“…Additionally, we employed structural equation modeling using SPSS-AMOS software to test our model's goodness of fit to the data. The results: χ 2 / df, NFI, CFI, RMSE, and IFI were 2.136, 0.911, 0.950, 0.072, and 0.951, respectively, showed a good fitting degree with the data (Lewis, 2017;Sinatoko Djibo et al, 2022).…”

“…Therefore, when the types of enterprises (high-tech and non-high-tech companies) are inconsistent, the impact on entrepreneurial direction is also different (Huang and Wang, 2013). We operationalized the control variables following extant studies (David et al, 1998;Zahra et al, 2000;Sinatoko Djibo et al, 2022;Xiabao et al, 2022). Accordingly, CEO gender was coded with 1 = representing male and 2 = representing female.…”

“…Asset-liability ratio was operationalized as the aggregate of the enterprise's existing financed loans (accrued and unpaid). We operationalized enterprise age using 1 = equal to or less than 4 years and 2 = otherwise and enterprise size with 1 = implying small; 2 = medium; and 3 = large (Sinatoko Djibo et al, 2022). Enterprise type was assessed using 1 = implying high-tech and 2 = non-high-tech companies (Huang and Wang, 2013).…”

Entrepreneurial orientation is the key factor for enterprises to obtain competitive advantages in dynamic circumstances. Thus, prior studies established the effect of psychological factors, for instance, entrepreneurial self-efficacy on entrepreneurial orientation using social cognitive theory. However, prior studies presented two main opposite views consisting of a positive and negative relationship between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial orientation as well as providing no alleyway to enrich this relationship. We join the conversation on the positive linkage and argue on the essence of exploring the black box mechanisms to strengthen enterprises’ entrepreneurial orientation. We employed the social cognitive theory and collected 220 valid responses from CEOs and TMTs from 10 enterprises in the high-tech industrial development zones of nine provinces in China to clarify the effect of top management team (TMT) collective efficacy, and CEO–TMT interface on the link between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial orientation. Our findings show that entrepreneurial self-efficacy positively affects entrepreneurial orientation. In addition, we found that a higher level of TMT collective efficacy strengthens the positive relationship between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial orientation. Moreover, we discovered differential moderating effects. First, CEO-TMT interface positively affects entrepreneurial orientation when it interacts with TMT collective efficacy and entrepreneurial self-efficacy. Second, CEO-TMT interface has a significant negative indirect effect on entrepreneurial orientation, when it only interacts with TMT collective efficacy. Our study enriches the entrepreneurial orientation literature by positioning TMT collective efficacy and CEO-TMT interface as social cognitive mechanisms underlying the development of entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial orientation nexus. Thus, we open a window of opportunities for CEOs and decision-makers to maintain a sustainable position in the market, grasping more opportunities in uncertain conditions via timely entries into new markets and maintaining pre-existing ones.

“…First, theoretically, it contributes to the external knowledge literature by focusing on developing country SMEs. In recent research, Sinatoko Djibo et al (2022) suggest that external institutional support contributes to eco-innovation. Adomako (2020) explores the role of supplier collaboration on sustainable innovation and environmental performance among Ghanaian firms.…”

Purpose Firms are engaging in eco-innovation as a response to environmental concerns. Due to its complexity, firms are searching, absorbing and using externally acquired knowledge toward implementing eco-innovation. Thus, this study aims to examine how different external knowledge sources affect the eco-innovation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in developing economies. Design/methodology/approach The study uses an Ordered Probit regression analysis for 318 developing economy SMEs to examine the impact of vertical flows (suppliers and customers) and horizontal flows (competitors and scientific organisations) on eco-innovations. Findings On the vertical dimension, the results show that external knowledge from suppliers is positively associated with eco-product and eco-process innovations. However, external knowledge from customers is positively associated with eco-product innovation, but not eco-process innovation. On the horizontal dimension, external knowledge from competitors contributes to eco-process innovation, but not to eco-product innovation. Finally, external knowledge from scientific organizations is positively related to eco-product and eco-process innovations. Originality/value First, the study contributes to the external knowledge literature by focusing on developing country SMEs. Second, the methodology used in this study constitutes a novelty as it provides a tool that categorizes firms according to the extent of emphasis they placed on both eco-product and eco-process innovations. Finally, it offers new evidence by revealing that the effects of external knowledge on eco-innovations are differentiated and not equally beneficial to firms.
