“…Third, this study focused on the moderating role of transformational leadership, based on its characteristics such as leader's skills to design appealing visions, focus on goal setting and achievement, indulgence in coaching, training and development, creative problem-solving skills, and developing a complete sense of purpose [89], enhancing the link between entrepreneurial orientation and organizational commitment [7,9,52,60] and innovation performance [5,8,10,18,20,22,27,28,70,75]. Aimed at examining the direct effects of transformational leadership on innovation performance [82] and organizational commitment [83], past studies suggested the increase in performance [54,80,81]. The moderating role of transformational leadership on entrepreneurial orientation and innovation performance's relation was found to be positive [84]; therefore, this study examined the transformational leadership's moderation mechanism on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and organizational commitment.…”

“…The four features of transformational leadership "idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation and individualized consideration" significantly affect performance [54,80,81], innovation performance [82] and organizational commitment [83]. Engelen, Gupta [84] found that entrepreneurial orientation and innovation performance were moderated by transformational leadership using RBV, highlighting the importance of the transformational leadership's moderation mechanism on entrepreneurial orientation and organizational commitment.…”

Entrepreneurial orientation has become an enormously significant construct in the innovation studies literature. Predominantly for SMEs, its role has been widely recognized in almost all regional contexts across the globe. The present study is aimed at investigating the effects of entrepreneurial orientation, transformational leadership and organizational commitment on innovation performance. The data for the present study were collected from 1095 employees working at various levels in SMEs. The present study used partial least square structural equation modeling to examine the constructed hypotheses. The findings suggested the significantly positive direct relationships among entrepreneurial orientations, organizational commitment and innovation performance. Besides, organizational commitment positively mediated the relationships between entrepreneurial orientation and innovation performance. Additionally, this study also found the significant moderation of transformational leadership among entrepreneurship orientation and organizational commitment. Leaders of small and medium-sized enterprises should practice entrepreneurial orientation (innovativeness, proactiveness, and risk-taking) and transformation leadership (articulating a compelling vision, focus on goal achievement, and creative problem solving) to enhance the innovation performance of their firms. Moreover, this study provides a robust mechanism for leaders at SMEs to develop strategies for enhancing the willingness of the firms to bring innovation and offer new products and services. The policymakers should enhance the emotional attachment of employees with their firms, sense of moral obligation to remain with the firm which will, in turn, increase the organizational commitment of employees for innovation performance. The study provides empirical evidence to the resource-based view in the context of SMEs. The study delivers solid theoretical and practical implications to experts, leaders and policymakers.

“…The Standardized Root Mean Square Residual (SRMR) is 0.077 (<0.08); it supports that the model in this study has an acceptable model fit. Hence, the SRMR result, R 2 values, reliability, and validity measures indicate that the study model is sufficient to assess the proposed hypothesized relationships as prior studies designate (Asiedu et al, 2020).…”

Purpose – this article investigates the impact of knowledge acquisition on the leading knowledge management processes such as knowledge storage, application, and creation in higher education institutions. Research methodology – scientific literature review and hypotheses were used to develop the research model. The re-search data was collected from 202 academics from Lebanese higher education institutions. The structural questionnaire and structural equation modeling techniques were employed to test the research hypotheses. Findings – the findings confirmed the knowledge acquisition process’s leading role with the highest impact on knowl-edge creation and provided valuable insights for scientists in the knowledge acquisition field. Research limitations – this study’s results are primarily applicable in Lebanon and can’t be generalized to other coun-tries. Therefore, a further researcher should encompass diverse countries to generalize the findings on a global level. Practical implications – the results emphasize more attention for higher education institutions’ administration to focus on higher education institutions’ knowledge management cycle, particularly on the knowledge acquisition process. Originality/Value – in this study, the significant influence of knowledge acquisition on other knowledge management processes in the Lebanese higher education institutions has been revealed, as no prior research in Lebanon is found.

Innovation is now emerging as an ''Asset'' in current global health scenario caused by pandemic, so higher education institute (HEI) should put high value primium on this asset, i.e. innovation, and with the passage of time, the intervention and demand of innovation in higher education cannot be undermined. In this context, it is very important that the real understanding of the process of innovation is highly desirable. Knowledgedriven economy has established its roots globally and with the passage of time, it will grow as banyan tree. The challenges before higher education institutions (HEIs) is to train the people to the highest level of efficiency, creativity and entrepreneurship. HEIs have to choose between being globally distinct and the best vs. enormous and the largest. The biggest challenge before HEIs is financially self-reliance as the government and research funding is very scarce and it will further decrease in the coming time. Innovative solutions will be in demand and the new primium currency of the future. Public objectives in teaching and learning process embedded with innovation must be supreme. In this paper, an innovative framework is emphasized for HEIs for their academic excellence. Triple helical model is no longer sufficient. HEIs have to think and add more dimensions to their innovative functioning which make them efficient and environment friendly. The objective of this study is that the HEIs should become globally distinct and competitive, by creating their own distinct products, services and related processes which proposed high value to their customers and stakeholders for their economic robustness and sustainability in flexible mode.
