Effect of Human Resource Interventions on Innovation Performance The Mediating Role of Innovative Work Behavior

Abstract

      This article aims to identify how Human Resources interventions (HRI)  and other practices of Jordanian companies affect the company's innovating capability in public and private working Jordanian community firms, in both services and industrial sectors. The current research utilized a quantitative approach and deductive methodology with a cross-sectional layout to gather data from various instances at a sole moment. The primary goal was to analyse the influence of interventions in human resources on performance in innovation, with innovative work behaviours functioning as a mediator in corporations in Jordan. Details were obtained via a structured survey distributed to 1000 workers in these organizations from June 2023 to August 2023.The study conducts the survey to investigate the relationship between human resources interventions, innovative work and innovation performance through modelling using the sample of 384 employees. According to the current settings, out of 1,245,243 individuals representing the Jordanian workforce in 2023, the sample size required to provide a clear reading to the current situation in Jordan (employees) was given at 384 samples. The results confirm that HR practices are a major contributor to the business innovation performance. This study has the main point that the approach of the HR department (like training and supportive work environment) in the right way could give even more effective innovation behaviour in Jordanian companies and eventually the improvement of the innovation results of Jordanian firms. This article reiterates the important role of The Human Resource Interventions (HRIs) in changing the traditional ways of working. The first and foremost, HRIs construct an environment that facilitates employees' participation in the inventive activities. Furthermore, inventiveness highlighted as a critical employee's contribution factor to innovation productivity within companies. Those creative approaches can be understood as a connection between the employees' innovative behaviour and their organizations' innovative capacities, revealing that those innovative acts are significant for improving an organization's overall innovative capabilities. Promoting innovation in employee behaviour leads to a notable increase in the effectiveness of HR policies on innovation outcomes. This observation underscores the significance of HR interventions in fostering a workplace environment that nurtures innovation. Such interventions can empower Jordanian companies to enhance their innovation performance by fostering a culture of innovative behaviour among their employees. The research could have explored longitudinal studies, larger sample sizes, and different geographical settings to enhance the reliability and relevance of the results.
