countries and regions in terms of management, science, engineering, technology and labor quality have become the factors that
explain the complexity dynamics of the 21st century. Hence; increasing the international competitive power of the local firms in
the framework of regional development politics, improving entrepreneurship and innovation capacity in local area are highly
important in this century. In this process strategic human resource management (SHRM) is a critical activity for companies.
Some vehicles are required to realize these activities as regulating the environment and for development. In this study, the effects
of SHRM are discussed with the mediator roles of innovation culture and employee ownership. This research develops a
framework for the investigation of job satisfaction through employee ownership, in the light of recent developments in
innovation culture. The aim is to identify the mediating effect of innovation culture on the job satisfaction between strategic
human resource management and employee ownership. To test the propositions, a field survey using questionnaires was
conducted. 479 printed questionnaires were collected from Marmara Region. Especially in private sector, SHRM is directly
effective on employee behaviors. The findings indicate that employee ownership as a critical psychological factor creates a step
between the organizational factors and job satisfaction.
