Abstract :This study investigates the relationship between high-performance work systems (HPWS) and innovation behavior (IB) using structural equation modeling. The research was carried out on a sample of 205 managers and employees at diverse hospitals located in Istanbul. The normal distribution conformity of quantitative variables was assessed by examining the skewness values against the threshold points of the kurtosis and skewness values. The independent sample t-test was also used to compare two normally distributed groups, while the one-way Anova test was used to compare three or more groups. Findings reveal a positive and significant effect of HPWS on IB. Moreover, demographic factors such as gender, age, education, tenure, and status are examined for their impact on HPWS and innovation behavior, which yields varying and significant outcomes. The study contributes to theoretical understanding by identifying the mechanisms by which HPWS foster innovation and providing useful insights for organizational practitioners seeking to leverage human capital to achieve sustainable competitive advantage.
