AbstractHow firms’ dynamic capabilities lead to their competitive advantage and improved firm performance has been a core issue and full of debates. In this research, we theorize that dynamic capabilities, which could be defined by three distinct dimensions (sensing capability, integration capability, and reconfiguration capability), facilitate different types of innovation that in turn improve firm performance. Based on a sample of 204 Chinese firms, results from partial least squares structural equation modeling analyses generally support our arguments despite some nuanced differences existing among different dimensions of dynamic capabilities. This study contributes to dynamic capabilities literature by reducing the scarcity of empirical research and by uncovering the mechanisms through which dynamic capabilities influence firm performance.

The current study, which purposed to examine the mediating role of Employee Engagement (EE) in the relationship of Servant Leadership (SL) with the Organizational Performance (OP), was carried out in Jordan. The researchers distributed a questionnaire to 277 participants working in the private airline sector. The study’s findings showed that SL was positively linked with Employee Satisfaction (ES) and Employee Retention (ER) as indicators for OP. Finally; the findings indicated that EE partially mediates the relationships of SL with employee satisfaction and employee retention. The current research is the first empirical study of the airline sector in Jordan. It is also the first to focus on EE as a mediator of the effect of SL and employee retention using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) for analyzing the data collected from employees working in the airline sector.

Exploratory Innovation

We studied the formation of leaders' habitual behaviors and the impact of leaders' existing and potential capabilities on ambidextrous (i.e., exploitative and exploratory) innovation activities. Leadership habitual domain (LHD) theory was applied from an endogenous perspective to analyze the impact mechanism of LHD on ambidextrous innovation via the mediating role of dynamic capabilities. We used structural equation modeling to test data collected from 205 team leaders in East China. Results showed that LHD was positively associated with both exploitative and exploratory innovation, and that dynamic capabilities mediated these relationships. Thus, team leaders should renew, reconfigure, and expand their LHD by sensing and seizing opportunities when implementing ambidextrous innovation.

In this paper, the main objective is to examine inbound open innovation adoption by exploring its antecedents in terms of dynamic organizational capabilities, its implications on innovation performance, but also its mediating role between these capabilities and Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) innovation performance. Therefore, a conceptual model was proposed and empirically tested on the basis of data extracted from a survey involving a sample of 228 Tunisian manufacturing SMEs and analyzed through the Structural Equation Modeling method. In doing so, this paper adds to the existing literature on open innovation in SMEs and fills a neglected theoretical gap by proposing a link between dynamic capabilities theory and the open innovation paradigm, two literatures that have little overlap, to improve current understanding of innovation performance in SMEs. Ultimately, by empirically confirming the significant relationship between dynamic organizational capacities and innovation performance through the mediating role of open innovation, our results are mainly relevant for entrepreneurs and innovation managers in SMEs who can find valuable guidance on how to strengthen innovation performance under the nexus between the dynamic capabilities perspective and open innovation by focusing on the development of three capabilities that are dynamic capabilities, absorptive capability, and appropriation capabilities.

Mediating Role

Performance of PT WIKON in two consecutive years indicated run into downtrend from the year 2018 to the year 2019. Low levels of Entrepreneurial Orientation, Innovation Capability, and Market Orientation have been suspected as factors leading to the performance of PT WIKA Industri & Konstruksi.  The objective of this study is to investigate Market Orientation as the mediator of relationship Entrepreneurial Orientation and Innovation Capability on Firm Performance in a construction company. However, study-related Market Orientation as a mediator on the indirect effect of Innovation Capability and Firm Performance is still rare, therefore research on this subject can be seen as Novelty. There are Six theory-based hypotheses are measured. This research employs a quantitative approach with empirical evidence of employees and BOD of PT WIKA Industri & Konstruksi. Survey data are from 93 respondents were analyzed used structural equation modeling (SEM). The findings of this research showed that Market Orientation has a positive effect on Firm Performance. Surprisingly, Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) and Innovation Capability (IC) independently do not have a direct effect on Firm Performance. The Effect of Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) on Firm Performance (FP) is mediated by Market Orientation. Likewise, the effect of Innovation Capability (IC) on Firm Performance (FP) is mediated by Market Orientation. These results suggest that Entrepreneurial Orientation and Innovation Capability should focus on Market Orientation to improve the overall Firm Performance. Besides, it is highly recommended to middle management and above of PT WIKA Industri & Konstruksi should focus and allocate resources to Market Orientation to improve their Firm Performance.

PurposeThe multifaceted effect of IT in organizations has been widely examined. However, the intervening role of IT strategy and business strategy on the effect of managing IT on firm performance remains less strong. This study examines how managing information technology (MIT) effects on firm performance by looking at the mediating role of IT strategy and business strategy.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on the resource-based view of IT and contingency perspective, theoretical insights for managing IT and the mediating effect of IT strategy and business strategy on firm performance are established. The model is empirically tested by using hierarchical regression and structural equation modeling for the data collected through the survey of 194 senior IT and business managers in China.FindingsThe significant and impactful relationship found in the model for the proposed idea. The results show that both IT strategy and business strategy partially mediate the effect of managing IT on firm performance.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings highlight that managing IT does not merely influence better firm performance; instead, the coherent amalgamation of IT strategy and business strategy can enrich firm performance. The theoretical and practical implications are also discussed.Originality/valueIn line with the call for rigorous research to integrate the managing IT and firm strategies, this study demonstrates the mediating role of business strategy and IT strategy between the managing IT and the firm performance relationship, hence contributing to the IS research literature.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to empirically investigate the effects of knowledge management (KM) enablers on KM processes in research universities and testing the direct relation between KM processes and OP. This study also proposes to examine the mediating role of intellectual capital (IC) and innovation in the relationship between KM processes and performance of universities. Design/methodology/approach Using a sample of 217 academic and administrative personnel from research universities of Pakistan, the hypothesized relationships were tested through partial least squares structural equation modeling technique. Findings The results reveal that KM enablers have a significant impact on KM processes. The results also indicate that KM processes influence organizational performance (OP) directly and indirectly through innovation and IC. Practical implications Findings of this study reinforce the corporate experience of KM and suggest how administrators of research universities and higher educational institutions can promote innovation and IC, which in turn enhance OP. Originality/value Despite the augmented importance of KM in higher education institutions or research universities, there is a dearth of studies that investigate the interplay of KM, innovation, IC and OP. This is one of the earliest studies that not only empirically investigate the interaction of KM enablers, KM processes and performance of research universities but also shed insights into the existing literature by simultaneously investigating mediating role of IC and innovation in the underlying relationship.
