Technological Capability, Innovative Human Capital and Organizational Sustainability: A Proposed Framework

Saadi, I. A. and Che Razak, R.

Abstract— Technological capability has emerged in the 21st century as crucially significant factor to achieve organization's various successes. Although numerous studies exist on technological capability the majority of existing literature did not address the effect of technological capability on organizational sustainability. In addition, current studies show that innovative human capital has not been studied as an influential variable in this relationship. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the existing knowledge in the field of organizational sustainability by exploring the relative influence of technological capability including (research and development capability, human capital skill, and absorptive capacity) on organizational sustainability with the mediating role of innovative human capital, in manufacturing SMEs in Kurdistan region of Iraq. This paper offers a proposed conceptual framework based on a review of the literature. With the assistance of the proposed model, it is possible to view the links between variables while organizations will have the opportunity to learn how to enhance organizational sustainability through technological capability.

Index Terms— Organizational sustainability, technological capability, R&D capability, human capital skill, absorptive capacity, innovative human capital.
