Pengkomersialan penyelidikan merupakan salah satu penyumbang kepada pertumbuhan ekonomi negara. Kerajaan Malaysia telah mewujudkan pelbagai kemudahan dan persekitaran bagi menggalakkan pengkomersialan di negara ini. Namun begitu, kadar pengkomersialan hasil penyelidikan di Malaysia masih rendah dan kurang memuaskan. Oleh yang demikian, kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti hubungan antara sumber modal insan, amalan inovasi terbuka dan pengkomersialan penyelidikan serta kesan amalan inovasi terbuka sebagai pengantara antara sumber modal insan dan pengkomersialan penyelidikan. Data dikumpulkan melalui tinjauan soal selidik dan menggunakan pendekatan persampelan rawak mudah. Seramai 155 ahli akademik telah melengkapkan tinjauan tersebut. Perisian SmartPLS 3 digunakan untuk menguji hipotesis kajian menggunakan pemodelan persamaan berstruktur. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahawa amalan inovasi terbuka adalah signifikan terhadap pengkomersialan penyelidikan dan berperanan sebagai pengantara antara sumber modal insan dan pengkomersialan penyelidikan. Namun demikian, sumber modal insan tidak mempunyai hubungan yang signifikan dengan pengkomersialan penyelidikan. Secara keseluruhannya, dapatan kajian membuktikan bahawa sumber modal insan mempunyai hubungan dengan pengkomersialan penyelidikan melalui amalan inovasi terbuka sebagai pengantara. Ini menunjukkan bahawa sumber modal insan sahaja tidak cukup untuk hasil penyelidikan dapat dikomersialkan tetapi memerlukan amalan inovasi terbuka.
Research commercialization is one of the contributors to the country's economic growth. The Malaysian government has created various facilities and environments to encourage commercialization in the country. However, the rate of commercialization of research results in Malaysia is still low and unsatisfactory. Therefore, this study aims to identify the relationship between human capital resources, open innovation practices and the commercialization of research as well as the effect of open innovation practices as a mediator between human capital resources and the commercialization of research. Data was collected through a questionnaire survey and using a simple random sampling approach. A total of 155 academics completed the survey. Smart PLS3 software was used to test the research hypotheses using structural equation modelling. The results of the analysis show that open innovation practices are significant to the commercialization of research and acts as a mediator between human capital resources and the commercialization of research. However, human capital resources do not have a significant relationship with the research commercialization. Overall, the findings of the study prove that human capital resources have a relationship with the commercialization of research through open innovation practices as mediators. This shows that human capital resources alone are not enough for research results to be commercialized but require open innovation practices.
