Abstract
This quantitative study discusses the relationship between human resources management
strategies and sustainable competitive advantage; through strategic agility as an
intermediate variable. The problem is that Yemeni companies operate in a highly
competitive environment characterized by instability and the need to adopt new systems
of strategic concepts، systems، and mechanisms that are compatible with the requirements
of modern times. And the creation of an efficient human cadre working according to
proactive strategic directions for the challenges and exploiting opportunities to achieve
sustainable competitive advantage. The study objectives are; to verify the impact of
human resources management strategies on sustainable competitive advantage through
the intermediate role of strategic agility. For this purpose، the study developed a
theoretical framework، in which the virtual structure was built on the three study
variables. The theoretical descriptive approach was then used، to test the theoretical
framework of the (554) large and medium Yemeni manufacturing companies. A simple
random sample was chosen according to formula Thompson’s (2012). The sample size
was (227) companies، for the data collection (454) questionnaires distributed to the
companies Managers and their deputies. Data were analyzed using; exploratory statistical
methods، global empirical analysis، and structural equation modeling (SEM) to test the
quality of the measurements used. The study findings revealed that: A direct positive
impact of human resources management strategies on sustainable competitive advantage
was found، as well as a direct positive impact of human resource management strategies
on strategic agility، as well as the direct partial positive impact of strategic agility on
sustainable competitive advantage. It also confirmed the impact of strategic agility on the
relationship between human resource management strategies and sustainable competitive
advantage in manufacturing companies. This confirms the validity of the proposed
theoretical model and the data of the study society. This is especially important for the
industrial companies، especially the Yemeni ones، in dealing with the competitive
challenges facing them and remaining within the framework of competition in the
troubled business environment.
