Gender, emotional support and innovative behavior: psychological capital as a mediator

PurposeThis paper explores the direct and indirect effects of family emotional, social and organizational support on Innovative Work Behavior (IWB) through psychological capital (Psy.Cap).Design/methodology/approachSelected by conducting stratified random sampling techniques, 397 employees completed a questionnaire. We used structural equation modeling and multi-group testing by Smart-PLS3 to analyze the data.FindingsFindings reveal that all sources of social-emotional support, including family, supervisor and co-worker support, positively affect Psy.Cap. Moreover, Psy.Cap mediates the effect of family, co-workers and supervisors' emotional support on IWB. The multi-group analysis indicates that all relationships in the model are significant for both groups of males and females; however, there are no significant differences in the link between organizational support and psychological capital, as well as family and co-worker support and innovative work behavior between males and females. The study's results demonstrate the significantly higher impact of family emotional support – Psy.Cap and supervisor support on IWB amongst females compared to their male counterparts.Originality/valueThe implications of this research highlight the importance of considering affective factors on employees’ IWB, as well as the differences between genders in this regard.

A reduced-order model for nonlinear radiative transfer problems based on moment equations and POD-Petrov-Galerkin projection of the normalized Boltzmann transport equation

A data-driven projection-based reduced-order model (ROM) for nonlinear thermal radiative transfer (TRT) problems is presented. The TRT ROM is formulated by (i) a hierarchy of low-order quasidiffusion (aka variable Eddington factor) equations for moments of the radiation intensity and (ii) the normalized Boltzmann transport equation (BTE). The multilevel system of moment equations is derived by projection of the BTE onto a sequence of subspaces which represent elements of the phase space of the problem. Exact closure for the moment equations is provided by the Eddington tensor. A Petrov-Galerkin (PG) projection of the normalized BTE is formulated using a proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) basis representing the normalized radiation intensity over the whole phase space and time. The Eddington tensor linearly depends on the solution of the normalized BTE. By linear superposition of the POD basis functions, a low-rank expansion of the Eddington tensor is constructed with coefficients defined by the PG projected normalized BTE. The material energy balance (MEB) equation is coupled with the effective gray low-order equations which exist on the same dimensional scale as the MEB equation. The resulting TRT ROM is structure and asymptotic preserving. A detailed analysis of the ROM is performed on the classical Fleck-Cummings (F-C) TRT multigroup test problem in 2D geometry. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the ROM's effectiveness in the simulation of radiation wave phenomena. The ROM is shown to produce solutions with sufficiently high accuracy while using low-rank approximation of the normalized BTE solution. Essential physical characteristics of supersonic radiation wave are preserved in the ROM solutions.

Does pubertal status potentiate the developmental links between maternal parenting and internalizing problems?

ABSTRACT The present study tested the developmental links between maternal closeness and support and measures of depression and anxiety symptoms, and whether these links were conditioned by pubertal status. It was hypothesized that pubertal status (early) would potentiate the negative links (stronger relationships) between maternal positive parenting and developmental changes in internalizing problems in comparison to youth who mature on time or late. Four waves of self-report data were collected from 340 Czech female adolescents (Mage = 12.34 years, SD = 0.87 at W1), from 6th and 7th grades, including BMI, pubertal development, maternal closeness and support, as well as depressive and anxiety symptoms. Analyses included one-way ANOVAs by grade cohort, BMI, and pubertal status, as well as cross-lagged panel model tests, with follow-up multi-group tests. Results provided evidence of bidirectional effects between closeness and support with developmental changes in depressive symptoms, and some evidence of the same in anxiety symptoms. Multi-group tests provided no evidence of moderation effects by grade cohort, BMI groups, or pubertal status. Findings provide important evidence of how positive parenting predicted developmental changes in internalizing problems, only six months apart; they also provided important evidence that neither BMI nor pubertal status moderated the parenting-internalizing problems links.

Neighbourhood socioeconomic position, prenatal care and fulfilment of postpartum permanent contraception: Findings from a multisite cohort study.

Research suggests neighbourhood socioeconomic vulnerability is negatively associated with women's likelihood of receiving adequate prenatal care and achieving desired postpartum permanent contraception. Receiving adequate prenatal care is linked to a greater likelihood of achieving desired permanent contraception, and access to such care may be critical for women with Medicaid insurance given that the federally mandated Medicaid sterilization consent form must be signed at least 30 days before the procedure. We examined whether adequacy of prenatal care mediates the relationship between neighbourhood socioeconomic position and postpartum permanent contraception fulfilment, and examined moderation of relationships by insurance type. This secondary analysis of a retrospective cohort study examined 3012 Medicaid or privately insured individuals whose contraceptive plan at postpartum discharge was permanent contraception. Path analysis estimated relationships between neighbourhood socioeconomic position (economic hardship and inequality, financial strength and educational attainment) and permanent contraception fulfilment by hospital discharge, directly and indirectly through adequacy of prenatal care. Multigroup testing examined moderation by insurance type. After adjusting for age, parity, weeks of gestation at delivery, mode of delivery, race, ethnicity, marital status and body mass index, having adequate prenatal care predicted achieving desired sterilization at discharge (β = 0.065, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.011, 0.117). Living in neighbourhoods with less economic hardship (indirect effect -0.007, 95% CI: -0.015, -0.001), less financial strength (indirect effect -0.016, 95% CI: -0.030, -0.002) and greater educational attainment (indirect effect 0.012, 95% CI: 0.002, 0.023) predicted adequate prenatal care, in turn predicting achievement of permanent contraception by discharge. Insurance status conditioned some of these relationships. Contact with the healthcare system via prenatal care may be a mechanism by which neighbourhood socioeconomic disadvantage affects permanent contraception fulfilment, particularly for patients with Medicaid. To promote reproductive autonomy and healthcare equity, future inquiry and policy might closely examine how neighbourhood social and economic characteristics interact with Medicaid mandates.

Do not run out of toilet paper! The risk communication on perceived risk on consumer behavior during the crisis COVID-19

PurposeAt the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, social distancing measures and diffuse communication by media led to consumers’ uncontrolled product purchases worldwide. This phenomenon was described as a psychological effect experienced by fictitious scarcity, anxiety and herd mentality exacerbated by the media. This exploratory study aims to analyze the impact of risk communication on the perceived risk from the psychological dimension of consumer behavior amid the COVID-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachAn exploratory study was conducted through an electronic survey one week after implementing social distancing measures in Puerto Rico. With a sample of 353 participants, the data analysis was carried out by PLS-SEM, partial least squares structural equations (PLS-MGA), multi group test (MGA) and hierarchical component models to answer the research hypotheses.FindingsThe results revealed that risk communication activates the perceived psychological risk during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the way in which the consumer faces the psychological risk is explained by the perceptions of scarcity and the bandwagon effect.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is a pioneer in presenting relationships between risk communication and perceived risk in consumer behavior, a topic that needs to be addressed in the academic literature. The research makes significant contributions to the study of consumer behavior by empirically validating the three phases of the Conchar model – risk framing, risk assessment and risk evaluation – where risk communication offers an excellent delineation to understand the consumer’s behavior during a pandemic.

Health status, resources, and job demands in geriatric nursing staff: A cross-sectional study on determinants and relationships

BackgroundAccording to current estimates, the number of people needing care will double in the next 40 years. It is expected that between 130,000 and 190,000 additional nurses will be needed by 2030 in Germany. Physical and psychological burdens associated with nursing in long-term care facilities can develop into serious health risk factors and significantly impact occupational factors such as absenteeism, especially when linked to difficult working conditions. However, demands and resources specific to the nursing profession have not been analyzed extensively to preserve and promote nurses' workability and health adequately. ObjectiveOur study aimed to examine the extent to which perceived health among geriatric nursing staff in Germany is predicted by personal resources, job demands, and job resources. In addition, we analyzed the impact of different behavior and experience patterns on these relationships. Design, setting, and participantsAn observational study was conducted between August 2018 and February 2020 in 48 nursing home facilities with 854 staff members in Germany as part of the project ‘PROCARE – Prevention and occupational health in long-term care’. MethodsThe survey contained instruments that measure workplace exposure, musculoskeletal complaints, physical and mental well-being, chronic stress, and work-related behavior and experience patterns. In addition, health-related information on physical activity and nutrition was collected. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. ResultsThe combined physical and mental workload for geriatric nurses is very high, with 75 % showing chronic stress. In the overall model, job and personal resources have a stronger association with mental health than physical health, while job demands have an equal impact on mental and physical health. Coping behavior also plays an important key role that should be assessed and considered. A behavior and experience risk pattern (health-endangering) is more strongly associated with a lower health status than a health-promoting behavior pattern. Results of the multigroup test showed that work-related behavior and experience patterns significantly moderate the relationship between physical health and mental health (χ2 = 392/p ≤ .001/df = 256/RMSEA = 0.028/CFI = 0.958/TLI = 0.931). Only 43 % show a health-friendly coping pattern. ConclusionsOur findings underline the importance of holistic health promotion, which not only aims at changes at the behavioral level and the development of coping strategies but also takes on the task of reducing the workload and including measures to improve the working climate. Trial registration numberDRKS.de (DRKS00015241); August 9, 2018. Tweetable abstractHealthier coping patterns can benefit geriatric nurses' health. However, this is not a substitute for improving working conditions.

Motivation to teach and preparedness for teaching among preservice teachers in China: The effect of conscientiousness and constructivist teaching beliefs.

"Preparedness for teaching" refers to the degree of confidence preservice teachers have, and reflects their ability. Developing preparedness for teaching is an important part of preservice teachers' professionalization. A substantial body of literature has documented the critical influence of the motivation to teach on preparedness; however, how this relation is impacted by mediating and moderating mechanisms remains unclear. To respond to this gap in knowledge, the present study constructed a mediated moderation model through structural equation modeling and multigroup tests using 383 questionnaires completed by preservice teachers in China. The findings indicate that the preservice teachers' genders, entry path, and levels of certainty about their future teaching career choices all influence their preparedness for teaching. Specifically, preservice teachers who believe that they will choose a teaching career in the future have more intrinsic motivation, stronger constructivist teaching beliefs, and a higher levels of teaching preparedness. Moreover, preservice teachers' motivations to teach can positively predict their constructivist teaching beliefs and preparedness for teaching, but their constructivist teaching beliefs alone do not have a mediating effect on the relationship between motivation to teach and preparedness for teaching. However, the findings reveal that the constructivist teaching beliefs of highly conscientiousness group can partially mediate the relationship between the motivation to teach and the preparedness for teaching. Additionally, conscientiousness moderates the influence of constructivist teaching beliefs on preparedness for teaching. The study provides meaningful insights into the within-personal traits of how and when motivation to teach affects preparedness for teaching, which may be useful for the motivation best practices for preservice teacher recruitment, training, and support to create high-quality teachers.

Multigroup Analysis Eastern Indonesian Millenial Behavior in Using Digital Bank

Transaction value at digital banks grew by around 50.3 percent to 34.3 trillion rupiah when compared to April 2021, digital banks increased deposit interest rates to 7%. This figure is higher than commercial banks which are only 0-4%. This study examines more deeply whether East Indonesian millennials consider LPS Lebel in using and saving at digital banks. East Indonesia was chosen because the number of financial literacy is quite low. The data analysis method uses SEM-PLS and uses a gender and regional/domicile multigroup test, a use analysis of 125 respondents spread across 12 provinces in Eastern Indonesia. The results of the analysis explain that the LPS label variable (LL) and the deposit interest rate (TB) have a positive effect on the interest of Eastern Indonesian millennials in saving at digital banks. However, 88% of Eastern Indonesian millennials do not know exactly what percentage of interest is guaranteed by LPS. In addition, multigroup analysis explains that gender is not an influence on the interest of East Indonesian millennials in saving at digital banks. Meanwhile, the domicile or place of residence between respondents on the island of Sulawesi and outside the island of Sulawesi also does not have a difference

Automatic segmentation of thyroid with the assistance of the devised boundary improvement based on multicomponent small dataset.

Deep learning has been widely considered in medical image segmentation. However, the difficulty of acquiring medical images and labels can affect the accuracy of the segmentation results for deep learning methods. In this paper, an automatic segmentation method is proposed by devising a multicomponent neighborhood extreme learning machine to improve the boundary attention region of the preliminary segmentation results. The neighborhood features are acquired by training U-Nets with the multicomponent small dataset, which consists of original thyroid ultrasound images, Sobel edge images and superpixel images. Afterward, the neighborhood features are selected by min-redundancy and max-relevance filter in the designed extreme learning machine, and the selected features are used to train the extreme learning machine to obtain supplementary segmentation results. Finally, the accuracy of the segmentation results is improved by adjusting the boundary attention region of the preliminary segmentation results with the supplementary segmentation results. This method combines the advantages of deep learning and traditional machine learning, boosting the accuracy of thyroid segmentation accuracy with a small dataset in a multigroup test.

Creativity and the family environment, facilitators of self-efficacy for entrepreneurial intentions in university students: Case ITSON Mexico

The main purpose of this study is to verify the indirect effects of creativity, family business environment and teacher creativity on the direct relationship between self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intentions of ITSON university students in the southern region of the State of Sonora in Mexico. Additionally, a multigroup test was carried out to verify if there were significant differences between students with entrepreneurial ancestry and without entrepreneurial ancestry. The study collects information from 868 ITSON undergraduate university students through an online questionnaire. The PLS-SEM statistical technique was used to test the hypotheses of the proposed theoretical model. The results have confirmed that creativity has positive and significant effects on self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intentions of ITSON university students. It is also revealed that the family business environment has positive and significant effects on self-efficacy. On the other hand, the analyzes have shown that the teacher's creativity is not raising the entrepreneurial intentions of university students. The moderation analyzes show that creativity, the family business environment and the teacher's creativity do not have a significant impact on raising entrepreneurial intentions. The results of the multiple mediation analysis report that creativity, family business environment and teacher creativity have significant effects on the direct relationship between self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intentions. Finally, the findings report that university students who have an entrepreneurial background are more likely to start a business. The study contributes to the development of the theory of planned behavior and social cognitive theory.

Reduced order models for thermal radiative transfer problems based on moment equations and data-driven approximations of the Eddington tensor

A new group of structure and asymptotic preserving reduced-order models (ROMs) for multidimensional nonlinear thermal radiative transfer (TRT) problems is presented. They are formulated by means of the nonlinear projective approach and data compression techniques. The nonlinear projection is applied to the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) to derive a hierarchy of low-order moment equations. Approximation of the Eddington tensor that provides exact closure for the system of moment equations is found with projection-based data-driven methodologies. These include the (i) proper orthogonal decomposition (POD), (ii) dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) and (iii) a variant of the DMD. A parameterization is derived for this ROM for the temperature of radiation incoming to the problem domain (the radiation drive temperature). This parameterization is informed from results of a dimensionless study of the TRT problem. Analysis of the ROMs is performed on the classical Fleck-Cummings TRT multigroup test problem in 2D geometry with a radiation-driven Marshak wave. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the performance of these ROMs for the simulation of evolving radiation and heat waves. Results show these models to be sufficiently accurate for practical computations with rather low-rank representations of the Eddington tensor. As the rank of the approximation is increased, the errors of solutions generated by the ROMs gradually decreases.

Development and validation of the sources of parental anxiety in children’s education scale

Parental anxiety in children’s education is closely related to children’s developmental and educational outcomes. The current study reported the development and validation of a self-report instrument to evaluate the Sources of Parental Anxiety in Children’s Education (SPACEs). Qualitative analyses suggested that the construct of parental anxiety in children’s education was multidimensional, representing learning performance anxiety, educational environment anxiety, educational input anxiety, and educational outcome anxiety as four primary sources. The results from exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported this four-factor structure comprising 17 items to capture this multidimensional construct. The scale also demonstrated adequate internal consistencies, convergent validity, discriminant validity, criterion-related validity, and test-retest reliability. A series of multi-group tests across age, locality, and children’s grades provided evidence of measurement invariance. Overall, the SPACE scale appear to be a reliable and valid tool to measure educational anxiety in parents in the Chinese context.

Do we all grieve the same? A multigroup test of the dimensional structure of prolonged grief disorder among Danish bereaved partners and children

Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) is a newly recognized mental disorder in ICD-11 and DSM-5-TR. Several studies using exploratory factor analysis have found a unidimensional structure of the Prolonged Grief-13 (PG-13) measure of PGD. The recently published ICD-11 proposal proposes a distinction between two clusters of symptoms: Separation distress symptoms and associated cognitive, emotional and behavioral symptoms. The aim of the current study is to test competing factor structures of PGD in Danish samples of bereaved. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to test competing models of PGD among two samples of in total 1093 adults that completed the questionnaires 6 months post loss of either a parent or a partner. Convergent and divergent validity was tested via the relationship to depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and general wellbeing using regression analysis. The Danish version of the PG 13 appeared to be both valid and reliable. A two-factor model reflecting the division of core- and associated symptoms of prolonged grief disorder provided the best description of the PG-13 among Danish bereaved adults and there was evidence of partial structural invariance of the latent structure of PGD across bereavement types. Convergent and divergent validity analysis supported the validity of the two-factor model of PGD. Significant outcomes: A latent variable model differing between core- and associated symptomatology of grief is supported. The Danish translation of PG-13 is a valid measure of prolonged grief symptomatology.

Digital transformation in higher education from online learning perspective: A comparative study of Singapore and Vietnam

Digital transformation has been inevitable in all socio-economic fields, including higher education. Recently, under the burden of the COVID-19 pandemic, many universities have to change their entire teaching systems to online learning to ensure their students' learning is not interrupted. Thus, it is essential to study how universities’ students, educators, and administrators perceive online learning in different countries. To this aim, this study investigates the factors affecting university members' preference for online learning in Singapore and Vietnam. Using a cross-country sample with a sound theoretical framework of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), we found that each member group in the university was influenced by a different weight of factors. Specifically, students' preference for online learning is most affected by their technical skills. Meanwhile, educators and administrators are influenced mainly by the perceived usefulness of online learning and practice conditions, respectively. We further conducted multi-group testing and confirmed the certain separation in online learning preferences of observed objects between the two countries. Overall, this paper enriches the literature on online education, and has important implications for educational policymakers and university stakeholders both during and after the pandemic.

Patients' and family members' experiences of psychiatric inpatient services in China: a comparison based on a dyadic design.

Due to the family-oriented cultural and legal context in China, understanding the difference between patients' and family members' experiences of psychiatric services not only enriches perspectives of service quality assessment, but also promotes service utilization. This study aimed to compare experiences of psychiatric inpatient services between patients and their family members in China. The study included 126 dyads of patients and family members consecutively recruited from the psychiatric inpatient department in a large hospital in China. The responsiveness performance questionnaire was used to measure the experiences of psychiatric inpatient services after patient discharge. After adjusting reporting heterogeneity based on vignettes, dyad difference was examined by intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and paired Wilcoxon signed-rank tests with Bonferroni correction in multigroup testing. Subgroup analyses were conducted within strata of four selected clinical and socio-demographic factors, to test their influence on difference pattern of experiences. Poor consistency was found for all responsiveness items and the total scores among the 126 dyads and in most subgroup analyses (ICC < 0.6). Paired Wilcoxon signed-rank tests found that patients rated lower than their family members on the item of "asking user's opinions" in 126-dyad comparison (P < 0.05) and 3 subgroups related to severe mental disorders and income inequality after Bonferroni correction. Results reveal inconsistent experiences of psychiatric inpatient services within families in China. Moreover, when making medical decisions, family members' opinions, rather than patients', are more frequently taken into consideration, especially on conditions where imbalanced decision-making power exists between patients and their family members. In the future, user experience improvement should pay equal attention to patients and family members, and the benefits of family involvement and patients' rights of shared decision-making should be carefully balanced.

Longitudinal bidirectional effects between sleep quality and internalizing problems.

The current study tested the longitudinal bidirectional links between changes in sleep quality and two measures of internalizing problems, depressive and anxiety symptoms, and whether these links differed between males and females. Longitudinal data were collected from 570 early adolescents (58.6% female; Mage = 12.43 years, SD = 0.66 at Time 1) who were assessed four times over the course of 1.5 years. Cross-lagged panel models were hypothesized and tested the bidirectional links between sleep quality and both depressive and anxiety symptoms; multigroup tests were used to test for sex differences. Sleep quality and developmental changes in sleep quality were negatively associated with developmental changes in depressive symptoms as well as anxiety symptoms over time, and vice versa. These associations did not differ between male and female early adolescents. Study findings provide evidence that the relationship between poor sleep quality and depressive symptoms as well as anxiety symptoms are likely bidirectional and consistently intertwined. Clinicians might consider both problems to better guide case conceptualization and treatment.

Abstract TMP48: Effects Of Telestroke On Endovascular Therapy Timeliness And Outcomes

Backgrounds: Telestroke is associated with improved reperfusion and improved outcomes for stroke patients. Our objective was to examine the effect of telestroke on procedural timeliness and outcomes among patients transferred for endovascular therapy (EVT). Methods: We identified all EVT encounters at our urban, telestroke-enabled, academic comprehensive stroke center (CSC) from 1/1/2017 to 12/31/2020 in our institutional Get With The Guidelines-Stroke registry linked with our telestroke consultation records. EVT encounters were categorized based on mode of arrival: i) transferred via the telestroke network (Tx+TS), ii) transferred without telestroke (Tx-TS), or iii) directly presenting to the CSC (DP). The three groups were then compared on efficacy and safety measurements including first-pass rate, successful reperfusion (TICI 2b/3) and post-procedure complications, as well as mortality and functional independence (mRS ≤ 2) outcomes both at discharge and 90-day post discharge using multi-group testing. Results: After excluding 29 encounters with unknown arrival mode, our sample of 287 EVT encounters included 168 Tx+TS cases, 35 Tx-TS cases, and 84 DP cases. Patients’ demographics and baseline characteristics (NIHSS at admission and prior comorbidities) were balanced across the groups (Table). Compared to both Tx-TS and DP, Tx+TS has significantly shorter door to puncture time (Tx+TS: 30 mins vs. Tx-TS: 62 mins vs. DP: 92 mins, p &lt; 0.001). Procedural efficacy and safety, in-hospital outcomes and post discharge outcomes were similar across groups. Conclusion: Our study demonstrates that telestroke plays an important role among patients transferred for EVT with improved procedural timeliness, and outcomes similar to those of directly presenting patients.

Leadership Excellence in Corporate Communications: A Multi-Group Test of Measurement Invariance

This study aims at advancing leadership research in corporate communications by introducing a more rigorous statistical approach to test whether communication professionals of different hierarchical reporting levels, years of experience, and educational backgrounds would ascribe the same meanings to the construct of leadership excellence in corporate communications via survey research. By using an established measurement model of leadership excellence in corporate communications, the study uses three samples, including senior communication executives/leaders, mid-level communication professionals, and senior college students majoring in communication and/or public relations, to conduct the measurement invariance tests. By imposing constraints to different parameters in a sequence of nested models, findings indicate that the measures of leadership excellence in corporate communications can be equivalent across multiple groups. Measurement invariance was confirmed at multiple levels, including the higher-order measurement model, configural invariance, metric invariance, scalar invariance, and error invariance. This study deepens our understanding of measurement invariance when applying multi-group comparison in testing leadership excellence. Such evidence can also be used as central principles when developing corresponding leadership training and development modules by organizations in supporting multicultural and multi-group sensitivity in leadership development. Future research and practical implications are also discussed.

Effect of E-Service Quality on E-Satisfaction and E-Loyalty: Moderated by Purchase Frequency

This study aims to analyze the effect of e-service quality on e-satisfaction and e-loyalty by moderating purchase frequency. Data were collected from respondents, namely GrabFood customers in Batam City. The data were analyzed using the multi-group model with AMOS 23. The results showed that e-service quality had a positive effect on e-satisfaction. Besides, e-satisfaction also has a positive effect on e-loyalty. Meanwhile, the multi-group test shows that the frequency of purchases strengthens the relationship between e-service quality and e-satisfaction. On the other hand, purchase frequency is not able to moderate the relationship between e-satisfaction and e-loyalty. It is recommended for further research to study how the impact of this GrabFood can increase sales from its customers.

How do intellectual property rights and government support drive a firm's green innovation? The mediating role of open innovation

Although the existing literature on green innovation has little focus on the mediation role of open innovation, we aimed to explore how intellectual property rights and government support affect green innovation through open innovation. Drawing upon open innovation literature, this paper aims to investigate, at the firm level, the structural causality between internal and external resources and examine the role of open innovation on green innovation divided into green process and green product innovation. We attempt to suggest a structural model comparing open innovation's direct and mediating role using data from manufacturing sectors in South Korea from 2014 to 2016. The methodology was based on the partial least square structural equation method (PLS-SEM) with 1203 samples. The results revealed that a firm's intellectual property rights and government support significantly affect open innovation, green process innovation, and green product innovation while open innovation played a mediating role between each. Additionally, we provide a supplementary analysis using the sample-split test by comparing the sensitivity to partner selection and the multigroup test by firm size. This study proposes several implications emphasizing the mediating role of open innovation in enhancing green process innovation along with the direct and indirect effect of intellectual property rights and government support on green innovation.
