Abstract

PurposeThis study explored the relationship between employees' cognitive capabilities and firm performance by exploring the moderating role of decision-making style and the mediating effect of knowledge creation. Understanding the role of cognitive capabilities in value creation is crucial for human resource management to achieve the anticipated organizational performance.Design/methodology/approachStructural equation modeling, cognitive skills theory, cognitive skills acquisition theory and a knowledge creation framework were applied.FindingsThe first finding suggests that only A-shaped skills predict higher knowledge creation, while T-shaped skills do not. Second, knowledge creation predicts higher financial performance and a lower level of financial uncertainty. Third, T-shaped skills have no indirect effect on financial performance or financial uncertainty. Fourth, A-shaped skills exerted significant indirect effects on financial performance and uncertainty. Fifth, the rational decision-making style did not moderate the link between knowledge creation and financial performance, as opposed to the intuitive decision-making style.Originality/valueA review of existing research indicates a lack of studies examining the effect of cognitive skills on organizational outcomes and contingencies under which cognitive skills lead to superior outcomes. This study advances research on T-shaped and A-shaped skills and knowledge creation by empirically exploring their interrelationships with financial performance. Managerial implications and suggestions for future research are also highlighted.

员工认知能力、知识创造和决策方式在预测企业绩效中的作用
目的通过考察决策风格的调节作用和知识创造的中介作用,探讨员工认知能力与企业绩效之间的关系。理解认知能力在价值创造中的作用对于人力资源管理实现预期的组织绩效是至关重要的。设计/方法/方法结构方程建模、认知技能理论、认知技能习得理论和知识创造框架。第一个发现表明,只有a型技能预示着更高的知识创造,而t型技能则不然。其次,知识创造预示着更高的财务绩效和更低的财务不确定性。第三,t型技能对财务绩效或财务不确定性没有间接影响。第四,a型技能对财务绩效和不确定性具有显著的间接影响。第五,与直觉决策风格相反,理性决策风格没有调节知识创造与财务绩效之间的联系。对现有研究的回顾表明,缺乏关于认知技能对组织结果的影响以及认知技能导致卓越结果的偶然事件的研究。本研究通过实证探索t型和a型技能和知识创造与财务绩效的相互关系,推进了对它们的研究。本文还强调了管理意义和对未来研究的建议。
