Purpose

Based on the human resource (HR) and supply chain integration (SCI) literature, this paper aims to argue that high-involvement human resource practices (HIHRP) work as a complementary capability for SCI, and thus, HIHRP moderates the relationship between SCI and firm productivity. This moderating role is analyzed through the following HIHRP dimensions, namely, ability-enhancing, motivation-enhancing and opportunity-enhancing practices framework.

Design/methodology/approach

Using empirical data collected from a survey of the agri-food sector (horticultural firms of southern Spain), the moderating effects of HIHRP on the relationship between supply chain external integrations (with customers and suppliers) and productivity are examined. Hierarchical regression analysis is used to test the proposed hypotheses.

Findings

The results support that HIHRP has a moderating effect on the SCI/productivity relationship. However, these results are only significant in the case of supplier integration.

Originality/value

This study analyzes HIHRP as a complementary asset in the context of SCI and makes both theoretical and managerial contributions to the SCI literature by empirically analyzing the role of HR practices in enhancing the relationship between SCI and performance.

检查 HIHRP 在外部整合和生产力之间的关系中的调节作用

目的

基于人力资源 (HR) 和供应链整合 (SCI) 文献，本文旨在论证高参与度人力资源实践 (HIHRP) 作为 SCI 的补充能力，因此，HIHRP 调节了 SCI 与供应链整合 (SCI) 之间的关系。企业生产力。这种调节作用通过以下 HIHRP 维度进行分析，即能力增强、动机增强和机会增强实践框架。

设计/方法/方法

使用从农业食品部门（西班牙南部的园艺公司）调查中收集的经验数据，研究了 HIHRP 对供应链外部整合（与客户和供应商）和生产力之间关系的调节作用。层次回归分析用于检验提出的假设。

发现

结果支持 HIHRP 对 SCI/生产力关系具有调节作用。然而，这些结果仅在供应商整合的情况下才有意义。

原创性/价值

本研究将 HIHRP 作为 SCI 背景下的一种补充资产进行分析，并通过实证分析 HR 实践在增强 SCI 与绩效之间的关系方面的作用，对 SCI 文献做出理论和管理贡献。
