Abstract

      This study aimed to (1) examine the relationship between the human resource management (HRM) context and organizational performance, (2) assess the influence of organizational innovation on work performance within business organizations, and (3) analyze the combined influence of HRM context and organizational innovation in enhancing operational efficiency and employee productivity among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) located in Bangkok and Pathum Thani Provinces. A mixed methods research design was employed. Quantitative data were collected from 300 executives, managers, and business owners registered as legal entities through questionnaires, while qualitative data were obtained from in-depth interviews with 12 key informants. The quantitative results from the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis revealed that HRM context had both direct and indirect positive effects on organizational performance through organizational innovation, which also exerted a significant direct impact on performance.
      The qualitative findings were consistent with the quantitative results, indicating that effective HRM practices such as digital skill training, internal communication, and performance-based compensation enhanced innovation in products and processes, thereby improving collaboration and overall work efficiency. The study highlights that organizations should integrate human resource development and innovation promotion strategies to sustainably strengthen business competitiveness in the long term.
