Impacts of ethical leadership, innovative climate on project success: the role of innovative behavior and time pressure

PurposeThis study aims to explore how ethical leadership and innovative climate impact project success through employees innovative behavior. In addition, based on the conservation of resources theory, this study also examines whether time pressure moderates the innovative work behavior and project success nexus.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from 403 employees working in Vietnam's information technology (IT) companies. The partial least squares structural equation modeling was used to investigate the impact of ethical leadership and innovative climate on project success, the mediating effect of innovative behavior and the moderating role of time pressure.FindingsEmpirical findings indicate that ethical leadership and innovative climate positively impact on project success. Moreover, employees' innovative behavior has a complementary effect on these relationships. In addition, time pressure moderates the nexus between innovative work behavior and project success.Practical implicationsThe findings suggest that IT companies can promote innovative work behavior among employees by building ethical leadership and enhancing an innovative climate. Moreover, when designing and implementing a project, project managers should take care to allow enough time for innovative behavior within the team.Originality/valueThis inquiry is probably the first attempt to explore the mechanism linking ethical leadership and innovative climate to project success, with the mediating role of employees' innovative behavior. Additionally, time pressure is an increasingly relevant factor in contemporary business, but so far little explored in research. This study extends the current knowledge by considering the moderating role of time pressure in the innovative behavior and project success nexus.

Analysis of The Effect of Work Environment and Knowledge Sharing on Employee Performance in Innovative Behavior Mediation

Purpose - This study aims to analyze the effect of the work environment and Knowledge sharing on employee performance by mediating innovative behavior.Design/methodology/approach - The sampling method used was the census method. The research subjects were the Settlement Infrastructure Agency for DI Yogyakarta Region employees, while data retrieval employed a questionnaire for 146 respondents. However, questionnaires only processed data for 100 respondents. Data analysis used Partial Least Square (PLS) inferential, variance-based SEM with SmartPLS Version 3.0 software.Findings - The results showed that the work environment and knowledge sharing had a positive and significant effect on employee performance, the work environment had no effect on innovative behavior or was not proven, knowledge sharing had a positive and significant effect on innovative behavior, innovative behavior had a positive and significant effect on employee performance. The mediation results showed that innovative behavior could partially mediate the influence of the work environment and Knowledge sharing on employee performance. The role of innovative behavior in mediating the work environment and Knowledge sharing had a positive and significant effect on employee performance, so, in this study, innovative behavior could mediate the work environment and Knowledge sharing on employee performance.Research limitations/implications – Respondents who returned the questionnaires to the researchers were not 100% of the total sample population, so the analysis results were not the same as the hypothesis.Originality/value - The novelty of this research is to examine the role of mediating innovative behavior in the influence of KS and the work environment on employee performance in public service employees who have different characteristics when compared to employees of non-public organizations.

Linking Person-Job Fit and Perceived Organization Support to Increase Public Employee Performance: The Role of Innovative Behavior in Workplace

This study aims to examine and analyze the effect of P-J fit and perceived organizational support on task performance mediated by innovative behavior. This study provides empirical evidence regarding the role of innovation in increasing the fit between a person and his work and organizational support in improving task performance. The population of this study is civil servants who work in the Bengkulu Provincial Government, one of the largest province in West Part of Indonesia. The number of respondents taken amounted to 155 people. This study uses the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM ) method using the Partial Least Square (PLS) method with SmartPLS software application version 3.0. The study concludes that P-J fit positively affects organizational commitment and task performance based on the research conducted. The perceived support factor from the organization also affects innovative behavior and task performance. In a mediating relationship, P-J fit mediated by creative behavior will affect task performance. However, this study found that the ties built by P-J fit on task performance directly had a more significant effect than when mediated by innovative behavior. Organizational support mediated by creative behavior also improves task performance, although not as big as the direct effect of organizational support on employee performance. This research also contributes to the development of social exchange theory by using the innovation factor as a supporter.

Psychological capital and SMEs performance: The role of innovative behavior and risk propensity

ABSTRACT This conceptual article proposes a multilevel approach to understanding psychological capital (PsyCap) resources and their impact on macro-level outcomes in the small and medium-sized enterprises context. Drawing from the positive psychology literature, we propose that PsyCap resources impact firm performance through entrepreneurs’ innovative behavior during uncertainty. Drawing from the broaden-and-build theory, we argue that entrepreneurs could develop their state-like psychological resources to achieve superior performance and thus mitigate the impact of exogenous shocks and overcome major crises such as the current COVID-19 pandemic. Our propositions could provide helpful insights to practitioners, policy makers, and academics. By investigating the proposed relationships in our conceptual model, our study offers the opportunity for our targeted audiences (practitioners, policy makers, and academics) to streamline efforts and craft policies (that is, financial assistance, economic reliefs, incentives) with the goal to better understand and help small business owners survive and thrive in an increasingly challenging business environment.

Role of Innovative Behavior and Bricolage in New Product Development Process within Hi-Tech Firms

The purpose of this study was to examine the role of bricolage in new product development (NPD) within organizations. The results of a survey carried out among 117 product development managers from 3 organizations in hi-tech domain demonstrated that innovative behavior was positively related to performance (outcomes and efficiency) but via positive mediated effect of bricolage within new product development projects. The contribution of the study is threefold, being the first of its kind to test linkages between innovative behavior and performance, to test empirically and quantitatively the role of bricolage in established firms and third by providing evidence in NPD processes through an individual perspective. This research shows how crucial innovative behavior and bricolage are for performance within firms in creative processes of NPD. The results highlight importance of merging behavioral perspective with resource-based perspective within NPD, and the importance of selection and utilization of available firm-resources.
