“…These resources influence an organization's strategies of growth and organizational structure (Nelson & Winter, 1982). Soo, Tian, Teo, and Cordery (2017) state that "older organizations may have better developed organizational structures and systems that facilitate the effective acquisition and exploitation of knowledge" (p. 441). We expect that the longer the history of the organization, the greater the organization's embeddedness in its environment (Yiu, Bruton, & Lu, 2005).…”

An Examination of the Relationship between Intellectual Capital and Supply Chain Integration in Humanitarian Aid Organizations: A Survey‐Based Investigation of Food Banks

2017

Food banks are humanitarian aid organizations that collect, organize, and deliver food to nonprofit member agencies and also to individuals to help alleviate the society's hunger problem. The supply chain of food banks is characterized by private sector companies, individual donors and governmental agencies providing monetary support and food inventory on the supply side, and the member agencies such as food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, and volunteers delivering support on the demand side. Within the purview of this supply chain, food banks strive to improve their performance, which is commonly measured in terms of the amount of food delivered to the communities in need. Food banks rely on managerial talent that is relatively more constrained than the private sector and also use a voluntary workforce for attaining their performance goals. Considering the unique yet pertinent role of human assets in food banks to manage their supply chain integration initiatives, we employ an intellectual capital framework to analyze the human, organizational, and social capital antecedents of supply chain integration in food banks. Specifically, we suggest that intellectual capital drives supply chain integration in humanitarian organizations. Moreover, we propose specific relationships between the dimensions of intellectual capital. A carefully crafted survey is used to inform our results. The results indicate that human capital significantly impacts social capital, which, in turn, drives all supply chain integration dimensions. We discuss the implications of our findings for managing intellectual capital in the not‐for‐profit sector and offer directions for future research.

“…For example, drawing on the work done by Soo, Tian, Teo, and Cordery (2017) on the role of intellectual capital in the development of absorptive capacity and the mediating role of absorptive capacity on innovation, researchers may explore the role of social capital in the perceptions of innovation climate at both the team and organizational levels.

Over the last two decades, we have witnessed growing empirical research on the concept of innovation climate at both the team and organizational levels. This article systematically reviews the literature surrounding the concept, focusing on its antecedents and outcomes, and empirical work where it has been treated as a moderator. Based on the review, we propose an agenda for future research that highlights the need to incorporate alternative theoretical perspectives to enhance our understanding of the innovation climate concept and its impact in driving team‐ and organizational‐level outcomes. In addition to theoretical future research strands, we also highlight opportunities for empirical advancement of the field. In particular, we highlight the need to examine the negative influence of innovation climate, adopt a more dynamic approach to examine how innovation climates develops over time, and explore the influence of cultural and institutional factors on the development of innovation climate. Practitioner Points Innovation is essential for organizations wishing to remain competitive and thrive in the highly competitive global marketplace. This study consolidates the insights from prior research linking leadership and team/demographic/workplace characteristics to both the team innovation climate and the organizational innovation climate. Understanding innovation climate provides practitioners with insight into the levers they may utilize to encourage innovation within the organization. In addition, the outcomes of innovation climate are synthesized in this paper which provides practitioners with insight into the expected benefits of focusing on developing a climate for innovation.

“…Each are opportunity‐enhancing practices, vital in empowering and motivating employees and increasing network intimacy (Jiang et al, ; Lepak et al, ; Youndt & Snell, ). These practices foster collaboration and team work and provide a stimulating work environment that encourages knowledge sharing and enhances the intensity of social interaction (Chuang et al, ; Collins & Smith, ; Kaše, Paauwe, & Zupan, ; Soo et al, ). They are a feature of a specific horizontal work design that can promote network flexibility and adaptability across different units (Kaše et al, ; Mäkelä & Brewster, ).…”

“…Indeed, business strategy and strategic implementation moderates the relationship between HRM and performance (Michie & Sheehan, ; Peña & Villasalero, ; Takeuchi, ), therefore highlighting the role of organisational capital—the databases, structures, systems, and culture of the organisation—each “central in developing a firm's strategic capability” (Kang & Snell, , Fu et al, , p. 342). The HRM function forms a central part of this system in designing, implementing, reviewing, and institutionalising the HRM practices that form a bedrock and those that constitute TM (Soo et al, ; Youndt & Snell, ). They ensure consistent messages that improve the effectiveness of communication and ultimately strengthen the organisation's culture (Connelly, Certo, Ireland, & Reutzel, ).…”

This paper investigates the link between HRM practices, talent management (TM), and firm performance and examines the role of HRM/business strategy alignment in an emerging market context. Through survey evidence gathered from 198 respondent firms, this study shows that TM, when focused on a series of practices aimed at developing workforce networks and social capital, is a key transmission mechanism mediating the relationship between HRM and firm performance. HRM strategy and business strategy alignment increases these performance impacts but is not an essential component in the HRM-TM-performance link.
