Bu araştırmada, yüksek performanslı iş sistemleri (YPİS) alt boyutlarının (liderlik, istihdam güvencesi, seçici işe alım, iş kalitesi, eğitim ve koşullu tazminat) inovasyon davranışı (İD) üzerindeki etkisini yapısal eşitlik modellemesi kullanarak incelemektedir. Ayrıca, YPİS ve İD’nın katılımcıların demografik özelliklerine göre değişkenlik gösterip göstermediği ele alınmıştır. Sonuçlar, YPİS’nin tüm alt boyutları ile İD üzerinde önemli bir etkiye sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Öte taraftan, koşullu tazminat hariç, İD ve YPİS alt boyutları arasında cinsiyet açısından farklılık olmadığı ortaya çıkmış, yaş açısından ise, YPİS alt boyutlarında, seçici işe alım hariç, farklılıklar gözlemlenmiş, İD alt boyutları yaşa göre farklılık göstermemiştir. Benzer şekilde, eğitim düzeyine göre İD ve YPİS alt boyutları arasında farklılık saptanmamıştır. Şirketteki hizmet süresine göre, eğitim ve koşullu tazminat hariç, YPİS alt boyutları farklılık göstermiş, İD alt boyutları şirketteki hizmet süresine göre farklılık göstermemiştir. Son olarak, çalışanların şirketteki pozisyonlarına göre YPİS alt boyutları, iş kalitesi dışında, farklılık gösterirken, İD alt boyutları, uygulama hariç, farklılık göstermemiştir.

Investigating the Impact of High-Performance Work Systems on Innovation Behavior with Structural Equation Modeling

Öz

This study investigates the relationship between high-performance work systems (HPWS) and innovation behavior (IB) using structural equation modeling. The research was carried out on a sample of 205 managers and employees at diverse hospitals located in Istanbul. The normal distribution conformity of quantitative variables was assessed by examining the skewness values against the threshold points of the kurtosis and skewness values. The independent sample t-test was also used to compare two normally distributed groups, while the one-way Anova test was used to compare three or more groups. Findings reveal a positive and significant effect of HPWS on IB. Moreover, demographic factors such as gender, age, education, tenure, and status are examined for their impact on HPWS and innovation behavior, which yields varying and significant outcomes. The study contributes to theoretical understanding by identifying the mechanisms by which HPWS foster innovation and providing useful insights for organizational practitioners seeking to leverage human capital to achieve sustainable competitive advantage.
