摘要
当前,中国制造业企业亟待从低端制造向高端智造转型,但已有研究对于驱动制造业企业突破式创新的人力资源要素属性特征并不明确。本研究提出了人力资本榫卯的概念,基于219家制造业企业的问卷调查数据,采用结构方程模型检验了双元性HRM系统、人力资本榫卯属性与制造业企业突破式创新的关系。结果显示:资源导向型人力资源管理可开发人力资本"卯头",协作导向型人力资源管理可开发人力资本"榫眼",人力资本"卯头"对制造业企业突破式创新的直接作用显著,人力资本"榫眼"对制造业企业突破式创新的直接作用不显著;由资源导向型人力资源管理实践与协作导向型人力资源管理实践组成的双元性人力资源管理系统可通过促进人力资本榫卯突现进而驱动制造业企业突破式创新。
Since the reform and opening up,most Chinese manufacturing firms have become accustomed to buying technology rather than doing independent R&D to get fast growth.However,as China’s labor costs rising,as well as some western counties impose blockade on Chinese firms’technological learning,Chinese manufacturing firms have been forced to transform and upgrade themselves from low value-added manufacturing to high value-added intelligent creation through independent innovation.But at this moment,the firm often suddenly discover that those key technologies in manufacturing that add most value are often difficult to break through,due to the insufficient abilities at R&D,innovation and production.Theoretically,the biggest problem that challenges manufacturing firms to upgrade the value chain is that the characteristics of human resource factors driving firms’radical innovation are not clear.Under the enabling of complex workflow structure of radical innovation tasks in firms,the unit-level human capital is created from the emergence of individuals’knowledge,skills,abilities,or other characteristics,which are required to be both diverse and compatible with each other.Based on the concept of mortise and tenon structure in traditional Chinese architecture,this paper puts forward the concept of human capital mortise and tenon,to better explain the"Overlapping"KSAOs which play bridging and cohesion roles in the radical innovation.It can be seen that the human capital that can drive firms’radical innovation often have two major characteristics:the first characteristic is diversity,value,and creativity(human capital tenon);the second characteristic is capable of facilitating,catalyzing or synergizing the diversified human capital to produce greater value(human capital mortise).The two characteristics of human capital elements or attributes(human capital tenon and human capital mortise)require firms to simultaneously implement two functionally opposed human resource management(HRM)systems.In order to verify whether the human capital mortise&tenon is the intellectual driving source of Chinese manufacturing firms’radical innovation,and what kind of HRM system can promote the emergence of human capital mortise&tenon,this paper conducted a two-stage sampling and obtained a valid questionnaire data from 219 manufacturing firms in Tianjin’industrial parks.Based on the questionnaire data of 219 manufacturing firms,structural equation models are used to test the relationships between different types of HRM systems,mortise and tenon characteristics of human capital,and the radical innovation in manufacturing firms.The results show that the resource-flexibility oriented HRM system can develop human capital tenon and the coordination-flexibility oriented HRM system can develop human capital mortise.In addition,the effect of human capital tenon on the radical innovation of manufacturing firms is significant,but the effect of human capital mortise on the radical innovation is not significant.By facilitating the emergence of mortise and tenon of human capital resource,the ambidextrous HRM system can drive the radical innovation of manufacturing firms.This paper has important theoretical contributions.First,it puts forward the concept of"human capital mortise and tenon"and dynamic process of"human capital mortise and tenon"emergence,which is helpful to solve the problem of"static state"in human capital research.Second,more research are needed to study the measurement,outcomes and mechanism of"human capital mortise and tenon",which will hopefully bring new theoretical contributions to the research field of strategic human resource management.Third,this paper partly reveals the complex relationship between human capital and organization radical innovation,which provides a useful supplement to the previous finding.This paper also brings practical implication for Chinese manufacturing firms.It indicates that Chinese manufacturing firms should attach more importance to the human capital mortise and tenon emergence which will contribute to the success of radical innovation,and also need to implement the resource-flexibility oriented HRM and coordination-flexibility oriented HRM simultaneously in order to facilitate the emergence of human capital mortise and tenon.
