The growing research in innovation management urges the need to measure the performance provided by the various innovation actions. However the measurement of innovation performance, especially product innovation still lies submerged in a variety of ways, which are related measurement will ace as its inputs and outputs, as well as to the objective and subjective data. The replication of traditional methods of measuring product innovation performance not consider the various results of product innovation for the organization, exacerbates the issue of measurement of product innovation performance. In this sense, the present study aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of a multidimensional scale proposed by Hanachi (2015) which considers perception measures and the performance of product innovation as an output. The descriptive research, survey type is cross-sectional. The application of product innovation performance scale was conducted with 94 managers of small and medium industries in the textile sector. To perform the analysis we used the SPSS and Statistica 2.0 software to perform the one-dimensionality and reliability testing of the constructs and subsequent application of factor analysis. The result shows the relevance and applicability of the proposed scale, by providing a valid scale for new studies that seek to relate the product innovation performance construct to other constructs allowed relationship tests, such as the approaches of structural equations.

The analysis of human resources and sustainable innovation through organizational variables is useful, albeit limited, for predicting complex interactions for sustainability development in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This paper seeks to overcome this limitation, proposing three models with variables at two levels, namely, for the development of creativity (individual level) and sustainable product innovation performance (organizational level) and sustainability development. Theoretical models are tested using the Structural Equations Model. It is posited that knowledge, motivation, and relationships (individual level) may be predictors of creativity. In addition, creativity is analyzed as a mediator between human resources and sustainable product innovation performance. In this way, it is easier for SMEs to detect on which aspects of HR they should place greater emphasis for sustainable product innovation performance (PIP), with the purpose of reducing the ones associated with the Covid-19 crisis and obtaining a sustainable world. Information was obtained through an online questionnaire involving a sample of 245 certified innovative Spanish SMEs. The results support major findings: (a) knowledge, (b) motivation, and (c) relationships have a positive impact on creativity; (d) the three models hold that creativity fully mediates human resources and sustainable product innovation performance. The paper contributes to the literature on the human resources and sustainable product innovation performance by adopting a multidisciplinary approach, as well as by analyzing variables on two levels, measuring the most internal aspects of employees (wishes, emotions, ideas, or feelings), and explaining the mediating role of employee creativity.

<p>A thorough understanding of the impact of culture on innovation strategy formulation and implementation processes as well as product innovation performance is crucial for successful innovation management. The paper through a combination of two research approach, KJ analysis and formal survey aims to shade light on the extent and direction of culture’s impact on product innovation performance. A hypothetical model that links the three bodies of knowledge, national culture, innovation strategy and product innovation performance was developed and tested by using survey data from Ethiopian manufacturing firms. Major problems with the current innovation strategy formulation and implementation process were identified and the role of culture was explored. The result indicates that even though the current cultural setup has a detrimental effect on the performance, the extent of its impact can be minimized through task oriented leadership practice.</p>

This investigation focuses on the question whether assessments of the development of internalizing behavior from childhood to adolescence are affected by the kind of research design (longitudinal versus cross-sectional). Two longitudinal samples of 432 second-graders and 366 fourth graders participated in a longitudinal study with subsequent measurements taken 1, 2, and 3 years later. A third sample consisting of 849 children covering the same range of grades participated in a cross-sectional study. The results show that the development of internalizing symptoms in girls – but not in boys – varies systematically with the research design. In girls, there is a decrease of internalizing symptoms (especially between the first two timepoints) in the longitudinal assessment, which may reflect, for example, the influence of strain during the first testing situation. Both longitudinal trajectories converge to a common trajectory from grade 2 to grade 7 when controlling for this “novelty-distress effect.” Moreover, when we control this effect, the slight but significant decrease characterizing the common trajectory becomes similar to the one obtained in the cross-sectional study. Therefore, trajectories based on longitudinal assessments may suggest more changes with regard to internalizing symptoms over time than actually take place, while trajectories based on cross-sectional data may be characterized by an increased level of internalizing symptoms. Theoretical and practical implications of these results are discussed.
