Abstract(s)
Innovation is fundamental to organization performance and survival in a continuously changing and
highly competitive world. In organizations, innovation occurs primary and foremost through purposeful
and discretionary actions of knowledgeable and motivated individuals. However, despite some insightful
studies, studies addressing the role of HRM in promoting innovation are in short supply. An enabling
work environment—resources, motivation, and management practices—may be crucial for creativity
and thus innovation. HRM policies and interventions have the potential to promote trust, cooperation,
and collective codes and language. Therefore, the aim of this chapter is twofold: 1) to review the role
of creativity and knowledge sharing for innovation and 2) to review the role of HRM for stimulating
innovation through creativity and knowledge sharing. In so doing, the authors seek to shed light on the
conceptual and analytical connections between motivation, creativity, knowledge, innovation, and HRM.
