Abstract
Results from a survey of 107 organizations suggested that the organizationa l process of benchmarking mediates the effects of munificence on high-invol vement human resource (HR) practices. The weak relationship between munific ence and HR practices observed in past studies might be explained by the fa ilure to account for this organizational process. Implications for HR manag ers and practitioners interested in the role that benchmarking plays in org anizations are highlighted.
