Abstract

The paper examines the relationship between flexible HRM, innovative work behaviors and firm innovativeness. We developed a theoretical framework which links the constructs together. Innovative work behaviors, flexible HRM along with its 3 sub-dimensions (HR practices flexibility, Employee skill flexibility and Employee behavioral flexibility) and firm innovativeness along with its 3 subdimensions (Product innovation, Process innovation and administrative innovation) are interlinked. Using the sample of 153 collected from the top and middle managers of high technology companies, the data was analyzed whose findings proved that flexible HRM positively impacts innovative work behaviors. Further, innovative work behaviors positively impacts firm innovativeness.
