“…For example, Anning-Dorson and Nyamekye (2020) argue that organizational flexibility fosters innovation activities. In turn, Saeed et al (2021) state that organizational flexibility is a key antecedent for innovation. In this sense, the research results are in line with the conclusions found in these studies, given that pioneering orientation is considered as a strategic behavior enhanced by organizational flexibility increasing its ability to enter the market first, by creating new products through innovation activities.…”

Based on psychological ownership theory and social exchange theory, this paper analyzes the impact of personal knowledge psychological ownership on employee knowledge sharing in Chinese digital creative enterprises and examines the mediation effect of social alienation and the moderating role of organizational flexibility. Based on the analysis of 357 sample data, the results show that psychological ownership of personal knowledge significantly negatively impacts employee knowledge sharing, and social alienation is mediating between them. Organizational flexibility significantly reduces the positive impact of psychological ownership of personal knowledge on social alienation, and also plays a regulatory role in the relationship between psychological ownership of personal knowledge and employee knowledge sharing. With the improvement of resource flexibility and cultural flexibility, the intermediary role of social alienation between psychological ownership of personal knowledge and cultural and creative knowledge sharing is becoming smaller and smaller.

“…The interaction between employees and moral leaders can make employees have a strong sense of trust in the organization. As an important channel for the organization to convey employees’ feelings, moral leaders give employees sufficient emotional support and innovation tolerance, enhance employees’ innovation vitality and reward motivation ( Chughtai, 2016 ), and show more frequent implementation of innovative ideas and behaviors ( Chen et al, 2022 ; Saeed et al, 2022 ). Therefore, moral leaders encourage individuals to obtain opportunities and solutions for self-development ( Tang, 2017 ).…”

With the growth of people’s health needs and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is an inevitable trend to promote innovation behaviors of physical education (PE) teachers to innovate traditional physical education and adapt to national needs of sustainable development in the sports industry. Considering that moral leadership can promote innovation behavior of individuals through psychological factors, this study defines the types of innovation behavior, and from the perspective of psychological safety and identifying with leaders, discusses the impact of moral leadership on individuals’ innovation behavior by using hierarchical multivariate regression analysis, which provides inspiration for schools to strengthen the innovation behavior of physical education teachers. In this study, 327 questionnaires were distributed to PE teachers in Chinese provinces and 287 valid questionnaires were collected. The analysis of the collected data was performed with the help of the SPSSAU data analysis platform. The following conclusions were drawn: First, moral leadership has a significant positive impact on the psychological safety and internal and external innovation of physical education teachers. Secondly, moral leadership influences employees’ innovation behavior through psychological safety, and plays a part of intermediary role between moral leadership and internal and external innovation behavior; Third, by comparing the two impact mechanisms of innovation behavior, we found that moral leadership encourages employees to produce more external innovation behavior through psychological safety; Finally, strong leadership identity plays a positive role in regulating the relationship between moral leadership and innovation behavior.
