“…As a result, employees can confidently meet their potential to execute IWB (Mathisen & Bronnick, 2009). SOCIAL IMPLICATIONS Focusing on employees' IWB, which enables firms to adopt novel opportunities in dynamic environments (Dahlander, & Gann, 2010), the findings of this study may help entrepreneurs respond to the market in innovative ways (K€ uhn, Eymann, Urbach, & Schweizer, 2016;Reed, Storrud-Barnes, & Jessup, 2012).

This study examines the relationship between the relational mode of leadership (i.e., inclusive leadership) and innovative work behavior with the mediating role of creative self-efficacy. Data were collected from employees of small and medium textile enterprises in Pakistan. Results show that there is a positive relationship between inclusive leadership and innovative work behavior. While aligned with previous research, the results of this study confirm the mediating role of creative self-efficacy in inclusive leadership-innovative work behavior relationships. Based on its findings, this study recommends that human resource (HR) managers prioritize the hiring of leaders possessing inclusive attributes such as openness, availability, and accessibility. Additionally, the results of this study indicate that, in order to successfully implement new changes, it is important that HR managers hire employees evidencing innovative work behavior in a work setting.

“…The role of the IC in the healthcare services sector is critical, given the high level of expertise that is required to carry out such activities (Kühn et al, 2016) and the need to secure specific personnel and skills to these professions (Bontis et al, 2018). Moreover, the degree of the influence exerted by different dimensions of IC (i.e., mainly human capital and relational capital) can affect the business model configuration (Ujwary-Gil, 2017).…”

In recent years, companies operating in activities such as dentistry, optometry, physiotherapy, or veterinary have seen the demand for their services grow. Their customers do not require their services only for health reasons but also for aesthetics and welfare issues. As a result, these companies compete in expanding and profitable markets. However, this business context has been detected by many professional entrepreneurs who decided to run their activity in healthcare and set up a firm without the necessary assets and knowledge. To overcome these liabilities, some seek partners who provide them with the resources they do not have by entering into different alliances. In contrast, others choose to compete under an independent business model. This paper sheds light on the factors influencing the decisions about the implemented business model in small knowledge-intensive firms by examining the association between the perception of the institutional environment variables and the dotation of intangible resources. For that purpose, a qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) was performed. Due to government regulations in force in these sectors, and methodological reasons, the study sample consisted of 88 small Spanish firms (less than 15 employees). The data were collected by a questionnaire distributed in 2017. We find that the choice to remain self-governing or to enter into a partnership (e.g franchising) is heterogeneously motivated by the evaluations that entrepreneurs have about the role of institutions concerning their activities and how high they consider their intellectual capital compared to their main competitors. In terms of institutional capital, these entrepreneurs refuse to implement patient loyalty policies and strive to have high-quality human capital in terms of the training & experience of their professionals. Moreover, the results also showed that independent business models pay little attention to market influences and view a certain level of regulation favorably, suggesting vocational and conservative behavior

“…Pinchot first used the term 'intrapreneur' in 1985, when he published the book 'Intrapreneuring' (Burström & Wilson, 2015;Smith et al, 2016), in which he explains the possibility of an individual being an entrepreneur in an established organization, i.e., an intrapreneur (Kühn et al, 2016;Kuratko & Audretsch, 2013;Pinchot, 1989). The intrapreneur is an individual who seeks to initiate a process of change within an organization that does not belong to him.…”
