摘要
PurposeFrom a relational perspective, this research aims to answer the following question: How can human resource management (HRM) and innovation in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) be articulated at different levels through gift/counter-gift relationships?Design/methodology/approachThe authors' longitudinal and exploratory study was conducted in an innovative SME that constitutes an "emblematic" case. The data were gathered from diverse sources: 2 life stories, 21 semi-structured interviews, observations and documentary analyses.FindingsThe results provide a dynamic view of the relationship between HRM and innovation through multi-level analysis. The authors consequently propose a three-step process: freeing up, mobilizing and rethinking gifts.Originality/valueThis article examines how to articulate HRM and innovation in SMEs through gift/counter-gift theory. This relationship is analyzed from a relational and multi-level perspective.
