Abstract

This study investigates whether workforce agility via financial and non-financial performance influences corporate reputation and whether transformational leadership of top management and talent management via workforce agility impact financial and non-financial performance of IT firms. Data were collected from 225 IT firms and a middle-level executive from each firm responded to the questionnaire. Standard inventories were used to measure the constructs and only an inventory was developed to assess talent management. Data on financial performance, stock-listing status, firm size, and location of the firm were taken from secondary sources. When the effect of stock-listing status was controlled, firm performance improved corporate reputation. High (low) workforce agility via increased (decreased) firm performance was associated with high (low) corporate reputation. Furthermore, transformational leadership of top management and talent management via workforce agility were positively related to firm performance. The indirect effects suggested full mediation except the impact of workforce agility via financial performance on corporate reputation. Conclusively, transformational leadership of the top management and talent management of the firm develop the workforce agility, and the workforce agility furthers the firm performance that begets corporate reputation.

员工敏捷性、公司绩效和公司声誉的推动者

本研究考察了人力敏捷性是否通过财务和非财务绩效影响企业声誉，以及高层管理变革型领导和人才管理是否通过人力敏捷性影响IT公司的财务和非财务绩效。数据是从225家IT公司收集的，每家公司都有一名中层管理人员回答了问卷。标准的清单被用来衡量结构，只有一个清单被开发来评估人才管理。财务业绩、股票上市状况、公司规模和公司所在地的数据均取自二手资料。当上市地位的影响受到控制时，企业绩效提高了企业声誉。通过提高(降低)公司绩效而获得的高(低)劳动力敏捷性与高(低)公司声誉相关。此外，高层管理变革型领导和员工敏捷性人才管理与企业绩效正相关。间接效应表明，除了员工敏捷性通过财务绩效对企业声誉的影响外，还存在充分的中介作用。最后，企业高层管理者的变革型领导和人才管理发展了劳动力敏捷性，劳动力敏捷性进一步促进了企业绩效，从而产生了企业声誉。
