The impact of ability-, motivation- and opportunity-enhancing strategic human resource management on performance: the mediating roles of emotional capability and intellectual capital

We used data from 441 managers of science and technology enterprises to empirically test the dynamic capability path and resource-based path of ability-enhancing, motivation-enhancing and opportunity-enhancing (AMO) strategic human resource management as influencing factors on performance. The results show that AMO-enhancing strategic human resource management affects organizational performance through organizational emotional capability and organizational intellectual capital in the start-up stage. In the development stage, ability- and opportunity-enhancing strategic human resource management affects performance through organizational emotional capability and organizational intellectual capital, while motivation-enhancing strategic human resource management has no significant impact on performance. In the mature stage, ability-enhancing strategic human resource management influences performance through organizational emotional capability, while motivation- and opportunity-enhancing strategic human resource management has no significant effect on performance
