Depends on your field of study and whether we are talking about mainstream journals or Open Access(OA) journals. For OA publications there is not a good relationship between the impact factor of a journal and the citation index or your h-index contribution (i.e. a high impact factor does not guarantee many citations)
For mainstream journals there is good relationship between high IF and citations over the years . From my experience this depends also in your field of study certain fields (i.e. molecular biology) offer a very nice rapport between IF and citations . Other fields tend to be more "stagnant" .. for example colleagues of mine in Gerontology "complain" or comment that their h-index is not increasing .. as it does our h-index in Hearing Science.
Of course as the OA model gets more and more diffuse, this picture might change in the near future and people might start using more citations from OA sources.
The following link is a video in English language investigated the effect of journal’s impact factor on the paper’s citations. It could help you as a researcher and/or a research manager to choose right journals for the publications and to know about the extent to which the quality of the journals influences the papers’ citations. Other learning objectives of these videos are to know, the Nobel prize winners publish their papers in which group of journals, and to know about the publishing strategies in top global-ranked universities.
