Abstract:

 

The current study was an effort to test the effects of market orientation and strategic human resources practices (SHR) over organizational level innovation. In an era where companies need to implement key strategic human resources and be market oriented, we aimed at testing the effects of these two important perspectives with data drawn collected from the IT industry (N = 174). Results showed that only participation in decision making from SHR practices and customer orientation from market orientation predicted organizational level innovation positively. Moreover, our findings also emphasized that the relationship between SHR practices and organizational level innovation were more pronounced for companies which had high degrees of market orientation. Our findings speak to significant managerial implications and emphasize the need to include employees in decision making processes. Further suggestions, limitations and conclusions are also discussed.
