In current competitive era in order to remain competitive, organizations need to adopt new strategies such as “Practices-resources-uses-performance linkage”. Based on RBV and KBV, this study is conceptualized on this linkage. Practices in this linkage are knowledge-based HR which are applied on resource as human capital, and it ultimately impacts on individual absorptive capacity depicting uses in this linkage and then it enhances performance particularly employee innovative behavior in this model. Knowledge-based HR practices are important facets for gaining maximum output through utilization of resource (human capital). Innovative behavior (performance) is truly based on human centric approach and it can be attained through consideration of knowledge involving concepts, ideas and prototypes which leads to novelty. This is still unexplored yet because of dearth of knowledge. Therefore, this research is proposed to study this linkage underlined under theories KBV and RBV.
