本研究以策略性人力資源管理的行為觀點為基礎，針對電子業的管理者與員工進行實證，以探討公司內部以團隊為基礎的人力資源管理措施、知識創造與新產品發展績效之間的關係；同時也將吸收能力視為中介變數，探討是否以團隊為基礎的人力資源管理措施會透過吸收能力來影響知識創造；另外本研究也將組織氣候視為調節變數，探討是否組織氣候會調節知識創造與新產品發展績效之間的關係。
本研究採用結構方程模式來進行整體模式配適度的確認與研究假設的驗證。以「公司」為分析的層級，本研究以中華民國證券交易所公告公開上市上櫃的803家電子公司為樣本來源，由研發單位主管與三名員工分別填寫問卷。本研究之樣本回收率為11.96%。
經由實證分析可以得到下列研究結果：一、以團隊為基礎的工作設計，以及以團隊為基礎的績效評估與獎酬系統與知識創造之間有正向顯著關係。二、組織整體的吸收能力具有顯著中介效果。意即以團隊為基礎的人力資源管理措施會增進或是影響組織的吸收能力，吸收能力則進而會正向影響組織內部的知識創造流程。三、組織內的知識創造與新產品發展績效間具有正向關係。
本研究同時將『以團隊為基礎的人力資源管理措施』、『知識創造』與『新產品發展績效』放在一個模型中探討，並且驗證了這些變數之間的關係，這是相關研究領域中較為少見的。此外，將吸收能力視為中介變數，並且證實組織所施行的以團隊為基礎的人力資源管理措施除了會直接影響知識創造的流程外，也可以透過吸收能力的中介效果來影響知識創造的流程，也是本研究的發現

Previous work on human resource management practices, knowledge creation, and new product development performance has emphasized on their importance individually. In our research, we propose a model that discusses all of them at one time. We develop a set of hypotheses concerning the relationships among group-based human resource management practices, knowledge creation and new product development performance. Besides, we also test mediating effect of absorptive capacity and moderating effect of social climate.
After collecting multi-sources data from 89 high-tech companies, we use structural equation modeling (SEM) to investigate research hypotheses. Our findings show that there are positive relationships between group-based human resource management practices and knowledge creation. Secondly, absorptive capacity of the company fully mediates the relationship between group-based human resource management practices and knowledge creation. Thirdly, there is a positive relationship between knowledge creation and new product development performance.
The most important contribution of this research is to have group-based human resource management practices, knowledge creation and new product development performance been discussed in the same model. Besides, we also prove that theses three variables have significant relationships which haven’t been found out in previous studies. Furthermore, we also treat absorptive capacity as mediator, and demonstrate that the mediating effect does exist. Both findings may contribute to relevant academic research fields and practical implementation.
