Integrating literatures on innovation strategy, HRM and organizational climate, this study proposes a model explaining how an innovation strategy influences team performance in high-tech firms. Specifically, we argued that an innovation strategy leads to the adoption of a high-performance work system (HPWS), which fosters an innovative team climate that is essential for team performance. These ideas were supported by our analysis of a dataset compromising of multiple respondents (CEOs, HR managers, team members and managers) from 97 knowledge-based teams in 97 Chinese high-tech firms. The findings shed light on the importance of HRM and team climate in linking business strategy to team performance; and have several important practical implications.
