High performance work system and sustainable development among Jordanian SMEs: knowledge sharing as a moderator

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between high-performance work systems (HPWS), sustainable development, and knowledge sharing in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Jordan. In this study it is hypothesized that the ability, motivation, and opportunity (AMO) improving the human resource (HR) practices of SMEs leads to better organizational performance of their employees through the role of knowledge sharing moderation. The results of this study confirm the hypothesis of the causal relationship between AMO practice with sustainable development, and the hypothesis of AMO practice with sustainable development are influenced by knowledge sharing. This study has implications for practice and theory, also can help project managers from these organizations to plan better human resource management (HRM) practices to promote sustainable development through innovation and creative performance of their employees. Therefore, this is one of the first studies to discuss the HRM productivity in AMO practice, and its important role in knowledge sharing.

A three wave longitudinal study of school innovation climate and entrepreneurship teachers’ acceptance to technology: Moderating role of knowledge sharing and knowledge hiding

“…Results illustrates that knowledge hiding moderates the relationship between the “school innovation climate” and “actual use of educational technology (Coefficient = 0.506, p < 0.05), perceived usefulness of educational technology (Coefficient = 0.442, p < 0.05), perceived ease of educational technology (Coefficient = 0.454, p < 0.05).” These findings are consistent with those of Chatterjee et al (2021) , where knowledge hiding is proved to be a constraint for performance. Results also revealed that knowledge sharing moderates the relationship between the “school innovation climate” and “actual use of educational technology (Coefficient = 0.493, p = <0.05), perceived usefulness of educational technology (Coefficient = 0.462, p = <0.05), perceived ease of educational technology (Coefficient = 0.451, p = <0.05).” Hence, the results of this study show that knowledge sharing helps the school innovation climate to enhance the use of educational technology, consistent with the results of the previous studies by Alkhazali et al (2021) .…”

Does Digital Balanced Scorecards Lead To The Sustainable Performance Amongst The Jordanian SMEs?

“…The sustainable performance amongst the Jordanian SMEs was reported in several previous studies (Alkhodary, D. 2021;. Alkhazali, Z., et al, 2021, in those previous studies variables such as knowledge sharing, ability of HR practices, motivation, opportunity, lean management, human resource management, total quality management, Electronic-Human resource management, and mainly the technological, environmental and organizational context to lead the Jordanian SMEs toward sustainable performance.…”

The impact of the external environment on transferring from linear to circular economy with the mediating role of knowledge assimilation

“…Knowledge assimilation involves acquiring, integrating, and applying new knowledge (Alkhazali et al, 2021). It enables organizations to effectively utilize external enablers such as total quality management (TQM) and knowledge management (KM) to enhance their organizational sustainability (OS) in the context of a circular economy.…”
