Abstract

This article examines the interplay between high-performance work systems (HPWS) and the innovation of Vietnamese small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Our conceptual model relies on the componential theory of creativity along with HPWS, learning goal orientation (LGO), creativity and innovation to hypothesise both mediation and moderation mechanisms linking such a relationship. Using a sample of 133 SMEs, we find that (1) employee creativity mediates the pathway between HPWS and firm innovation; and (2) LGO moderates the HPWS - employee creativity relationship. Our study casts new light on the theoretical mechanism through which HPWS influence firm innovation and adds to understanding about HPWS within SMEs by bringing employees centre stage.
