從資源基礎理論(resource-based view, RBV)及能力-動機-機會(ability-motivation-opportunity, AMO)理論的觀點,跨層次分析鑲嵌於員工本身之人力資本在高績效工作系統(high performance work system, HPWS)與工作績效關係間之中介效果,並檢視員工創意自我效能(creative self-efficacy, CSE)對上述中介機制的調節影響。從120家獨立及連鎖美容/美髮店,以一位店長對三位美容師/美髮設計師,共360組配對的有效樣本分析發現,員工人力資本中介HPWS與個人工作績效的正向關係,以及員工的CSE高低將影響人力資本中介效果顯著與否。研究結果顯示在跨層次的HPWS研究中,納入員工人力資本及CSE解釋員工績效的適切性,除嘗試釐清HPWS與工作績效間關係之疑義,亦提供相關管理與實務意涵。
Drawing on the resource-based view (RBV) and the ability-motivation-opportunity (AMO) perspective, the strategic human resource management research is advanced by a joint investigation of the mediation role of human capital embedded in employees in linking high performance work system (HPWS) and employee job performance and the moderating role of creative self-efficacy (CSE) in influencing the mediation. This study tested the above moderated mediation model with matched data from 360 professional beauticians/ hairdressers and their store managers of 120 chained and independent beauty/hair salons (with one store manager to three beauticians/hairdressers). The multi-level analysis results showed that human capital mediated the positive relationship between HPWS and job performance. Moderated mediation analysis of individual-level CSE further indicated that human capital mediated the HPWS-employee creativity performance relationship for employees with low level of CSE. Theoretical and practical implications of our findings are also provided.
