We investigated the impact of lean management strategy on organisational innovation. Integrating lean management and human resource management, we consider how and why different types of reductions in the workforce can influence the relationship between lean management strategy and organisational innovation in different ways. Specifically, we examined the moderating effects of collective voluntary turnover and layoffs in the relationship between lean management strategy and innovation. We tested our hypotheses using data from a large longitudinal dataset. We found that lean management strategy was significantly associated with organisational innovation. We also found that employee layoffs positively moderated the relationship between lean management strategy and innovation, whereas employee turnover negatively moderated the relationship between lean management strategy and innovation. Overall, we found that the effects of layoffs and collective voluntary turnover on the relationship between lean management strategy and organisational innovation.

我们调查了精益管理战略对组织创新的影响。将精益管理和人力资源管理相结合，我们考虑了不同类型的劳动力削减如何以及为什么会以不同的方式影响精益管理战略和组织创新之间的关系。具体来说，我们研究了集体自愿离职和裁员在精益管理战略与创新之间的关系中的调节作用。我们使用来自大型纵向数据集的数据测试了我们的假设。我们发现精益管理战略与组织创新显着相关。我们还发现，员工裁员正向调节精益管理战略与创新之间的关系，而员工流失负向调节精益管理战略与创新之间的关系。总体而言，我们发现裁员和集体自愿离职对精益管理战略与组织创新之间的关系有影响。
