This paper was aimed to investigate the impact of HRM practices on innovation capability and this study uses regression analysis to test the hypotheses in a sample of 357 Algerian SMEs in 12 sectors. According to the existing literature, innovation capability is an important strategy that will help firms having more competitive advantages. In this paper, four dimensions of HRM practices (recruitment, training, career development, performance appraisal) were chosen as best practices in Algerian SMEs. The results show that three HRM practices (training, career development, performance appraisal) are found to be correlated with the innovation capability with the exception for recruitment. These results confirm the theoretical prediction that HRM practices can indeed be a valuable resource for firms that wish to innovate
