os resultados da pesquisa mostram que a relação direta entre HPWS, resultados de RH, resultados operacionais e desempenho financeiro não foi moderada pelo ajuste externo. O ajuste externo também não moderou a relação indireta entre HPWS e desempenho financeiro. Como a pesquisa utilizou dados transversais, pesquisas futuras podem usar um delineamento longitudinal para coletar dados sobre práticas de HPWS e construtos de resultados organizacionais para compreender conclusivamente a natureza da relação e causalidade entre HPWS e desempenho financeiro. O estudo recomenda que as empresas públicas na Etiópia se concentrem mais em fortalecer o efeito principal do HPWS do que em tentar garantir a existência de alinhamento entre as práticas de HPWS e as estratégias competitivas das empresas públicas.
