The effect of high performance work systems on radical innovation in knowledge-based companies through moderating role of innovation capabilities

Abstract

The present study aims to examine the effect of high-performance systems through moderating role of marketing capabilities on radical innovation of knowledge-based companies. The statistical population of study includes all managers and employees of Iranian knowledge-based companies that are located in Isfahan province. The statistical sample of study includes 165 individuals. The results of present study suggest that the variables of employee autonomy, training and development off employees, participation in decision-making, job security and performance management affect radical innovation of knowledge-based companies significantly. In addition, the results suggest that the variables of job security and job clarity do not affect radical innovation of knowledge-based companies significantly. In addition, results of testing moderating hypothesis suggest that innovation capabilities with adjustment coefficient of 0.527 moderate the effect of high-performance systems on radical innovation significantly.
