“…The results show that the best practices of process innovation have a mediating role supported by three firm-specific capability effects: namely, absorptive capacity, intrapreneurship, and stakeholder integration. The study crystalizes several studies that outline a firm innovation's predictors [77,204,205]. This result may be explicated by Keizer et al [206], who realized that absorptive capacity is possible in SMEs due to higher cognition, but more attention capability is needed to apply the practices of the firm rather than merely relying on the potential absorptive capacity for sustainable innovation achievement.…”

The importance of sustainable innovation achievement propels firms to consider the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. However, it is important to clarify that not all innovations impact sustainable development. Regardless of the limited circumstances in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), intrapreneurship, stakeholder integration, and absorptive capacity are firm-specific capabilities that could be explored as strategic intentions of management practices in the organization. This paper investigated the mediating role of process innovation in the relationship among the firm-specific capabilities of absorptive capacity, intrapreneurship, and stakeholder integration for sustainable innovation in SMEs. This empirical study examines the manufacturing sector of Indonesian SMEs with a sample size of 190 firms. The study found that practices of process innovation, as a mediator triggered by the firm-specific capabilities of absorptive capacity, intrapreneurship, and stakeholder integration affect sustainable innovation, although at low stages. Finally, implications for the theory and practice of attaining sustainable innovation in SMEs are drawn.

“…In other words, it is necessary for the organizations to keep organizational structure and strategy engaged in processes stimulating new ways of thinking and producing new ideas. Moreover, many scholars have indicated the significance of innovation and innovativeness for an organization (Coakes, Smith, & Alwis, 2011, p.32;Prange & Pinho, 2017, p.1120 for providing a competitive advantage and higher performance (Hurley & Hult, 1998, p.45;Cai, Chen, Chen, & Bruton, 2017, p.113).…”

In today's competitive environment, innovativeness is considered to be one of the most important means of increasing social welfare while being a competitive advantage for organizations. Additionally, innovativeness helps organizations in differentiating themselves on the market and providing value with advanced products and services as well as solving customer problems. Within this framework, it is necessary to emphasize an individual's openness to changes and one's ability to innovate. It is supposed that the individual might provide positive changes to the organization and society, as well as solve problems arising in it by considering innovation from both managerial and social perspectives in case he/she wants to innovate. Social innovation regards to innovative practices and services while meeting social needs and providing solutions to such social issues as women empowerment, training for disabled people, waste management etc. There are many studies in the literature that examined the relationship between individual innovativeness and creative behavior. However, as literature review did not demonstrate any research on the relationship between individual innovativeness and generation of social value, this study aims to contribute to the literature by filling this gap. In this context, the main purpose of this research is to be the leading study in the literature by examining the relationship *

“…When the management provides support to individuals in the workplace, such as training sessions, guidance and counseling, it can enhance their ability to use any new technology depending on the level and extent of such support [89,[91][92][93][94]. Thus, certain situational factors, such as institutional support, can prove significant in determining an employee's attitude and certainty toward the systems.…”

Technology brings green sustainable management practices to the workplace. It is important to ascertain the factors that enable or inhibit employees' perceptions towards technology adoption. Corporate sustainability and sustainable management practices partially depend on employees for the successful implementation of technological changes in the workplace. This study aims at applying the technology acceptance model (TAM) from an employees' user-perspective. It addresses those factors that form employee readiness for e-business and enable their intention to use e-business technologies such as decision support systems (DSS). It focuses on technology intensive firms while combining Davis' technology acceptance model and Lai and Ong's employee readiness for e-business (EREB) model. A survey questionnaire was used to collect the data for this cross-sectional study from 331 employees of 28 well-established small and medium-sized e-businesses located in the United Kingdom. The outcomes show that the four dimensions of EREB explain the 58.2% of variance in perceived ease of use and the 50.2% of variance in perceived usefulness. Together, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use explain the 51.8% of variance in intention to use while fully mediating the relationship between higher order EREB construct and intention to use DSS.
