/0 Comments/in /by

This study examines the effects of intellectual capital on innovation performance mediated by knowledge sharing and innovation culture, focusing on startups fostered by Sebelas Maret University (UNS). The study evaluates the impact of human capital, relational capital, and structural capital on innovation performance, as well as the mediating roles of knowledge sharing and innovation culture. The findings reveal that human capital has a positive but insignificant effect on innovation performance, while relational and structural capital show positive and significant effects. Human capital, relational capital, and structural capital have a positive and significant influence on knowledge sharing. In the context of innovation culture, human capital and structural capital have significant effects, while relational capital has no significant impact. Knowledge sharing serves as an important mediator in the relationship between human capital and innovation performance, although its role is weaker for relational capital and structural capital. Conversely, innovation culture shows limited mediating effects on innovation performance, with structural capital being the main contributor to fostering an ecosystem that supports an innovative culture. This study provides practical implications for startup managers, emphasizing the importance of strategically leveraging intellectual capital. Recommended strategies include developing human capital through training programs, enhancing relational capital through strategic partnerships, and strengthening structural capital by implementing flexible and collaborative systems.

The Effect of Trust, Knowledge Sharing, on Employee Performance through Organizational Commitment as an Intervening Variable in Shipping Companies in Surabaya

/in /by

Organizations strive to achieve success because the business environment is very competitive. Regardless of the size of the company and the company’s market share, every organization strives to manage employees so that they are able to work well. The company will manage its employees so that they run in line with the company’s goals, because one of the things that must be paid attention to in the company is the performance of its employees. Good employee performance can be seen from quality work results, producing quantities according to company standards, being on time, having high attendance, and being able to work together with fellow employees (Mathis and Jackson, in Damayanti et al., 2018). According to Mahmudi (2015:21), employee performance can be influenced by various factors, one of which is personal factors such as commitment. Based on Zehir et al. (2012), organizational commitment is a driver of organizational success, having the desire to fight for the organization, and belief in the goals and values ​​of the organization. Organizational commitment is a variable that is influenced by several factors. One factor that can influence organizational commitment is trust (Redha et al., 2022). Aziz and Abadiyah (2022) confirmed that there is a real influence of organizational commitment on employee performance, whereas Kertabudi and Aripin (2014) proved that there is no influence of organizational commitment on employee performance. Mukri et al. (2017), Hardiani and Prasetya (2018) prove the influence of trust on employee performance, however, research by Prasetyo et al. (2018) proves the opposite, namely that trust has no effect on employee performance. Meanwhile, trust has been proven to have no effect on employee performance with organizational commitment as an intervening variable by Aziz and Abadiyah (2022). Referring to the background described previously, it can be seen that there are still inconsistent research results regarding the influence of Trust, Knowledge Sharing, on Employee Performance through Organizational Commitment as an Intervening Variable.
