Influential Article Review - Combining Institutional Training with High￾Performance Work Methods

Abstract

This paper examines organization. We present insights from a highly influential paper. Here are the highlights from this paper: This study proposes a moderated mediation model to investigate the relationship between organizational learning and firm performance. We argue that entrepreneurial orientation mediates the positive effect of organizational learning on firm performance. Furthermore, the relationship between organizational learning and entrepreneurial orientation is strengthened when firms employ a higher level of high-performance work system. Hypotheses are supported by data from 181 firms operating in the manufacturing and service industries in China. Statistical results further reveal that a high-performance work system has different moderating effects on exploitative learning and exploratory learning. This research extends our understanding of organizational learning theory, entrepreneurship and human resource management literature by cross-fertilizing constructs in these fields with empirical evidence. For our overseas readers, we then present the insights from this paper in Spanish, French, Portuguese, and German.
