Cultivating Innovative Work Behavior: Insights from HRM Practices Integration

Innovative Work Behavior (IWB) has a prominent space in various literature, but what cultivates it remains inconsistent and fragmented. This study posits that controlled Human Resource (HR) practices can foster Innovative Work Behavior (IWB). It used Reflective Thematic Analysis (RTA) to examine from the lens of Perceived Organizational Support (POS) and Learning Culture (LC) theories based on the insights of 10 expert-respondents across 8 industries. The findings revealed that the organization’s support and the synergy of HR practices such as Diversity Management (DM), Work Life Balance (WLB), and Training and Development (TD) significantly succeeded to cultivate IWB while Rewards and Recognition (RR) practices failed to cultivate the desired behavior. The study also showed that championing cultural diversity and observing employees’ balanced work-family time propelled innovative behavior. Likewise, Learning Culture (LC) as enhanced by TD, DM, and WLB practices escalated the employees’ IWB. The study recommends to strategize RR practices, focusing on intrinsic rewards that are linked to IWB and to enhance TD practices for sustainable learning. It further highlights the crucial role of organizational support through HRM practices and learning culture in cultivating IWB. Since IWB is multi-factored, an investigation on other factors not addressed in this study and longitudinal research must be conducted to ensure consistent findings. The future direction of this study should also focus on external factors such as technological advancement, market competition, and regulatory environment that shall redefine the organization’s core values and consequently frame employees’ Innovative Work Behavior. This study does not only contribute to the existing body of literature, but also offers significant insights for both HR and Innovation managers in their respective practices.

The article explores the digital transformation of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) through a bibliometric analysis. The study analyses the scientific literature to understand the current trends, challenges, and emerging themes surrounding the digitalization of SOEs across various industries. Digital transformation, which involves integrating technologies like AI, IoT, and big data, is crucial for improving operational efficiency, reducing costs, and ensuring sustainability in such key sectors as energy, transportation, and telecommunications, where SOEs often play a pivotal role. The research uses bibliometric tools, specifically Scopus and the Biblioshiny App, to map out the literature on digital transformation in SOEs, analyze keywords, and identify thematic clusters in the body of research. The study highlights the significant publication growth, particularly from 2018 onwards, and points to digital transformation, corporate governance, and green innovation as dominant research themes. These themes illustrate how SOEs leverage digital technologies to improve service delivery, increase transparency, and meet environmental targets. The study observed a rapid increase in research output related to SOE digital transformation, particularly from 2020 to 2023. The leading contributors were journals such as Finance Research Letters, Sustainability (Switzerland), and Technological Forecasting and Social Change. The central themes of the analyzed publications included digital transformation, corporate governance, green innovation, and environmental performance. These were classified as “motor themes” due to their high centrality and well-developed nature, indicating their pivotal role in SOE research. The analysis revealed strong links between keywords such as digital transformation, information asymmetry, and innovation. These connections highlight the critical role of digital technologies in enhancing transparency, efficiency, and sustainability within SOEs. The study reveals that the digital transformation of SOEs is a critical area of research, with a growing emphasis on sustainability and innovation. The analysis underscores the need for further studies on the financial impacts of digitalization, the role of government policies, and cross-country comparisons to fully understand how different regulatory and economic environments influence the digital transformation processes in SOEs. By leveraging emerging technologies, SOEs can better align with national digital strategies and contribute to broader policy goals such as energy efficiency and inclusive growth.

Exploring strategic decision making as a mediator between enterprise resource planning, innovation, strategic planning, and organizational performance

This study aimed to explore the effect of enterprise resource planning (ERP), innovation (IN), and strategic planning (SP) on the organizational performance (OP) of large industrial companies in Saudi Arabia, with the mediating role of strategic decision-making (SDM). To this end, data was collected from 358 participants and analyzed using structured equation modeling (SEM) via SmartPLS 4. The findings confirmed that ERP positively affects both SDM and OP. Likewise, IN positively affects SDM but does not directly affect OP. On the contrary, SP positively affects both SDM and OP. These results emphasized the important role of SDM as a mediator. Theoretical implications highlight the integration of ERP, IN, SDM, and SP into a coherent model that explains OP dynamics. In practical terms, organizations can leverage these insights to enhance SDM processes aimed at improving operational processes. Overall, this study contributes to the literature by providing a nuanced understanding of how ERP, IN, SDM, and practices collectively drive operational processes in industrial contexts, particularly in Saudi Arabia.

Self-reliance or dependence? patterns of information technology use on innovation performance

The association between information technology (IT) and firms’ innovation performance remains underexplored within the current Operations Management literature. We attempt to address this void by exploring how patterns of IT use (exploration and exploitation) influence innovation performance. We also introduce distinct types of supply chain (SC) innovation strategies, and explore how internal, external, and ambidextrous (balanced and combined) innovation strategies moderate the relationship. Drawing upon the dynamic capability view, we consider patterns of IT use as firms’ dynamic capabilities that can foster innovation performance, and regard SC innovation strategy as organisational paths that may influence the effectiveness of IT use. We empirically examine the relationship using data from 995 manufacturing firms featured in the World Bank China Enterprise Survey. We find IT exploitation and exploration positively influence innovation performance. Additionally, the internal innovation strategy can amplify the positive effect of IT exploitation, while exerting a non-significant moderating effect on IT exploration. Interestingly, the positive impacts of both IT use patterns on innovation are weakened when firms adopt external and ambidextrous innovation strategies. Our study contributes to a deeper comprehension of the relationship among IT use, SC innovation strategies, and firms’ innovation performance based on a dynamic capability view.
