Abstract

While the impact of high-performance human resource practices on employee performance has been a topic of increasing interest in recent years, there is limited research on the effects of these practices on employees innovative behavior In this study, the relationship between high-performance human resource practices and employees innovative behavior was investigated. Data was collected through a survey technique from 218 employees working in medium and large-scale businesses operating in Kayseri. The hypotheses of the study were tested using multiple linear regression analysis. According to the results of the regression analysis, it was found that the talent development, motivation enhancement, and opportunity-enhancing incentivizing practices that constitute high-performance human resource practices are positively related to employees' innovative behavior. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that high-performance human resource practices have a positive impact on employees innovative behavior. By adopting these practices, organizations can enhance their employees innovative potential and achieve sustainable competitive advantage.

YÜKSEK PERFORMANSLI İNSAN KAYNAKLARI UYGULAMALARININ YENİLİKÇİ DAVRANIŞ İLE İLİŞKİSİ

Abstract

Yüksek performanslı insan kaynakları uygulamalarının çalışanların performansları üzerindeki etkisi son yıllarda ilgi çeken konulardan birisi olmasına rağmen bu uygulamaların işgörenlerin yenilikçi davranışları üzerindeki etkisine yönelik kısıtlı sayıda araştırma olduğu görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada yüksek performanslı insan kaynakları uygulamalarının işgörenlerin yenilikçi davranışlarıyla ilişkisi araştırılmıştır. Araştırman hipotezlerini test etmek amacıyla Kayseri’de faaliyet gösteren orta ve büyük ölçekli işletmelerde çalışan 218 işgörenden anket tekniği kullanılarak veri toplanmıştır. Araştırmanın hipotezleri çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi kullanılarak test edilmiştir. Regresyon analizi sonuçlarına göre, yüksek performanslı insan kaynakları uygulamalarını oluşturan yetenek geliştirici, motivasyon artırıcı ve olanak artırıcı teşvik edici uygulamalarının işgörenlerin yenilikçi davranışlarıyla olumlu yönde ilişkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, yüksek performanslı insan kaynakları uygulamalarının işgörenlerin yenilikçi davranışları üzerinde olumlu bir etkisi olduğu bu çalışma ile gösterilmiştir. İşletmeler bu uygulamaları benimseyerek işgörenlerin yenilikçilik potansiyelini artırabilir ve sürdürülebilir rekabet avantajı elde edebilirler.
