TY - JOUR T1 - The Influence of Employee Engagement and Knowledge-Sharing on the Link between High-Performance Work Systems and Innovative Behavior A1 - Pablo Hernández A1 - Lucia Morales A1 - Javier Torres A1 - Diego Navarro JF - Asian Journal of Individual and Organizational Behavior JO - Asian J Indiv Organ Behav SN - 3108-4192 Y1 - 2024 VL - 4 IS - 1 DO - 10.51847/AEW5rsQp3M SP - 163 EP - 175 N2 - The current study explores how employees’ perceptions of high-performance work systems (HPWS) indirectly stimulate innovative behaviour (IB) by examining two mediating pathways, focusing on the combined effect of work engagement and knowledge-sharing at the individual level. Drawing on a sample of professors and researchers from a Spanish state university, the study applies partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) to investigate how engagement and knowledge-sharing jointly mediate the relationship between HPWS perceptions and IB. The analysis demonstrates that work engagement and knowledge-sharing operate in a sequential mediating manner, suggesting that HPWS positively impact IB primarily when engagement is present. The findings emphasize the need for careful planning and implementation of HPWS to ensure employees are motivated and committed, thereby maximizing innovative outcomes. This research sheds light on the mechanisms linking HPWS to IB, highlighting the crucial roles of engagement and knowledge-sharing in translating high-performance work practices into innovative behaviour.
