Abstract:In what way HRM activities influence the implementation of innovative ideas that are submitted through online suggestion systems is still unknown. With the use of a multiple case study and interviews with a total of 28 employees of four different cases, the way these activities have an influence on the implementation has become clear. The different HRM activities that emerged were integrated into the AMO-model (Bos-Nehles et al., 2017) to give a better insight into the areas they influence and have been examined to what extent they have a positive or a negative influence. Moreover, this effect appears to be influenced by multiple contextual factors that determine whether HRM activities enhance or inhibit the implementation of innovative ideas submitted through an online suggestion system. It is important for organizations that work with an online suggestion system to know the context in which they try to implement ideas and how these seven points of attention are integrated in the organization. In this way, the nine HRM activities that have emerged have a better chance of strengthening the implementation phase rather than deteriorating it. Next to this, the online suggestion system itself can also be a supporting tool for the HRM activities. So, not only can HRM activities enhance or inhibit the implementation of innovative ideas that are submitted in an online suggestion system, but the online suggestion system itself can also be put to use to enhance the implementation of innovative ideas.
