IV.The influences of human capital on innovation performance. 1.The executives’ direction ability of vision supervisors and the investment and exploitation of human capital both have significant positive effects on the innovation of products. Among which the investment and exploitation of human capital effects more than the executives’ direction ability of vision supervisors does. 2.The entrepreneurship of employees has a significant negative effect on the innovation of products; the excellent hire has no significant effect. 3.The executives’ direction ability of vision supervisors and the investment and exploitation of human capital both have significant positive effects on the innovation of manufacture. Among which the investment and exploitation of human capital effects more than the executives’ direction ability of vision supervisors does. 4.The entrepreneurship of employees and excellent hire has no significant effect on the innovation of manufacture. V.The moderating effects on innovation performance from the interaction of human capital and knowledge worker management. 1.The interactions of excellent hire and leadership of knowledge, the working styles with challenge, and reasonable evaluation of performance have significant positive effect on innovation of products. 2.The interaction of the executives’ direction ability of vision supervisors and organic designs of work has significant negative effect on innovation of products. 3.The interaction of the investment and exploitation of human capital and organic designs of work has significant positive effect on innovation of products. 4.The interaction of excellent hire and the plane of employees’ development has significant positive effect on innovation of manufacture. 5.The interaction of the investment and exploitation of human capital and reasonable evaluation of performance has significant negative effect on innovation of manufacture. 6.The interaction of the executives’ direction ability of vision supervisors and the promotion of knowledge exchange has significant positive effect on innovation of manufacture. 7.The interaction of the entrepreneurship of employees and the promotion of knowledge exchange has significant negative effect on innovation of manufacture.
