“…This study revealed that the outcome of H4 is significant at a 0.05 level of significance (β = 0.040, t = 2.221, p < 0.027), and thus, H4 is supported. This result further confirmed previous studies that have demonstrated the decisive role of innovation culture as an intervening variable that develops organizational performance (Alosani et al, 2020;Ghasemzadeh et al, 2019) and an internal environment that improves employee work behavior to learn and innovate continuously.…”

“…Hence, more studies should measure the impact of TQM practices on SMEs' performance and should not stop with the results extracted from studies applied on large firms (Sahoo & Yadav, 2020;Sila, 2018). Studies have also suggested that innovation culture does not directly affect their performance and should play a conditional role (Ghasemzadeh et al, 2019).…”

“…Moreover, few studies have analyzed the intermediary role of innovation culture in the relationship between learning orientation and organizational performance in SMEs in developing countries. Ghasemzadeh et al (2019) have demonstrated that innovation culture plays a crucial moderating role in linking organizational learning and innovation performance in the pharmaceutical sector. Alosani et al (2020) revealed that innovation culture has a partial mediating role in the Six Sigma-organizational performance relationship.…”

Aim/Purpose: This paper aimed to examine the impact of learning orientation on organizational performance of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) via the mediating role of total quality management (TQM) practices and the moderating role of innovation culture. Background: SMEs’ organizational performance in developing countries, particularly in Kuwait, remains below expectation due to increasing competition and inadequate managerial practices that negatively impact their performance. Although several studies had revealed a significant effect of learning orientation on SMEs’ performance, the direct impact of learning orientation on their performance is still unclear. Thus, the link between learning orientation and organizational performance remains inconclusive and requires further examination. Methodology: This study adopted a quantitative approach based on a cross-sectional survey and descriptive design to gather the data in a specific period. The data were collected by distributing a survey questionnaire to the owners and Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of Kuwaiti SMEs using online and on-hand instruments with 384 useable data obtained. Furthermore, the partial least square-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis was performed to test the hypotheses. Contribution: This study bridged the significant gap in the role of learning orientation on SMEs’ performance in developing countries, specifically Kuwait. In this sense, a conceptual model was introduced, comprising a learning orientation, TQM practices, innovation culture, and organizational performance. In addition, this study confirmed the significant influence of TQM practices and innovation culture as intermediate variables in strengthening the relationship between learning orientation and organizational performance, which has not yet been verified in Kuwait. Findings: The results in this study revealed that learning orientation had a significant impact on organizational performance of SMEs in Kuwait. It could be observed that TQM practices play an important role in mediating the relationship between learning orientation and performance of SMEs, as well as that innovation culture plays an important moderating role in the same relation. Recommendations for Practitioners: This study provided a framework for the decision-makers of SMEs on the significant impact of the antecedents that enhanced the level of organizational performance. Hence, owners/CEOs of SMEs should improve their awareness and knowledge of the importance of learning orientation, TQM practices, and innovation culture since it could significantly influence their performance to achieve success and sustainability when adopted and managed systematically. The CEOs should also consider building an innovation culture in the internal environment, which enables them to transform new knowledge and ideas into innovative methods and practices. Recommendation for Researchers: The results in this study highlighted the mediating effect of TQM practices on the relationship between learning orientation (the independent variable) and organizational performance (the dependent variable) of SMEs and the moderating effect of innovation culture in the same nexus. These relationships were not extensively addressed in SMEs and thus required further validation. Impact on Society: This study also influenced the management strategies and practices adopted by entrepreneurs and policymakers working in SMEs in developing countries, which is reflected in their development and the national economy. Future Research: Future studies should apply the conceptual framework of this study and assess it further in other sectors, including large firms in developing and developed countries, to generalize the results. Additionally, other mechanisms should be introduced as significant antecedents of SMEs’ performance, such as market orientation, technological orientation, and entrepreneurial orientation, which could function with learning orientation to influence organizational performance effectively.

The role of knowledge sharing has been tested and explored in various empirical studies related to organizations. However, research that explores knowledge sharing in building innovation and explores the role of innovation comprehensively is still rare in the SME sector. The purpose of this study was to examine and explain the relationship between knowledge sharing in building innovation to build a resilient competitive advantage. This study used a quantitative design involving 118 respondents from 59 sample frames consisting of management levels, namely assistant and managers of SMEs Export in Bali Province, Indonesia. The questionnaire uses a Likert scale, and the data is processed with SmartPLS 3.0 software. The results showed that knowledge sharing has a significant effect on innovation and resilient competitive advantage and innovation as mediator. Theoretically, this research provides insight into the body of knowledge. Practically, research is concerned with the recognition of intellectual capital in the organization. The limitations of the study are discussed in the paper.

“…En este sentido, la comunicación, la presencia de una estrategia de innovación, la participación de los colaboradores en procesos de intercambio de conocimiento y comunidades de práctica son elementos fundamentales en la innovación empresarial (Díaz et al, 2014;González et al, 2014;Bravo y Herrera, 2009). Puntualmente, la cultura de innovación se define como la atmósfera multidimensional de valores y creencias compartidas por los equipos que los hacen propensos a explorar nuevas oportunidades y conocimientos para innovar (Naranjo y Calderon, 2018; Dabić et al, 2019;Ghasemzadeh et al, 2019). Este tipo de culturas son impulsadas por 4 aspectos fundamentales: liderazgo, recursos, gestión del conocimiento y procesos (Dobni y Klassen, 2020).…”

El objetivo de este artículo es describir las condiciones de aprendizaje organizacional y las prácticas que fomentan la innovación en las medianas empresas. La investigación se fundamenta epistemológicamente en el positivismo lógico, con un enfoque cuantitativo de tipo descriptivo. La muestra corresponde a medianas empresas del municipio de Valledupar, Colombia. La investigación utiliza la encuesta como técnica de recolección de datos y un cuestionario con escala tipo Likert. La validez de contenido del cuestionario se establece mediante juicio de expertos. La confiabilidad se determina utilizando el coeficiente de Alfa de Cronbach. Los resultados indican que las empresas analizadas fomentan los procesos de aprendizaje mediante la cultura organizacional, la formación y la articulación de la estrategia competitiva. Se concluye que las medianas empresas implementan la generación y selección de ideas como práctica de gestión de innovación. Sin embargo, presentan dificultades en la gestión de recursos para el desarrollo de proyectos innovadores.
