Abstract
This study aims to investigate the moderating effect of workplace conditions, namely occupational safety and health, employee development, employee retention, diversity and employee relation, on the relationship between innovation investment and company performance. The study was conducted using the annual report for year 2007 and 2008 as the main source of data collection. The regression results revealed that there is no difference between the direct effect and interaction effect results. The finding shows that the workplace conditions are not significantly contributed to the ROE in the interaction effect. However, the employee development was noted to have negatively significant contribution to the ROE in the direct effect model which it may be due to the short period of observation time. Accordingly, the study provides the key players the information on the possible impact of innovation investment and the workplace conditions on firm performance that can be used in strategic investment decision making.
