“…The HRIS can also facilitate the integration of the different aspects of HRM in the organization. In a case study, Ghanam and Cox (2007) demonstrate that not individual HRM practices but HRM systems are the source of competitive advantage. These systems allow the integration of organizational culture, employee treatment, and HRM with the firm's strategy.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate conditions for a human resource information system (HRIS) to impact organizational competitiveness. Particularly, the author proposes that an HRIS is a key factor in building dynamic capabilities through fostering codification and dissemination of path‐dependent processes and assuring that the firm is able to repeat its successes.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on the resource‐based view (and its extension), the author theorizes about the relationship between HRIS specificity and firm competitiveness.FindingsIt is proposed that in‐house developed or highly‐customized HRIS are the key to building dynamic capabilities necessary for firm competitiveness.Research limitations/implicationsBy considering the HRIS as a vehicle for the unique and inimitable organizational processes, the author extends the traditional definition of management information systems. However, such an extension is doable within certain limitations. First, the assumption must be maintained that an HRIS can reflect unique routines and processes, and second, it must be recognized that path‐dependent routines may diminish organizational flexibility necessary for competitiveness in a changing environment.Practical implicationsIt is important for organizations to recognize that favorable conditions are necessary for employees to generate value. A potential favorable condition can be the HRIS that meets employee expectations and disseminates unique managerial knowledge.Originality/valueThe paper bridges diverse literature to highlight the role of HRIS in firm competitiveness. A new construct is proposed – HRIS specificity – to guide future research in the empirical examination of the proposed relationships and the dynamic capability paradigm.

“…Later, Vuontisjaarvi (2006) focussed on human resource reporting and corporate social responsibility (CSR), revealing that the quality of reporting is not up to the mark and is at an early stage of development. Most of the research conducted during this decade was based on carbon emissions, CSR, IC, and HDCs to improve business practices (Bocken and Allwood, 2012; Ghanam and Cox, 2007). However, even at the end of the decade, there was lack of thorough investigation.…”

PurposeAlthough intellectual capital (IC) and human dynamic capabilities (HDCs) play a significant role in decarbonization processes, their measurement and reporting is under-researched. Hence, this study aims to identify the link between HDCs, carbon accounting and integrated reporting (IR) in the transition processes, investigating IC and HDCs in decarbonization processes to achieve net-zero business models (n-ZBMs).Design/methodology/approachA systematic literature review with a concise bibliometric analysis is conducted on 229 articles, published from 1990 to 2023 in Scopus database and Google Scholar. Reviewing data on publications, journals, authors and citations and analysing the article content, this study identifies the main search trends, providing a new conceptual model and future research propositions.FindingsThe results reveal that the literature has rarely focussed on carbon accounting in terms of IC and HDCs. Additionally, firms face pressure from institutions and stakeholders regarding legitimacy and transparency, necessitating a response considering IR and requiring n-ZBMs to be developed through IC and HDCs to meet social and environmental requirements.Originality/valueNot only does this study link IC with HDCs to address carbon emissions through decarbonization practices, which has never been addressed in the literature to date, but also provides novel recommendations and propositions through which firms can sustainably transition to being net-zero emission firms, thereby gaining competitive advantage and contributing to the nation’s sustainability goals.

“…This means that dynamic capacities involve the ability to understand and apply the combination of knowledge for business activities (Soosay & Hyland, 2008) in an attempt to maintain a competitive advantage through the process of continuous creation and recreation, resulting in benefits in ever-changing markets (Ghanam & Cox, 2007; Zheng, Zhang, Wu, & Du, 2011).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this article is to investigate the interrelationships between innovation climate and human capital in the development of dynamic capabilities related to innovation. The study presents a set of concepts about variables involved in the innovation process and their interrelationship, addressing the analysis of international scientific production related to the antecedents of the innovation climate, human capital and dynamic capabilities.Design/methodology/approachA review of the literature from 1998 to 2018 was carried out, using descriptive statistical methods, at first, and qualitative analysis of the results in order to visualize the current configuration of the field of study of innovation background.FindingsThe results demonstrate a significant number of studies relating human capital and dynamic capabilities and little quantitative significance in studies relating to a climate of innovation and dynamic capabilities. The research describes how the dynamic capabilities of innovation have been approached in a conceptual model based on the perspective of human capital and innovation climate.Research limitations/implicationsThe study did not contemplate the analysis of the interrelationship between the resource configuration construct and the dynamic innovation capacities (part of the gap pointed out by Tuzovic, Wirtz and Heracleous (2018), constituting a perceptible limitation of the analyzes carried out in this article.Practical implicationsThe influence of the innovation climate construct and its relationship with dynamic innovation capabilities deserves greater attention in research with an empirical approach, constituting a field to be explored by scientific research in organizations.Originality/valueThe research sought to investigate the gap involving the interrelations between innovation climate and human capital in the development of dynamic capabilities related to innovation, indicating the need for further empirical studies on the subject.
