Abstract

The aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship between high-performance work systems (HPWS) and product innovativeness. Drawing on the dynamic capabilities perspective, this study examines the mediating role of technological capabilities in this relationship as well as considering the moderating role of university and industry (U-I) collaboration between HPWS and technological capabilities. Data for this study were collected from 228 firms in the Turkish automobile industry. Research hypotheses were examined by the partial least squares structural equation modelling technique using SmartPLS. Results revealed that technological capabilities mediated the relationship between HPWS and product innovativeness, and U-I collaboration had a moderating effect in the relationship between HPWS and technological capabilities. While this study examines the role of technological capabilities in the relationship between HPWS and product innovativeness for the first time in the literature, it also aims to understand whether HPWS contribute to the development of organizational level capabilities. Furthermore, U-I collaboration is examined as a contextual factor enabling the use of HPWS to transform technological capabilities.

高性能工作系统与产品创新的关系：技术能力的中介作用与大学与产业合作的调节作用

本文的目的是研究高性能工作系统(HPWS)与产品创新之间的关系。基于动态能力视角，本研究考察了技术能力在这一关系中的中介作用，并考虑了产学研合作对技术能力的调节作用。本研究的数据收集自土耳其汽车工业的228家公司。研究假设检验偏最小二乘结构方程建模技术使用SmartPLS。结果表明，技术能力在企业高绩效产品与产品创新的关系中起中介作用，U-I协作在企业高绩效产品与产品创新的关系中起调节作用。本研究在文献中首次考察了技术能力在企业技术服务与产品创新之间的关系中的作用，同时也旨在了解企业技术服务是否有助于组织层面能力的发展。此外，U-I合作作为一个上下文因素被检查，使使用HPWS转换技术能力。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Engineering and Technology Management (JET-M) is an international scholarly refereed research journal which aims to promote the theory and practice of technology, innovation, and engineering management. The journal links engineering, science, and management disciplines. It addresses the issues involved in the planning, development, and implementation of technological capabilities to shape and accomplish the strategic and operational objectives of an organization. It covers not only R&D management, but also the entire spectrum of managerial concerns in technology-based organizations. This includes issues relating to new product development, human resource management, innovation process management, project management, technological fusion, marketing, technological forecasting and strategic planning. The journal provides an interface between technology and other corporate functions, such as R&D, marketing, manufacturing and administration. Its ultimate goal is to make a profound contribution to theory development, research and practice by serving as a leading forum for the publication of scholarly research on all aspects of technology, innovation, and engineering management.
