Role of Organizational Learning and Innovation in between High-performance HR Practices and Business Performance: A Study of Telecommunication Sector

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the role of the organizational learning (OL) and innovation as mediators between high-performance human resource practices (HPHRPs) and business performance (BP) in telecommunication sector. Census method has been used for data collection from employees working in telecommunication organizations in Jammu and Kashmir (North India). Reliability and validity have been proven with the help of confirmatory factor analysis. Structural equation modelling has been used for hypotheses testing. The results indicate that OL mediates the relationship between HPHRPs and innovation, whereas innovation does not mediate but moderates the relationship between OL and BP. So the final model evaluated the mediated-moderation effect of OL and innovation in between HPHRPs and BP. The theoretical and managerial implications have also been discussed.
