Employment Academics are a professional profession that is facing many challenges because of the various demands placed on them. Academics are now not only responsible for teaching but also required to fulfil other requirements as required by the institution including academic journal writing, research, publication, conferences, consultation, and community service as well as industry collaboration.

Therefore, this study aimed to study the role quality of working life (QoWL) as a mediator in the relationship between a high-performance work system (HPWS) and academic work performance (AWP). 332 academics from focused universities in Kedah and Perlis were randomly selected to respond to the survey. The survey questionnaire consisted of 76 items covering selected factors namely HPWS, QOWL, and job performance. The data collected for tested the reliability, and then analysed using bootstrap to test the hypothesis. The results of this study confirm that a high-performance work system positively related to the quality of work life. In addition, the quality of work-life also positively related to academic work performance. Overall, the results of this study show that QOWL is a mediator in the relationship between high-performance work systems and academic work performance. Finally, this study contributes to the theory of the social exchange theory because of the implementation of HPWS can effectively improve quality of working life and ultimately academician’s work performance.
