Abstract:

In order to provide channels of human resource management in promoting organizational learning, structural equation models were used for identifying the differences in the coupling dimensions between human resource archetypes and organizational learning modes based on sample data of 219 manufacturing firms with more than 100 employees. It is found that the coupling of the cooperative human resource archetype and exploitative learning is reflected in the mechanistic structure dimension; the coupling of the cooperative human resource archetype and exploratory learning is reflected in the two dimensions of the mechanistic structure and specialist cognition; the coupling of the entrepreneurial human resource archetype and exploitative learning is reflected in the two dimensions of generalist cognition and cognitive trust; the coupling of the entrepreneurial human resource archetype and exploratory learning is reflected in the dimension of generalist cognition. When manufacturing firms pursue exploitative learning, it is suggested that they pay attention to the structure dimension management of the collaborative human resource archetype and the cognition and affect dimensions management of the entrepreneurial human resource archetype. When manufacturing firms pursue exploratory learning, it is suggested pay attention to the structure and cognition dimensions management of the collaborative human resource archetype and the cognition dimension management of the entrepreneurial human resource archetype.
