Employees' innovative work behaviors (IWB) are essential for the organization as a whole to achieve high development and a competitive advantage in the market. Every firm must develop its system for boosting its employees' IWB as part of subsequent planning to attain the goal, particularly through HRM practices. We might have less information about which practices matter or how much they will correlate with IWB, but existing literature proves that they can have a significant impact on employees' IWB. The current study, therefore, addresses two aspects of HRM: training and development and rewards, to determine which aspect is most helpful in predicting an employee's IWB. The best HRM practices for boosting IWB should also be identified, along with the theoretical justifications for these methods and the relationship between HRM practices and IWB. We used a questionnaire survey to gather information from 170 employees of a manufacturing company in Penang, Malaysia, in order to analyze this research. The connections between all variables were examined using SPSS. In this study, the means for each variable were also presented. According to this research, a high mean indication with the values of μ=4.74 for rewards, μ=4.36 for training and development, and μ=4.70 for rewards IWB was found. The highest correlation between IWB and training and development was found in the Pearson correlation data (r=.362, p=.000), followed by rewards (r=.767, p=.000). The study's conclusions can help human resource practitioners design an HRM system that promotes inventive employee behavior and fosters an innovative workplace.

2021-06 , Ai Tong, Aphassra , Ummi Naiemah Saraih , Wan Sallha Yusoff

The purpose of this research is to investigate if there are significant influences of corporate performances on service innovation. There are four internal variables under the domain of corporate performance; where the four stated independent variables are depicted based on the past researchers’ studies including of organizational culture, management commitment, training and development, as well as organizational communication. As manufacturing sector played a central role in its endeavour towards the developing countries, service innovation in the manufacturing-based organization is important to transform the traditional operation to become more competitive. Convenience sampling method has been used in this research. The population of this research is the employees who work in one of the manufacturing-based organization located in Penang, Malaysia. The number of completed questionnaires that given back is 201 respondents. Pilot study has been computed to the developed questionnaires validity and reliability. Data analysis was performed using the IBM Statistical Package for Society Sciences (SPSS) Version 25. Research finding has revealed that there were two hypotheses related to organizational culture and organizational communication have significant influence on service innovation. These imply that culture and communication develop sustainable competitive advantage and growth of corporate performance on service innovation. Whereas the other two hypotheses related to management commitment, and training and development have no significant influence on service innovation. This due to the lack of commitment from the management being portrayed to the employees in the organization; or the provided training and development is inadequate to the position of the employees.

2021-06 , Sabri, Siti Shalim , Ummi Naiemah Saraih

The purpose of conducting this study to explore the significant influence of Human Resources Management Practices (HRMP) on Innovation Work Behaviour (IWB). In this research there are four HRMP functions such compensation system, training and development (T&D), information sharing and supervisory support. This research is carried out by using a quantitative method through the distribution of questionnaires. Convenience sampling has been utilised in this research. The population of this study are employees of a manufacturing company located in the Northern Region of Malaysia, and the number of respondents who answered the questionnaire are 310. Data collected were classified, coded and then presented using SPSS. Based on the descriptive analyses, it is confirmed that the employees in this manufacturing company have high mean of rate for all variables: supervisory support (μ=4.80), information sharing (μ=4.79), compensation system (μ=4.76), Training and Development (μ=4.72) and IWB (μ=4.70). The result for correlation analyses presented that there is a strong influence of Training and Development (r=0.851); compensation system (r=0.621); information sharing (r=0.558); and supervisory support (r=0.532) towards employee’ IWB. Next, the accepted hypotheses are related to the influence of compensation system (β=0.147, p=0.003) and T&D (β=0.750, p=0.000) towards employees’ IWB. The implication presented that by providing a fair compensation system and introducing an appropriate T&D program, the company can increase the level of employees’ IWB. Given that, this study delivers an extensive knowledge on the influences of compensation system, T&D, information sharing and supervisory support on employees’ IWB.
