Abstract: Based on the survey data of top managers from 362 companies at three time points, the impact mechanism of the high-commitment human resources management practice on radical innovation is investigated from the perspective of process-based and content-based human resources management integration. It is found that: 1)the high-commitment human resources management practice is significantly related to external knowledge acquisition; 2)the external knowledge acquisition mediates the impact of high-commitment human resources management practice on radical innovation; 3)the strength of the human resources management practice moderates the relationship between high-commitment human resources management practice and external knowledge acquisition. When the strength of the human resources management practice is stronger, the relationship between high-commitment human resources management practice and external knowledge acquisition is higher; 4)the strength of the human resources management practice moderates the mediating effect of external knowledge acquisition on the relationship between high-commitment human resources management practice and radical innovation.

Key words: high-commitment human resources management practice; strength of the human resources management practice; radical innovation; external knowledge acquisition
