Building ambidexterity: The role of human resource practices in the performance of firms from Spain
研究了高参与人力资源实践如何通过塑造社会氛围来促进企业的双元学习（同时探索新知识和利用现有知识），进而提升绩效，基于198家西班牙企业的数据。
Abstract Both researchers and managers are increasingly interested in how firms can pursue ambidextrous learning—that is, simultaneously exploring new knowledge domains while exploiting current ones. In this study, we attempt to bring human resource management into this forum by introducing and testing how high‐involvement human resource practices shape the social climate that affects the firm's ambidextrous learning and subsequent performance. A field study of 198 companies from Spain showed that high‐involvement human resource practices were positively related to the social climate that, in turn, facilitates ambidextrous learning and improved performance. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
