Additional Scales on High Involvement Management, Family-Friendly Management and Lean Production from the Workplace Employee Relations Survey, 2004 investigates how the implementation of such employment approaches can be linked to employee well-being and organisational performance. High involvement management (HIM) involves such organisational practices as team-working, flexible job descriptions and other arrangements which encourage greater flexibility and collaboration along with acquiring the skills and knowledge required to optimise working in teams. Lean production entails practices which facilitate the timely and efficient procurement and delivery of goods and services. Family-friendly policies are aimed at helping employees by providing flexitime working and access to facilities which support the achievement of an optimal work-life balance. This study used data from Workplace Employee Relations Survey, 2004 (WERS 2004) (available from the UK Data Archive under SN 5294). Analysis procedures involved state-of-the-art statistical analysis, including latent variable analysis, multi-level modelling, path analysis and configuration analysis. The dataset deposited at the Archive includes four variables; one unique reference number which can be matched against the WERS 2004 data and 3 trait score variables. Further information can be found on the ESRC High Involvement Management, Employee Well-Being and Organisational Performance award web page.
