چکیده

اقدام‌های مدیریت منابع انسانی به‌عنوان یک گرایش استراتژیک برای سازمان‌ها به تقویت کارکنان و بهبود مزیت رقابتی منجر می‏شود. پژوهش حاضر با هدف بررسی تأثیر اقدام‌های مدیریت منابع انسانی بر عملکرد از طریق نقش میانجی جهت‏ گیری راهبردی و نقش تعدیل‌گری پویایی محیطی انجام می‏شود. با 183 پرسشنامه‌ الکترونیکی به‏ دست‏ آمده از شرکت ‏های کوچک و متوسط دانش‏ محور و تجزیه‌وتحلیل داده‏ ها با مدل معادله‏ های ساختاری نتایج پژوهش نشان می ‏دهد که اقدام‏ های مدیریت منابع انسانی به‌صورت مستقیم رابطه معناداری با عملکرد ندارد. درحالی‌که با ورود متغیر جهت‏گیری راهبردی (جهت‏گیری کارآفرینی و جهت‏گیری بازار) نتایج بیان می‏کند که به‌صورت مثبت و معنادار می ‏تواند نقش میانجی‏ گری را در آن رابطه ایفا کند. همچنین تأثیر مثبت و معنادار جهت ‏گیری کارآفرینی و جهت ‏گیری بازار بر عملکرد از نظر آماری تأیید می‏ شود، اما در شرایطی که محیط رقابتی پویا باشد، جهت ‏گیری کارآفرینی اثر مثبت و معنادار ولی جهت‏گیری بازار اثر منفی و معنادار بر عملکرد می‏ گذارد. نتایج این پژوهش نشان‏دهندۀ لزوم اجرای راهبردهای کارآفرینانه و بازارگرا برای بهره ‏برداری از اقدام‏ های مدیریت منابع انسانی و توجه به اجرای راهبردهای کارآفرینانه در محیط ‏های پرنوسان است. پژوهش حاضر دارای پیشنهادهای اجرایی و پژوهشی است.

چکیده [English]

Human resource management practices as a strategic resource for organizations lead to employee empowerment and competitive advantage improvement. The present study investigates the effect of human resource management practices on performance through the mediating role of strategic orientation and moderating environmental dynamic role. According to 183 electronic questionnaires collected from small and medium-sized Knowledge-oriented firms and data analysis with structural equation modeling, the research results indicate that the relationship between human resource management practices and performance is not significant directly. However, the strategic orientation concept (entrepreneurship orientation and market orientation) can positively and significantly play a mediating role in that relationship. The positive and significant effect of entrepreneurship orientation and market orientation on performance is also confirmed statistically. In a dynamic environment, entrepreneurial orientation has a positive, while market orientation has a negative and significant effect on performance. The finding indicates the need to implement entrepreneurial and market-oriented strategies for exploiting human resource management practices and pays attention to conceiving entrepreneurial strategies in dynamic environments. The executive and research suggestions are discussed.
