Abstract

Objective: This study investigates the key factors that encourage employees to participate in knowledge-sharing activities to improve the performance of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia. Research Design & Methods: The research employed a quantitative explanatory design with a cross-sectional survey approach. Primary data were collected from 374 MSME owners in the food and beverage sector. The proposed research model and hypothesised relationships were analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). Findings: The results show that tacit and explicit knowledge sharing are influenced by different determinants and lead to different performance outcomes. Trust and employee attitudes strongly promote tacit knowledge sharing, which positively affects marketing performance. Conversely, explicit knowledge sharing is mainly shaped by trust and organisational structure and has a greater impact on financial performance. Overall, the findings illustrate various mechanisms through which knowledge-sharing practices enhance MSME performance. Implications & Recommendations: The study offers useful insights for policymakers in designing policies that support knowledge-sharing initiatives among MSMEs. These policies may help enterprises improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and increase profitability. In addition, this research contributes to the knowledge management literature by proposing a model specifically suited to the Indonesian MSME context. Contribution & Value Added: By distinguishing between tacit and explicit knowledge sharing, this study extends existing research through an empirical model that demonstrates how different organisational and individual factors shape knowledge-sharing behaviour and generate varied performance outcomes, thereby reinforcing knowledge management theory in small business settings.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to empirically test the impact of Green human resource management (Green HR practices) and green innovation on the performance of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Research Design & Methods: A quantitative study with SEM-PLS was used. Data were gathered from 250 MSME owners and managers in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Findings: Results showed that Green HR practices and green innovation positively impact both organizational agility and MSMEs' performance. Organizational agility partially mediated the relationship between green human resource practices, green innovation, and MSMEs' performance. Implications & Recommendations: MSMEs must implement green human resource practices and green innovation to sustain competitive advantage and economic viability. Efforts should be channeled towards employees' skill development in environmental management, building a green culture in the organization, and developing green technologies to make the organization more agile. Contribution & Value Added: The present study empirically validates a combined model linking green human resource practices, green innovation, organizational agility, and the business performance of MSMEs enterprises, which is novel and has not been previously investigated to the best of the researcher's knowledge. This study extends previous research by emphasizing the strategic role of organizational agility as a mediating mechanism linking Green Human Resource (Green HR) practices, green innovation, and MSMEs' performance.
