The impact of ability‐, motivation‐ and opportunity‐enhancing strategic human resource management on performance: the mediating roles of emotional capability and intellectual capital

Abstract

We used data from 441 managers of science and technology enterprises to empirically test the dynamic capability path and resource‐based path of ability‐enhancing, motivation‐enhancing and opportunity‐enhancing (AMO) strategic human resource management as influencing factors on performance. The results show that AMO‐enhancing strategic human resource management affects organizational performance through organizational emotional capability and organizational intellectual capital in the start‐up stage. In the development stage, ability‐ and opportunity‐enhancing strategic human resource management affects performance through organizational emotional capability and organizational intellectual capital, while motivation‐enhancing strategic human resource management has no significant impact on performance. In the mature stage, ability‐enhancing strategic human resource management influences performance through organizational emotional capability, while motivation‐ and opportunity‐enhancing strategic human resource management has no significant effect on performance.
