“…In addition, this research provided evidence that knowledge acts as a partial mediator between inter-personal relationships and innovative behaviour at the individual level. In other words, inter-personal relationships can not only have direct influence on innovative behaviour, but can also have indirect influence on innovative behaviour by knowledge sharing, which is in accord with most previous research [44][45][46]. The innovative behaviour outcomes in construction projects, originating from in our country-specific sample, show that the inter-personal relationships model can be implemented in the Chinese context.…”

“…Furthermore, social exchange tends to generate emotions related to individual obligation, gratitude and trust [39], which may influence personal innovation behaviour. Knowledge sharing, a specific pattern in social exchange, also has an impact on innovation and has been investigated by several scholars [44][45][46]. Innovation practices in construction projects tend to rely heavily on an individual's knowledge, skill and experience.…”

“…According to social exchange theory, knowledge sharing can be viewed as a social exchange behaviour [58], involving collaborative knowledge exchange between diverse individuals in order to solve new problems, improve decision-making processes and achieve innovation [59,60]. Overall, it is significant that employees, to facilitate their innovative activities, may be willing to share knowledge externally as well as internally within an organization [45].…”

Understanding the Double-Level Influence of Guanxi on Construction Innovation in China: The Mediating Role of Interpersonal Knowledge Sharing and the Cross-Level Moderating Role of Inter-Organizational Relationships

Guanxi, a Chinese term that defines social networks of power and benefits, can be divided into inter-personal and inter-organizational relationships. Guanxi significantly influences construction innovation in China. Many studies have examined the relationship between guanxi and construction innovation at the project or organizational level. However, few of these studies explain how guanxi might affect an individual’s innovative behaviour from a double-level perspective. This paper builds on social capital theory and social exchange theory to examine guanxi’s role in motivating innovative behaviour in a China-specific construction context. It investigates the main effects of inter-personal relationships on innovative behaviour, the mediating effects of knowledge sharing, and the cross-level moderating effects of inter-organizational relationships. These elements were tested using a survey that received 178 responses from 35 different organizations. The results were analysed using Hierarchical Linear Modelling (HLM) and revealed that inter-personal relationships have positive influences on innovative behaviour, thus highlighting the partial mediating effects of knowledge sharing. In addition, the analyses showed that inter-organizational relationships augment inter-personal relationships and knowledge sharing on innovative behaviour by cross-level interaction. The research findings enhance an understanding of guanxi and innovative behaviour in China-specific construction project settings, as well as verifying the significance of guanxi in stimulating innovative behaviour.

“…This means that managing and exchanging internal information or working with other institutions have positive effects on innovative performance. In other words, this effect considers the exchange of knowledge as an antecedent of product innovation [103]. Furthermore, this relationship is strongly mediated by the degree of product innovation, and outlines a route towards sustainability.…”

Sustainable Orientation of Management Capability and Innovative Performance: The Mediating Effect of Knowledge Management

et al. 2020

The literature suggests that innovation allows organizations to reach a desirable level of sustainability. There is evidence to support the role of knowledge management (KM) as well as management capability (MC) in producing a sustainable approach at organizations. Furthermore, organizations commonly achieve sustainable practices through corporate social responsibility (CSR). In particular, the health sector is increasingly implementing CSR strategies, although with a narrow understanding of the factors to success. Hence, trends lead to asymmetric growth between organizations. This study aims to examine the mediating role of KM in the relationship between MC and innovative performance (IP) in 331 Health Provider Institutions (HPIs). The research reflective model was assessed through Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). According to the results, MC has a positive effect on IP, MC has a positive effect on KM, and KM has a positive effect on IP. Likewise, KM significantly mediates the relationship between MC and IP. Our findings support the importance of KM in addressing MCs in HPIs as it enables innovative practices to address CSR goals to achieve a sustainable impact. Moreover, this study contributes by expanding KM to contexts that are not usually studied, such as health in a South American country.

The term Knowledge Exchange (KE) is commonly used to describe university-industry collaborations that frequently foster innovation. Understanding such collaborations and their potential value is a difficult activity. The means of supporting collaboration vary significantly and potential for successful innovation is hard to asses. In this paper, we describe work aimed at developing an improved understanding of knowledge exchange within a digital context-both within digital sectors and also in non-digital sectors where the adoption of digital technologies can lead to new and challenging opportunities. Our work focuses upon digital innovation for Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) aiming to support effective Knowledge Exchange based innovation; a specific driver being the difficulty of understanding the potential for successful and productive collaborations with individual SMEs. From a number of existing digital innovation models and instruments, factors for characterizing digital innovation potential have identified. However, based on our experience and expert feedback, such characterizations appear to be inappropriate for SMEs. In response to this, an instrument has been developed to identify potential for quality digital innovation based on collaborative KE between SMEs and universities. The instrument is introduced, and its development and refinement discussed.
