Employee ambidexterity, high performance work systems and innovative work behaviour: How much balance do we need?
研究了员工探索与利用活动的平衡或专精如何影响创新工作行为，并检验高绩效工作系统是否调节这一关系。结果发现高水平平衡和专精都有利于创新，但高绩效工作系统的调节作用未获支持。
This study examines whether and how innovative work behaviour is related to explorative and exploitative activities. Polynomial regression analyses are used to test the relationship between ambidexterity (being engaged in explorative and exploitative activities in equal amounts) and innovative work behaviour, as well as between specialisation (being engaged in either explorative or exploitative activities) and innovative work behaviour. Furthermore, we use moderated polynomial regression analyses to examine a possible moderating effect of high-performance work systems (HPWS) on these relationships. Results indicate that balance at a high level, as well as specialisation, are conducive to innovative work behaviour. A moderating effect of HPWS was not supported by our data.
