ABSTRACT
This study investigates the impact of human resource flexibility on entrepreneurship in Jordanian telecommunications companies, while examining the mediating role of quality of work life. Drawing on strategic human resource management and entrepreneurial orientation literature, the study adopts a quantitative approach using survey data collected from senior and middle-level managers. Structural Equation Modeling based on Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM) was employed to analyze the data. The findings reveal that human resource flexibility has a significant positive effect on both quality of work life and entrepreneurship. Additionally, the quality of work life significantly influences entrepreneurship and partially mediates the relationship between human resource flexibility and entrepreneurship. The study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence from an emerging market context and offers practical implications for organizations seeking to enhance entrepreneurial behavior through flexible human resource practices.
