Abstract
This study develops a mediation model in which high-performance human resource
practices affect corporate entrepreneurship through two dimensions of knowledge
sharing: knowledge collecting and knowledge donating. In a sample of 292 middle
managers from Malaysia, we find that high-performance human resource practices relate
positively to corporate entrepreneurship, and this relation is mediated by knowledge
sharing. The results suggest that the willingness of middle managers to engage in
knowledge sharing serves as a partial mediator to attenuate this positive relationship.
However, an interesting outcome from this study is that although high-performance
human resource practices are positively related to the willingness of middle managers to
collect and donate knowledge, only middle managers' willingness to donate knowledge
was found to partially mediate the relationship between high-performance human
resource practices and corporate entrepreneurship. We discuss the theoretical and
managerial implications for human resource management research and practice.
