ABSTRACT
Purpose- The purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of team perception and learning orientation on firms’ research and development performance.
Methodology- The data which were collected by a survey from 407 people working in the R&D departments of firms which operate across various industries in Turkey, were analysed. While the theoretical adequacy of the relationships between variables were tested by confirmatory factor analysis, the impact of team perception and learning orientation on R&D performance was examined by regression analysis.
Findings- The study found significant and positive impact of both team perception and learning orientation on firms’ R&D performance. When team perception and learning orientation were regressed on R&D performance together, a stronger link between dependent variables and R&D performance was observed.
Conclusion- Strong support from top management for team-based work and encouragement for continuous learning through HR policies, empowerment and job enlargement were suggested. The study provided empirical evidence about the predictors of R&D and innovation performance which is scant in the extant literature.
Keywords: Team perception, learning orientation, R&D performance, confirmatory factor analysis, regression analysis.
JEL Codes: L19, M10, O31, O32
