بررسی علیت معکوس بین سیاستهای مدیریت منابع انسانی و عملکرد سازمانی در شرکت های کوچک
Investigating reverse causality between human resource management policies and organizational performance in small firms
Abstract
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to test reverse causality between human resource management (HRM) policies and organizational performance, through the intervening steps of employee attitudes (satisfaction, commitment, motivation) and employee behaviors (absences, turnover, disputes), which are still relatively untested in small firms and in a non-US/UK context such as Greece.
Design/methodology/approach – Structural equation modeling was used to survey data from 197 small Greek private companies (manufacturing, services, trade) to examine causal inferences.
Knowledge sharing, innovation and firm performance
Abstract
This study investigates the quantitative relationship between knowledge sharing, innovation and performance. Based on the literature review, we develop a research model positing that knowledge sharing not only have positive relationship with performance directly but also influence innovation which in turn contributes to firm performance. This model is empirically tested using data collected from 89 high technology firms in Jiangsu Province of China. It is found that both explicit and tacit knowledge sharing practices facilitate innovation and performance. Explicit knowledge sharing has more significant effects on innovation speed and financial performance while tacit knowledge sharing has more significant effects on innovation quality and operational performance.
