<p>In a fast movement environment where organizations are struggling to survive and succeed in the market, the focus is increasingly placed on resources that can provide a sustainable competitive advantage. Wright, McMahan and McWilliams (1994), like other researchers have realized that human resources can generate this advantage since they are rare, difficult to substitute and imperfectly imitable. The more human resources are exploited and the more they get enriched and provide added value to the organization through creativity and innovation.</p><p>We note that the prerequisite for the added value creation is individual motivation and competence at work. Thus, it is assumed that the development of human resources management enables to meet the competitiveness challenge. Human resources managers have to enhance staff motivation and to ensure continuous knowledge improvement.</p><p>In this research, we try to explain the link between the human resource management practices and performance through the contingency approach. To do this, we opt for the subgroup analysis as a methodological framework. Our results lead to recognize that the interaction effect between certain human resource management practices and innovation level can provide an explanation as to changes in the level of performance of the Tunisian industrial firms.</p>

Entrepreneurship as a social phenomenon, although strongly associated with running profitable business operations is also used in relation to other forms of human activity. At different times, the approach based on creativity, activity and innovation was used by people to solve social problems as well, but this aspect of using entrepreneurship was only a small part of its use. Although the concept of social entrepreneurship already appeared in practice and was included in literature in the 1970s, its understanding and application was of limited character. The development and wider use of the assumptions of this concept took place in the 1990s. It can be pointed out that these actions were a response to the social demand of that time, because one of the effects of technological progress in the field of computerization, robotization and automation was the increasing number of people threatened by structural unemployment and exclusion. Hence the need to look for effective solutions to emerging social problems appeared, and the decisive roles in these activities played (and continue to play) innovation and entrepreneurship. The effect was the shaping of the concept of social economy, and within it social entrepreneurship and social enterprises. The publication presents the essence and regional diversity of social enterprises and the specificity of human resources within them. The publication is supplemented with examples of “smart practices” used in human resources management, and aimed at creating social and economic values in social enterprises.
