High-involvement HRM practices stimulate incremental and radical innovation : the roles of knowledge sharing and market turbulence

There is a lack of study examining the relationship between high-involvement HRM practice and innovation capability as mediated by knowledge sharing. So, the motivation of this paper is to study and explore potential intermediating roles of explicit and tacit knowledge sharing in linking high-involvement HRM practice and innovation capability under the possible moderator of market turbulence. Analysis of Moment Structures was used to measure validation and test the structural model based on the questionnaire surveys of 333 participators in 119 Vietnamese manufacturing and service enterprises from May to July 2021. The collected data were inspected and analyzed using SPSS and AMOS software version 22. The result advocates the proposed hypotheses relating to the intermediating role of KS in the HRM practices-innovation relationship. It spotlights the crucial character of market turbulence in driving the domination of high-involvement HRM practice on incremental and radical innovation. This paper remarkably increases the insights of the precursor role of high-involvement HRM practice, intermediating mechanism of KS activities, and the regulating influence of market turbulence in predicting and fostering radical and incremental innovation, thereby pushing forward the theory of HRM and innovation management.
