Strategic Human Resource Practices and Product Innovation
基于创造力理论，研究了战略人力资源实践对企业产品创新能力的影响，发现任务自主权、培训和绩效薪酬对渐进式创新重要，任务自主权和弹性工时对激进式创新重要，而待命合同则降低创新水平。
Using creativity theory as a heuristic device, I develop hypotheses on the relation between strategic human resource practices and a firm's capability to generate product innovations. My empirical tests in a sample of 988 Dutch firms indicate the importance of task autonomy, training and performance-based pay for generating incremental innovations. Regarding radical innovations, the results point to the importance of task autonomy and flexible working hours. The use of standby contracts is associated with significantly lower levels of innovativeness. We also find interaction effects between individual HR practices, between HR practices and firm size, and between HR practices and R&D intensity.
