The purpose of this study is to explore the relationships among the use of flexible work practices, the nature of training, and organizational performance across organizations of differing sizes. Organizations have adopted management approaches, variously called high performance or flexible work practices, to gain an increased capacity to achieve new and more challenging goals. Training is critical to the implementation of these management approaches. How training is used in organizations depends on the nature and context of the organization. However, little research attention has focused on flexible work practices and training in small and medium- sized enterprises despite their vital economic role collectively. This study generates new knowledge regarding the behaviors of organizations with respect to flexible work practices and training, gains new insights into the behaviors of small and medium-sized enterprises, and contributes to the understanding of the relationship between flexible work practices and training.
