  • The impact of HRM on European public sector innovation performance [Elektronski vir]
    Ropret, Marko, 1982- ...
    The paper was motivated by the fact that human resource management (furthermore: HRM) has long been recognised as a critical innovation performance factor. Yet, the link between HRM and innovation ... performance has been given much less attention in some sectors, the public sector in particular. Therefore, we defined our research question as follows: which are the key HRM factors of innovative EU-28 public sector organisations? The answer to the research question was sought in three phases. The first phase of the research consisted of data acquisition. We used anonymised microdata from the European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS), covering 28 EU member countries. In the 2nd phase, by applying some of the less known EWCS indicators, the EU-28 sample was divided into two groups: innovators (public sector units, which have introduced at least one technological or at least one non-technological novelty during the last 3 years) and non-innovators (public sector units, which did not introduce any technological or non-technological novelties). Finally, in the 3rd phase, the aim of the study was achieved by applying a t-test, identifying in which HRM factors (management support, employee cooperation, training, recruitment/suitability of competencies, changes and innovation within work, job satisfaction, wages) the groups of innovators and non-innovators significantly differ. The research findings suggest that innovative public sector organisations are devoting significantly more attention to the majority of HRM factors than their non-innovative counterparts. Consequently, HRM is indicated as a critical factor, fostering innovation performance in public sector organisations. This efficient use of human resources proves especially important due to resource limitations, an implication of the financial and economic crisis.
