“…Besides that, our findings confirmed the work of Lv and Xiong [93] which demonstrated the positive influences of FIN on INO because it reduces financial constraints and increases the absorptive abilities of new ventures. Moreover, our study supported the previous literature line [ [90][91][92] which illustrated that financial constraints hinder INO since they impede innovative activities through declining the quality of inputs and outputs.…”

“…FIN illustrated by the existence of monetary organizations possesses a positive influence on enterprises' INO in the EU by organizing capital to stimulate organizational patenting actions [89]. In a similar viewpoint, financial constraints, which include financial barriers and the region and fund structure of firms, negatively influence the likelihood of improving enterprises' INO in various nations because they significantly impede firms' innovation input and output [90][91][92]. Moreover, Lv and Xiong [93] found that FIN positively affects the INO of Chinese firms since it eases financial constraints and enhances absorptive competencies.…”

In the COVID-19 pandemic phase, entrepreneurial financial support and entrepreneurial culture play a major part in stimulating entrepreneurship. However, it is still unclear how entrepreneurial financial support and entrepreneurial culture affect organizational creativity and firm innovation, and whether they enhance new venture performance. To answer these timely inquiries, this study adopted the resource-based view (RBV) theory to investigate the influences of entrepreneurial financial support and entrepreneurial culture on new venture performance through organizational creativity and firm innovation. Based on 315 responses collected from the entrepreneurs of new ventures operating in the Ho Chi Minh City region, Vietnam, a quantitative approach and the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) were employed for data analysis. The findings illustrated that all the proposed hypotheses were completely supported, except the effect of entrepreneurial financial support on new venture performance through organizational creativity. Moreover, firm innovation had the strongest direct effect on new venture performance, while organizational creativity and firm innovation partially mediated associations between entrepreneurial financial support, entrepreneurial culture, and new venture performance. Therefore, this study solved existing debates in the literature, while developing the resource-based view (RBV) theory in the context of entrepreneurship. In the post-COVID-19 epidemic stage, it provides a new understanding for administrators and other participants to create and promote effective financial support systems and national cultures which stimulate entrepreneurship, concurrently offering new ventures with rational approaches to utilize those external resources to develop their organizational creativity and firm innovation for improving their performance.

“…Notably, SMEs face difficulties comprehending the rules and regulations introduced by government offices, which are time-consuming because of the excessive paperwork ( Iqbal et al, 2020d ). These factors might hinder the positive impact of political ties on frugal innovation ( Ünlü and Alshebami, 2022 ). Thus, policymakers, government officials, and SME representatives are advised to resolve these issues and work together to align their strategies, developing novel approaches to spur frugal innovation.…”

This study aimed to examine the integrated relationships of business ties, political ties, sustainable leadership, and frugal innovation. The correlation was assessed with the consideration of social network and situational leadership theories. Data was collected from 363 Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) employees in Pakistan with a response rate of 72.60%. Accordingly, the Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed to examine the validity of the proposed hypotheses. Empirical findings confirmed the significant impact of managerial and business ties on frugal innovation, strengthened by sustainable leadership. However, data analysis negated the positive impact of political ties on frugal innovation, which remains non-significant with the introduction of sustainable leadership among Pakistani SMEs. Hence, future studies are recommended to explore other conditional factors and mediating mechanisms in the relationship between managerial ties and frugal innovation. This idea can bring a deeper insight into the vital role of networking. To the best of the author’s knowledge, no prior study is available about the integrated relationships of managerial ties, frugal innovation, and sustainable leadership. This study enriches the literature in innovation management, especially concerning the social network and situational leadership model.

<abstract> <p>Beyond the obvious positive effect on employees, job satisfaction is also critical for organizations. Job satisfaction affects workers' turnover intents, while also predicting employees' commitment to their workplace and their performances. Thus, not surprisingly, most organizations strive for employee satisfaction. The goal of the study is to examine which job characteristics and workplace practices affect the job satisfaction of employees, and particularly that of older ones (55+), and, in turn, enhance their will to work and may encourage them to work longer. Our analysis of the Social Survey for 2016 from the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics focused on job conditions and revealed that income satisfaction, additional benefits, a sense of belonging and work-life balance enhance job satisfaction and the desire to work longer, particularly among older workers. Among younger workers, a higher significance was found for professional training and skills. Implications for organizations and policymakers are discussed.</p> </abstract>
