Resumen
Objetivo – La necesidad de innovación que tienen hoy en día las empresas nunca fue mayor, dado que la innovación les ayuda a enfrentarse a entornos turbulentos, proporcionándoles una ventaja competitiva sostenible. En este sentido, la comunidad científica defiende que un entorno innovador exitoso necesita de una mano de obra bien formada. No obstante, existe un gap en la literatura a la hora de analizar cómo la formación de la mano de obra impulsa el efecto positivo de la innovación sobre el rendimiento empresarial en entornos donde la innovación es clave, sobre todo en sectores altamente tecnológicos como es el caso del sector farmacéutico. Basándonos en estudios previos, nos apoyamos en la literatura que estudia la innovación y la formación de la mano de obra y consideramos ésta última como una variable que media la relación innovación- rendimiento empresarial. Así, valoramos el impacto de la innovación sobre el rendimiento empresarial y adquirimos nuevas percepciones sobre la relación innovación-rendimiento empresarial incluyendo la formación como una variable que impulsa dicha relación. Diseño / metodología – Aplicamos una técnica de modelización de ecuaciones estructurales partial least squares (PLS-SEM) sobre una muestra de empresas farmacéuticas alemanas. Los datos fueron obtenidos a mediados del año 2014 por medio del procedimiento computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI). Se obtuvieron 200 respuestas válidas de CEOs. Resultados – En primer lugar, el estudio demuestra que tanto la innovación como la formación de la mano de obra tienen un efecto positivo y significativo sobre el rendimiento empresarial. En segundo lugar, se demuestra que efectivamente la formación de la mano de obra tiene un efecto mediador sobre la relación innovación- resultados empresariales. Así, nuestro trabajo ayuda a explicar el mecanismo mediante el cual la innovación se transforma eficazmente en un mayor rendimiento empresarial. Originalidad / valor – Arrojamos luz sobre la relación innovación-formación de la mano de obra a la hora de generar altos niveles de resultados empresariales en entornos turbulentos. Además, analizamos esta circunstancia en el sector farmacéutico, un sector en el que paradójicamente existe una escasez de literatura científica en la materia.
