Influence of intellectual capital and individual absorptive capacity on innovation performance

Abstract

Purpose: The objective of this research was to identify the existence of a relationship between intellectual capital, individual absorptive capacity and the innovation performance of the Federal Institute of Santa Catarina’s technical-administrative civil servants. Methodology: Self-administered questionnaires were used as a data collection instrument, applied to the institution's technical-administrative staff, resulting in a sample of 314 respondents. In the data analysis, structural equation modeling was used. The final quantitative analysis structure resulted in 28 variables, distributed among the constructs proposed by the research. Relevance: the relevance of the study lies in the fact that individuals play a role in the creation, transfer and absorption of knowledge, thus factors at the individual level represent an antecedent for performance; therefore, at the time when the codification of knowledge occurs or expands, through assimilation, acquisition, transformation and application, a direct contribution to increasing organizational effectiveness also occurs. Results: The results showed that human capital, structural capital and relational capital influence the individual absorptive capacity, from the perspective of the institution's technical-administrative staff, with the most relevant relationship being that of human capital. Originality/Theoretical contribution: The responses indicated that the innovation performance – analyzed based on the creation and implementation of ideas – is influenced by the individual absorptive capacity. Therefore, through the results obtained, contributions to management were proposed that could contribute to the influence between the constructs, and consequently, to the individual and organizational performance.

Influence of Innovation in Education: Mediation of knowledge transfer

“…Today's competitive world has developed a never-ending desire in organizations to be more efficient and productive in terms of resources to gain a competitive edge over their rivals, (Chatterjee, Pereira, & Bates, 2018). For individual's common life and the economic, social and cultural policies of nations, groups of countries and even borderless realities are influenced by the forms of access, production, distribution and application of knowledge, (Agostineto, Soares, Mazon, & Soares, 2022).…”

“…Users' ability to apply knowledge can be increased by sharing activities across departments, teams and the organization, (Agostineto, Soares, Mazon, & Soares, 2022). (Lo & Tian, 2020) emphasises how absorptive capacity may have a mediation role, changing how the organisational innovation on the extent of knowledge transfer.…”

The moderating effect of financial performance exerts on the interaction of absorptive capacity and organizational performance

“…There is literature confirming that absorptive capacity exerts a positive influence on innovation processes and outcomes, such as financial performance of the organizational (Bercovitz & Feldman, 2007, Kostopoulos et al, 2011, Najafi Tavani et al, 2013, Garcia-Perez-de-Lema et al, 2017 absorptive capacity affects innovation and organizational performance outcomes (Ebers & Maurer, 2014, Ali et al, 2016, Oliveira et al, 2020, Agostineto et al, 2022 and Financial performance has the ability to positively influence different non-financial performances of organizations (Lai et al, 2017, Ikram et al, 2019, Montenegro de Lima et al, 2020, Chen & Ma, 2021, Bazhair, 2021. Briefly, absorptive capacity positively influences organizational performance, so in this paper, we will analyze the moderating effect of financial performance.…”

As SmartCities e o Pós-Revolução Digital: Um estudo do binômio efetividade x interesse coletivo

“…Smart Cities incorporem quatro novas funções, todas estas vinculadas ao processo de inovação(AGOSTINETO et al, 2022), de desenvolvimento sustentável e de interatividade: a) Pontos estratégicos de comando na organização da nova economia mundial, cada vez mais intangível, desterritorializada e desmaterializada; b) Localizações-chave para organizações (públicas e privadas) de alcance global e que prestam serviços especializados; c) Locais de produção e de geração de conhecimento; d) Mercados para novos produtos e soluções (oriundos dos avanços tecnológicos em consonância com a valorização de modelos colaborativos e baseados na inteligência coletiva -LÉVY, 1999).…”
